About
Le Clos de la Fontaine has the charm of a house where you come first and foremost for carefully made French cooking. Away from spectacular trends, it rests on recognisable produce, controlled cooking and a personal welcome. In Guingamp, it is a good stop while exploring the heritage of the inland Trégor. Stéphane Ollivier’s cooking puts freshness before piling up techniques. Regional produce, fish, shellfish, vegetables and meat, can be paired with characterful sauces, and the chef’s skill shows in how he treats delicate flesh or achieves a precise jus. Although inland, the house gives a special place to seafood: scallops in season are a good example of Côtes-d’Armor produce, along with fish worked with French sauces. Sauces, such as a cider reduction, a meat jus or a butter sauce, link a dish to its Breton surroundings. Ask for the chef’s suggestion.
