About

Le M is not a harbour brasserie. Set in a granite townhouse on Rue du Commandant-Drogou, it offers another pace, suited to a tasting menu. The elegant, hushed atmosphere invites you to focus on the plates, a fine setting for a dinner for two or a celebration. Chef Philippe Le Bigot builds contemporary recipes on classic French foundations. Sauces, cooking and sequences of textures are central to his style. Brittany appears in the fish, fruit and local produce, sometimes paired with unexpected condiments. Published menus have offered line-caught pollack, sea bass, abalone and blue lobster, depending on the season and the catch. The restaurant also explores meat and offal for a varied tasting. In summer 2026, the menus started at around 65 € at weekday lunch, up to a grand menu at around 135 €; the tasting menu was served to the whole table.
