Manoir de Lan-Kerellec

In a magical setting overlooking the Channel, this seafront manor house boasts a bright, airy dining room whose raftered ceiling forms the shape of an upside-down ship’s hull. Chef Anthony Avoine, a staunch champion of Brittany produce, rolls out a repertory that gracefully blends finesse with authenticity. Examples include delicate langoustines married with crunchy pig’s trotter and smooth sweet-tasting gwell (a local dairy product) while John Dory is savvily paired with shellfish, wild garlic and a briny foamy emulsion. Attentive service and a breathtaking view further add to the establishment’s value-for-pleasure ratio.
