Hostellerie de la Pointe Saint-Mathieu

Opposite the grandiose site of the headland of Saint Mathieu, this hostelry, which was opened by her grandparents in 1954 and then run by her parents, is now in the hands of Nolwenn Corre. The family business has kept pace with its era while respecting its heritage, courtesy of cutting-edge fixtures and fittings that rub shoulders with old stones and a huge fireplace. Plenty of poise and acres of ambition depict chef Nolwenn’s personality. Her dishes owe as much to her virtuoso skill as to the 100% local ingredients, including langoustines from Guilvinec, scallops from Brest harbour, fish from Le Conquet, and local veg. Splendid guestrooms with a sea view and simpler fare available at Bistrot 1954.
