Michelin Restaurants in Lorient
Louise
Louise was chef Julien Corderoch's great-grandmother, and it was she who sparked his love of food and, indeed, his culinary vocation. In a warm, contemporary interior, he proposes surprise menus made up of tasty seafood and plant-based dishes, making good use of sustainably caught fish (line and small-boat fishing) and drawing on his knowledge of the maturing process: gilthead sea bream sashimi, wild herb pesto and wild carrot; raw scallops, warm broth of brown shrimp with coriander and ponzu sauce; gently steamed pollack, creamy cauliflower and shiitake roasted in miso butter. The lunchtime menu is a genuine bargain. Reasonably priced wines.

Gare aux Goûts
Chef Vincent Seviller has come up trumps in this establishment near the railway station. He invites diners on a bistronomic journey in a tasteful, modern setting. An experienced and talented craftsman, each dish is artfully presented, flavoursome and balanced. The lunchtime menu is chalked up on a slate, but more elaborate in the evening.

Le 26-28
Contemporary design, open kitchens, a chef – Arthur Friess (with a fine Michelin-starred career) – and, managing the restaurant floor, Charlotte Le Gall: these are the ingredients that make this place a success. Lovely contemporary cuisine made from impeccable ingredients – such as pigeon, spelt au gratin and roots. Menu renewed every month.

Le Tire Bouchon
Pay little attention to the unremarkable façade of this restaurant, as the main focus is on the pretty dining room with its exposed beams and open fire. Refined traditional cuisine that follows the seasons is served. Friendly service with a smile.

Sommelier Anthony Rault and chef Olivier Beurné took over from Jean-Paul Abadie at this local institution. The talented duo are keeping the quality high, while making their own mark. The menu, which is testament to inventive cuisine, features carefully prepared dishes replete with flavours, and top-notch seasonal produce (both meat and fish).

Le Yachtman
Unsurprisingly, seafood – in particular fish from the local auction – takes pride of place in this pretty restaurant located close to the marina. Simplicity and accuracy reign on the plate, while the dining area has a minimalist and intimate decor.

Sources
Hail from Larmor-Plage, Nicolas Le Tirrant are at the helm of this venue in a prime location on Quai des Indes overlooking the docks and sailing boats. A muted soft grey colour scheme underscored by light wooden parquet floors and an open kitchen sets the contemporary scene. The food features a minimalist, highly effective slant, voluntarily low-key so that the ingredients, often maritime, can shout their name and flavour loud and clear: mackerel, langoustine and red mullet. A banquet of flavour, flawless craftsmanship and a genuine regional identity flow unheeded in this source.
