L'Embrun
Brest's only one-star Michelin restaurant, where a former Top Chef finalist cooks modern dishes with Breton seasonal produce in an open kitchen.
Chef Guillaume Pape reached the final of Top Chef 2019 and previously worked with Olivier Bellin at Auberge des Glazicks. The restaurant is on Rue de Lyon in the city center. It has a modern design with an open kitchen and focuses on high-quality, seasonal cooking that reflects the local terroir. The signature dish is line-caught pollock flame-grilled with champagne sauce, served with pumpkin dumplings and shellfish. For dessert, “The Tenderness of Milk” is a rice pudding mousse. The lunch menu costs about €39, and dinner menus range from €64 to €109. Reserve by phone several weeks ahead. It is about a five-minute walk from the town hall on Place de la Liberté, and it can also be reached by tram.
