About

A few kilometres from Rennes, the Auberge du Pont d’Acigné shows that a great gastronomic experience can be born in the countryside, to the rhythm of a river. Sylvain Guillemot’s restaurant sits on the Vilaine, surrounded by greenery. Its lounges and terrace create a calm setting where people come as much for the cooking as for the feeling of escaping everyday life without travelling far. The chef offers instinctive chef’s cuisine built around the moment: foraging, local produce, deliveries from the coast and ingredients used in their entirety. The house highlights its attention to the seasons and respect for producers, which shows in careful technique, a refusal to overwork the produce and a wish to keep natural textures. The restaurant holds one star in 2026. The house’s history is part of its identity: Sylvain Guillemot created the restaurant by turning a former bar and petrol station into an inn devoted to cooking. Today, people come here for a dinner for two, a birthday or a big occasion, in a spirit where gastronomic precision goes hand in hand with a warm welcome.
