About

The Hostellerie de la Mer has one of those locations that sum up one side of the Crozon peninsula. Set on the Le Fret quay, facing the Brest roadstead, the house invites you to watch the water and the boats while the kitchen showcases the riches of the coast. The dining room and the terrace, when the weather allows, extend this closeness to the sea. The menu highlights fresh fish, seafood and local produce, all homemade. The chef adapts the recipes to the catch and the season, with Breton cooking that aims for flavour rather than complication. A well-seasoned sauce, careful cooking or a side from the market is enough to showcase fine produce. The Hostellerie de la Mer is a pleasant stop during a stay on the peninsula, whether for lunch before an outing, dinner with a view or a relaxed moment in the bar. The restaurant and the bar have different opening hours.
