We made a res and had a little trouble finding the restaurant. But a phone call put us back on track. Warm welcome, enter through the hotel, attractive dining room, a wall rack of Quimper faience plates, As it was a gorgeous day we opted to eat outside on the patio facing a bank of late blooming hydrangeas.There is an extensive menu of prix fixe and also a la carte. We opted for the the lunch menu of 2 courses for €15 or 3 courses for €18. Fresh shrimp coleslaw salad, lieu de linge fish (pollock) on a bed of garden peas, black Thai rice and asparagus sauce. I don't really like asparagus. Tasty concoction but the dessert was heavenly. Petite dark choc tart with 2 crunchy croquante, vanilla ice cream on a morsel of gingerbread and a dollop of dark choc sauce on a decorated plate. See photo. If you find yourself in Western Brittany go!

Excellent food perfectly prepared service with a smile. Veal super tender, excellent vegetables well seasoned. Fish prepared with fava beans just perfect. Desserts prepared à la minute served warm; pineapple crumble with ice cream and chocolate dish both worthy ways to finish a fine repast. And this for 22€ a no brainer indeed. I don’t overate places.

Don't forget to order the cheese, they have a tonneau de fromage (a barrel mounted on a trolley on which they wheel around the cheeses).
