Les Ateliers Gourmands
About
Nestled in the heart of Ploërmel, Les Ateliers Gourmands is housed in a 15th‑century building that has been lovingly preserved and transformed into a cozy culinary haven. The restaurant welcomes diners from Tuesday to Saturday, offering a relaxed lunch menu starting at 12:00 pm and a warm dinner service from 19:00 pm. Guests can also indulge in the specialty crepes and gratins available for take‑out, each hand‑crafted with local produce and seasonal ingredients. A private terrace opens during July and August, providing the perfect spot for al‑fresco dining when the weather allows. The menu’s focus on “galettes” and “gratin” showcases traditional Breton flavors, while the serving style encourages a communal, family‑friendly atmosphere. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor spaces, and highchairs are available for young children, making it an ideal spot for both tourists and locals alike. Reservations—or at least a call to the number 02 97 72 10 76—are highly recommended, especially in peak season to secure a table at the terrace. Beyond the food, the historic setting itself is a highlight: original stone walls, charming courtyards, and even an on‑site “marmouset” wall that adds a touch of whimsy. Whether you’re a history buff strolling through the cobbled streets of Ploërmel or simply craving artisanal French fare, Les Ateliers Gourmands offers an authentic and memorable experience.
