About
On the edge of Kerguélen beach, Érin, the Bistrot de la Dune, combines the freedom of a seaside restaurant with serious contemporary cooking. Set in the Hôtel Les Mouettes in Larmor-Plage, the restaurant enjoys a remarkable view over the ocean and the island of Groix. The terrace, when the weather allows, extends this close link with the coast. It is a tempting setting for a long lunch or an evening watching the light change over the roadstead. Chef Nicolas Le Tirrand puts local fishing at the heart of his identity. Fish of the day, shellfish and crustaceans join a seasonal menu that also makes room for a few cuts of meat, notably cooked on the barbecue. This variety keeps the house from being just a fish restaurant: the aim is to cook fine produce with precision, in the spirit of an accessible, generous gastronomic bistro. Érin should not be confused with the longer one-off tasting events the house also holds. The Bistrot de la Dune has its own pace, menu and experience. Ask which menu will be served on your chosen date, and leave time for the beach and the paths around the hotel.
