About
At 25 avenue Ernest-Renan in Lannion, L’Anthocyane offers instantly recognisable gastronomic cuisine. Chef Marc Briand has chosen Brittany as his raw material and Japan as a source of technical and sensory inspiration. With Marie, he welcomes guests in a contemporary dining room that prefers clarity and personality to decorative effects. The kitchen works line-caught fish, shellfish, crustaceans and organic Breton vegetables, with particular care for sauces, broths and condiments. Ingredients such as miso or shiitake are not there to transform a Breton fish artificially: they reveal contrasts, strengthen a texture or open a new pairing. Fine technique serves a clear plate. The restaurant has one star confirmed in 2026. It is especially suited to an exceptional dinner or a discovery meal for lovers of seafood and precision.
