There’s a real surprise awaiting you in Plougonvelin at the western tip of Brittany, where Nolwenn Corre has taken over the helm of this Hostellerie opened in 1954 by her grandparents and taken over in 1988 by her parents. This family affair has managed to evolve with the times while retaining its traditional appeal, thanks to its old stonework and a monumental fireplace which blends harmoniously with the decidedly contemporary furnishings. The young female chef is very much at ease and full of determination in the kitchen, where her dishes owe as much to her skill as to the 100% local ingredients that she uses, including langoustines from Guilvinec, scallops from Brest harbour, fish from Le Conquet, and vegetables from a neighbouring farm.
