The story
Perched on the slopes of Brittany’s Pink Granite Coast, the Manoir de Lan-Kerellec was built from the vision of painter Pierre Gervais and acquired by the Daubé family in 1925. For nearly a century, the same family has cared for this seaside retreat, now led by fourth-generation general manager Pauline Daubé. The spirit of the place – rooted in art, family, and the wild Atlantic landscape – remains unchanged.
The restaurant’s dining room, built with a striking “boat hull” structure, opens onto a panorama of jagged islands and ever-changing light. From your table, you look out over the islands of Millau, Molène, and Losquet – a seascape of rare intensity. The setting alone is reason to linger, but the food here holds its own.
The kitchen follows a philosophy of “creative cuisine which retains the original flavours of the produce.” It is a traditional cuisine flavoured by the open sea, with a pinch of modernity and a lot of sincerity. Lobster is the key product – no doubt. The result is modern cuisine that lets the raw ingredients speak, rooted in the seafood bounty of the Côte de Granit Rose.
This approach earned the Manoir de Lan-Kerellec a Michelin star, a recognition of the chef’s balanced, honest cooking. Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the menu reflects the tides and the season, served in a room that feels both elegant and unhurried.
The Daubé family’s hospitality extends beyond the table: the neighbouring hotel offers comfortable rooms, many with sea views, and the lounge bar is a quiet spot to wind down after a meal. But for those seeking a genuine taste of Brittany, the restaurant remains the heart of this family manoir.
