Gourmet Restaurant A change of scenery and weather! Matthieu and Pei-Pei Keusch have left Martinique and settled in the heart of medieval Dinan, in a warm, rustic 17th-century house with exposed stonework and beams. Admittedly, we're a long way from the codes of contemporary design, but this simplicity is reassuring and even touching. It's also perfectly in tune with a kitchen whose inspiration is sometimes old-fashioned, or more generally timeless. However, we were dismayed to read the menu, which, in the heart of winter, offered "summer truffles" as well as "pea foam"... This could be a real turn-off! Nevertheless, Matthieu's technique is undeniable. The chicken liver parfait with onion marmalade, pickles and Viennese bread is a pleasure to eat. The pretty little snacked scallops go well with thin slices of Guémené andouille sausage, complemented by a beet boulangère, leek fondue and oyster mushroom siphon. Consensual as can be, the dessert, in the form of baba au vieux rhum and a creamy Madagascar vanilla whipped cream, passes the test with flying colors. The wine selection is interesting (domaine de Montgilet, st véran from domaine Corsin...) and the service very friendly.
