The Michelin guide has found it! This Breton restaurant hidden in a charming village deserves the detour.
The Michelin guide will soon award its new 2025 vintage stars, but it is not only content to crown exceptional tables: it also distinguishes restaurants which offer a quality gastronomic experience at a more accessible price with its gourmet bib. And the Brittany region has a lot of account, rich in a generous and inventive culinary scene. Let’s set off to discover this address that the Bretons were jealously kept secret until the Red Guide reveals it in the open.
This “hidden house” is aptly named, nestled between the cobbled alleys at the end of the half -timbering of a village classified among “the most beautiful in France”. Its magnificent wooden sides have crossed many eras, sheltering in turn since 1478 a crêperie, a house, a coffee, a bar and even a cabinet of curiosities before finding its bistronomic table vocation with unbeatable quality/price ratio, offering a menu for less than 40 euros.
This gastronomic gem is nestled in the heart of Rochefort-en-Terre, a village in Morbihan renowned for its romantic atmosphere, its floral profusions, its stylized shops and its festival of imaginary arts offering us a real journey through time. The couple of young restaurateurs Sarah Alba and Alban Chartron could not find better as a framework to create a restaurant in their image: intimate and passionate, after having made their weapons with big names in gastronomy, like the Parisian triple starry the epicure for Sarah, or Davy Tissot at the Villa Florentine de Lyon and Alain Ducasse at Louis XV for Alban.
The culinary experience oscillates between tradition and modernity, in an intimate and committed setting where the kitchen open to the room invites to share. The choice of slate card is constantly renewed, evolving to the rhythm of the seasons and doing The beautiful share of local products from the market, harvests, pickings, hunts and peaches, favoring organic, ethical and reasoned ingredients. The wine list is part of this same approach, highlighting biodynamic wines, lifes and areas that value the French terroir. No wonder that Cocoon Hors-du-Temps has filled the finest taste buds!
