About
In Plérin, Nicolas and Solange Adam welcome guests to a gastronomic house facing the port of Le Légué. Nicolas Adam’s precise seafood cuisine, starred since 2003, meets a demanding cellar and carefully chosen Breton produce. La Vieille Tour stands near Le Légué, the port that links Saint-Brieuc to the sea. In this urban and maritime setting, Nicolas and Solange Adam have created a house where people come for the quality of the produce and attentive service. The restaurant does not try to reproduce postcard cooking: it expresses a living, delicious Brittany. Norman by birth and Breton at heart, Nicolas Adam worked in France and the United States before choosing Plérin. His wish to run his own house shows in very personal cooking, attentive to the balance of each preparation. The star held since 2003 reflects lasting high standards. The sea is at the centre of the experience. Local fish and shellfish meet seasonal vegetables, careful jus and garnishes that highlight the main ingredient. Menus can change with the catch: let the dishes of the moment guide your discovery. The house gives wine and pairings a strong place. A wide selection lets you choose for seafood, more earthy dishes or new discoveries. For a celebration, give the sommelier your budget to find the right pairing without surprises on the bill. To enjoy a full menu, set aside the time it needs. Opening times are shorter than a brasserie’s and some periods may be closed. Explain allergies and restrictions in advance so the team can confirm they suit the menu. The visit can continue on the quays of Le Légué or towards the Pointe du Roselier, for another view of the bay of Saint-Brieuc; check the weather for a coastal walk.
