About
At the tip of the Pointe de Pen Lan, in Billiers, the Domaine de Rochevilaine seems almost to belong to the rocks and the sea. Its characterful buildings, gardens and rooms open onto the landscape form a very special whole, where a gastronomic meal blends into a stay. The light of the Vilaine estuary, the movement of the water and the nearby Morbihan coast give the meal an exceptional setting. Chef Maxime Nouail draws direct inspiration from these surroundings. A keen fisherman himself, he champions fish, shellfish and crustaceans, while giving vegetables and produce from inland Brittany a real place. Lobster holds an emblematic position in the restaurant’s history, but the chef does not stop there: the menu seeks to reveal the nature and quality of each ingredient through precise cooking, balanced sauces and seasonal sides. You come to Rochevilaine for an occasion that deserves time. Attentive service, the wine cellar, the succession of courses and the sea setting invite you to linger. Guests who want more can stay at the estate and explore the Pointe de Pen Lan, though you do not need to stay to enjoy the restaurant.
