The story
Facing the sea on the port of Binic, Brasserie d'Asten (also known as Asten Restaurant) occupies a contemporary, minimalist space that makes the most of its panoramic setting. The architecture is clean and transparent, with large windows that erase the boundary between the dining room and the ever-changing seascape. The restaurant describes itself as “a place where harmony and authenticity go hand in hand with inspired gastronomy.”
Breton-born Samuel Selosse learned the foundations of traditional cuisine at Monsieur Chandouineau in Redon before refining his skills at several celebrated houses: Le Coquillage with Olivier Roellinger, La Pyramide with Patrick Henriroux, and Le K2 with Gatien Demczyna. Back in his native region, on the shores of the Goëlo, he now expresses a cuisine that is both creative and modern. “Simplicity, naturalness, and authenticity invite you to dream and travel through taste,” reads the restaurant’s motto.
The kitchen works with a network of local producers—market gardeners, breeders, butchers, fishermen, and bakers—to build menus that respect the environment and highlight the best of the terroir. The “Table d’Asten” offers a gastronomic experience built on fresh, high-quality ingredients, subtly transformed by the chef’s technique.
Three menus are available: the Menu du Marché at €45 (lunch only, weekdays), a Menu Sentier at €72, and a Menu de nos Côtes at €97—the latter an ode to the sea, with multiple courses inspired by Breton coastal treasures. Optional wine pairings and extras like a cheese trolley or signature cocktail complete the meal.
The Michelin guide’s Bib Gourmand distinction recognises “good quality, good value cooking,” and Brasserie d’Asten delivers just that. The combination of a dramatic sea view, precise cooking, and a commitment to fresh, local ingredients makes this a restaurant where the quality of the experience comfortably exceeds the price.
