About
In Baden, chef Luca Marteddu creates one-star cuisine at Le Gavrinis that explores Breton produce, fish, market garden vegetables and flavours from further afield. Elegant sauces and variations on a single ingredient give a clear identity to this Gulf of Morbihan restaurant. Le Gavrinis is in Baden, on the mainland, in a quiet setting by the Gulf of Morbihan. Its name recalls the island famous for its megalithic cairn, but the restaurant is not on the island: worth knowing to avoid a wrong trip. The elegant setting suits a relaxed meal, to be combined with a walk along the Gulf or a heritage visit booked in advance. Chef Luca Marteddu works with Brittany’s resources but does not rule out condiments and inspirations from elsewhere. His cooking brings together fish, market garden vegetables and spicy flavours, without losing the thread of the main produce, with rigorous technique. A hallmark of his cooking is the attention given to sauces and jus. They reveal the nuances of a fish, extend the flavour of a vegetable or link several preparations. The chef also works different interpretations of the same ingredient, giving depth to the tasting. Nearby producers play an important role: fishing, livestock farming and market gardening change with the seasons. Ask about the current catch and mention allergies when booking. Le Gavrinis holds one star in 2026. It remains a human-sized house, with a polished dining room and service that accompanies the progression of the dishes. Allow enough time for a gastronomic menu, especially in the evening; prices are those given when you book. Le Gavrinis is also a three-star hotel, but room and table availability are separate. The official website stresses that booking the restaurant is compulsory, including for hotel guests. The harbours and paths of Baden and Larmor-Baden offer magnificent views of the islands. The Gavrinis cairn requires an organised boat trip and cannot be visited freely from the restaurant. A walk to Île Berder requires checking the tide times. Plan these outings ahead so you do not arrive late for your meal. The official website announces that the restaurant will be closed from Sunday 15 November to Tuesday 1 December 2026, reopening on Wednesday 2 December for dinner. Service days are Wednesday to Saturday, subject to change.
