About

Le Beau Rivage has a rare asset: its dining room overlooks Brittany’s largest lake. Bay windows extend the meal into a panorama of water and wooded hills, changing with the weather and the seasons, from bright summer shores to autumn colours. Tables near the windows are in demand, so ask when you book. The restaurant, taken over in June 2024, is run by Teddy Le Padellec, whose cooking champions regional resources and fresh produce. His style sits between French foundations and contemporary bistro cooking, with sauces, textures and pairings giving personality to familiar produce. The Maître Restaurateur title, obtained in 2025, underlines the house’s commitment to homemade cooking. The menu brings together fish, meat and seasonal vegetables in a generous style; asparagus, eel or fish dishes have shown its range. If the view is your reason for coming, a daytime meal lets you enjoy it fully.
