Travel guide Lorient
Lorient : The Michelin guide review
This port for the Far East subsquently became a naval harbour. Progressively both these activities ceased, and now they are restoring the appearance of a maritime port to Lorient as the town turns to tourism. Already the Interceltic Festival attracts more and more adherents. The town was reconstructed after the Second World War, making it a treasure trove of 1950s and 1960s architecture.

L'Art Gourmand
14 pl. de la Maison-des-Princes F - 56620 Pont-Scorff
This small restaurant combines simplicity and a good eye for detail - no mean feat! Roast hake with a mixed spice sauce, poached pears, mulled wine and almond sponge biscuits are just a few of the dishes on offer.
-
Fish and shellfish are the stars of the show - freshly fished and cooked to perfection. Start with the langoustines, then try the turbot with mousseline sauce, lobster or the Ribot cream dessert. It doesn't get much more Breton than this!
-
Restaurant facing the sea serving seafood cuisine (of course!). Guests' toes are almost lapped by the water while the chef employs extremely fresh fish and seafood (and other) ingredients. The children's menu is a delight for mini-gourmets.
-
Not far from the port, the dining room is characterised by simple minimalist design and a certain intimacy. The well-prepared food takes its inspiration from the sea (fresh cod with aioli, Clementine tartlets).
-
Enjoy tasty, fresh and unpretentious cuisine prepared in this restaurant run by two brothers. It has the resolutely lounge-style atmosphere of the Grand Théâtre.
-
Behind its granite walls, this restaurant taken over by a young couple in 2010 offers a variety of meat and fish dishes. Lovely flavours and carefully decorated dining room.
