About
Arriving at the hamlet of Kerstéphanie tells you straight away that this will be a meal apart. The stone building sits in a green park rather than on a seafront promenade. Inside, the fireplace brings warmth and character to the dining room; in fine weather, the terrace under the trees offers another atmosphere. Emmanuel Kouri, from the Périgord, trained with renowned chefs, notably Pierre Gagnaire, Yannick Alléno and Éric Frechon. Before Sarzeau, he ran Les Climats in Paris, which won a star under his direction. The Rhuys peninsula is an inspiring setting for cooking focused on fish, shellfish, vegetables and the season. The chef speaks of his attachment to terroir and merroir, the diversity of produce from the water. Let the catch and the seasons guide you. The house offers several menus, such as Contre-Courant and À la Dérive, of different lengths and prices.
