Not actually Locquirec, but just down the road in St Michel En Greve. Should you be holidaying in…read morethe area, this is an absolute must-visit restaurant. During the day, the Voile de Cuir is a saddlery but in the evenings it has around half a dozen tables set out in very a cozy, rustic room, with lots of quirky french quotes scattered around the walls. The proprietor, Jean-christophe, and his family are incredibly welcoming. We even got a guided tour of the workshops and the wood-fired oven he was building while we waited for our meals. The food is all locally sourced and organic and the steak (cooked in front of you on a charcoal stove in the middle of the dining area see picture) is to die for. The portions are also very generous. By far the best restaurant we found in the area if not the whole country! n. Photo link: http://www.voiledecuir.com/images/r011.jpg

This little restaurant / cave à vins stands in the center of Brest. We had three glasses of…read moredifferent kind of wines and a cheese plate, seated at the counter. A few days letter we came back for a proper lunch. We chose a toasted camembert with honey and green salad, a plate with vegetarian dishes, haddock with cockles plus vegetables and for the desert a pear and chocolate crumble. We drank red organic wine. Good points : - Different interesting organic wines - Local food (vegetables, bread, butter etc.). For example cheese from the fromager affineur Sten Marc's - Lovely place, welcoming and authentic. The garden is charming and the second room super lightly. - Agreeable staff, thoughtful and which give good advice To be improved : - The place is open as a wine bar but it is more a restaurant. We arrived at 6 PM and it was obvious that the preparation of the diner was the priority for the staff. We had quiet the feeling to disturb the preparation of the following meal. - Only one veggy dish. Moreover even if the turnips, the cabbage, the carrots were delicious and even if the pumpkin soup was tasty the dish had too much (good) potatoes. - The seasonings have to be improved. - The dessert was good but not outstanding. The pear was perfectly cooked and the chocolate was not over sugared but the crumble mix was OK.

From the owner: Toucher l'écume de la mer Ce titre rappelle immédiatement l'oeuvre de Boris Vian qui décrit, avec…read morebeaucoup d'humour, la vie de plusieurs personnages dans un décor et surtout en compagnie d'objets vivants. Mais ici, tout est normal et plutôt accueillant. L'ancienne maison d'armateur, datant du 16ème siècle, offre des cheminées monumentales, des pierres apparentes, une vue et deux terrasses sur le port. Dans ce décor chaleureux et si proche de la mer, les poissons et fruits de mer proposés aux convives sont bel et bien à leur place. La fraîcheur des seiches, des pétoncles ou du homard sont garanties.

We all didn't speak French at all but the Owner Franck did his best to explain to us of each item of the menú with the help of his Chef, She did a fantastic job detailing the items on the menu. I ordered the Aumônière de chèvre aux alques as my appetizer, Lieu Jaune en écailles de chorizo riz comme une paell et salade de poivrons balsamique as my Entree, and Douceur Rasque as my dessert. Every meal that came presented to me blew my mind! I'm amazed with everything that came out. I would definitely recommend this place to others and dear family and friends. Merci Franck for having us and Merci Chef for the tadow dinner!
