About
The Gallo word méson, meaning house, suits this Intra-Muros address. At 8 rue de la Corne-de-Cerf, far from the standardised restaurants of a big tourist port, the experience favours a characterful dining room and time to savour. You enter a house driven by culinary and human conviction. Vincent Prémorvan champions cooking attentive to the origin of ingredients and how they were produced or caught. Natali plays an essential part in the welcome, adding to the atmosphere without too much formality. The nearby harbour led the chef to small-boat fishermen, with a wish to favour practices that respect natural cycles, including fish breeding seasons. This direct link shapes the menu: species, sizes and availability change. The team grows a vegetable garden that supplies herbs, edible flowers and some fruit and vegetables, depending on the season.
