La Table de Jeanne
This bustling, very friendly place, next to Vannes’ fish market – always a good area to go to restaurant-hunting – is hugely popular as a romantic rendezvous with young-ish local couples, but attracts visitors too with its zestful take on traditional recipes. The changing daily menu, chalked up on a blackboard, always includes some meat, but the freshest fish from the market is the speciality, from clams or scallops to burbot spiced with turmeric. The three cave-like dining rooms make a snug retreat in low season, and there’s an exceptionally well-priced wine list. Address: 13 place de la Poissonnerie, 56000 Vannes Prices: lunch menu £14 except Sun, dinner a la carte, with typical starters around £10, mains around £20 Le Roscanvec This half-timbered town house, on a busy little lane in the heart of old Vannes, makes an unexpected venue for the innovative, experimental cuisine of up-and-coming chef Thierry Seychelles. Regularly changing menus focus on local, seasonal ingredients; often there are just two main-course options, one fish and one meat, though they may combine surf with turf, as with foie gras in a smoked eel sauce. Prices are high by regional standards, but Roscanvec really is something special. In summer, there are a few outdoor tables; otherwise the dining room is upstairs. Address: 17 rue des Halles, 56000 Vannes Prices: lunch menus £22 & £26, except Sun; dinner menus £48–78 |
