The restaurant welcomes guests with an inviting seaside terrace overlooking the harbor, offering a panoramic view of the morning tide and the sleepy fishing boats that drift in. Seasonally driven, its menu showcases the region’s finest oysters, mussels, and freshly‑caught lobster, each dish crafted by Chef Christophe Wasser with a touch of Breton zest.

With a menu that evolves with the seasons, diners can expect a series of daily specials featuring local produce and produce from nearby farms.
