Le 26-28 | Modern Cuisine in Lorient – Michelin-Recommended Restaurant

A bright, welcoming space for modern cuisine in Lorient

At 26-28 rue Poissonnière, chef Arthur Friess runs a dining room that is both generous in size and deliberately calm. The large, light-filled space leaves room between tables, with air conditioning for warm days and a private room that seats ten for family or friends.

The open kitchen is the heart of the restaurant. Sounds, scents, and the chef’s movements draw you in. “Being physically close to my guests lets me listen to their desires and comments,” says Friess. His approach to modern cuisine is grounded in authenticity: a short, focused menu built around fresh, seasonal, and local produce, sourced from sustainable or organic agriculture.

A chef trained in Paris’s great houses

Arthur Friess learned his craft in some of Paris’s most respected kitchens, including the Royal Monceau under Roberto Rispoli and the Plaza Athénée with Alain Ducasse and Romain Meder. At Le 26-28, he translates that experience into light, sensory, and savoury dishes that honour the ingredients without fuss.

The restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended award, a recognition that aligns with its sincere, ingredient-driven ethos.

Relaxed atmosphere, serious food

The setting is stylish yet welcoming — a place where gastronomic ambition meets a genuinely relaxed vibe. Whether you come for a weekday lunch or a private celebration, the attentive service and open kitchen create a connection between chef and diner that feels immediate and honest.
