About
In the lanes of La Roche-Bernard, L’Auberge Bretonne offers a special pleasure: ambitious cooking in the heart of a small Cité de Caractère. Its address on Place Duguesclin, in an old stone house, creates a warm atmosphere from the start. The patio vegetable garden, when accessible, adds a green presence. Chef Benoît Gauchet trained with major figures of French cooking, notably Jacques Thorel, Olivier Roellinger and Jean-François Piège, before asserting his own style. Fish, shellfish and seasonal vegetables have a large place in his work. He meets producers at the Vannes and La Roche-Bernard markets and changes his dishes according to the quality of the produce. The house is also a charming hotel, so you can extend your stop: visit the old lanes, walk down to the harbour and admire the Vilaine before sitting down to a gastronomic meal.
