L'Amiral
A century-old restaurant facing the fishing harbour and walled town, where Simenon wrote 'The Yellow Dog.' Grilled lobster is the signature.
Located at 1 Avenue Pierre Guéguen, facing the fishing port and the walled town of Concarneau. Originally an early 20th-century inn, it was where Georges Simenon wrote the Maigret novel 'The Yellow Dog' in 1930. The restaurant has a set menu named after him and is also a favourite haunt of Commissaire Dupin, the detective of the German bestselling crime novels. The house specialty is half a grilled lobster served with a crustacean curry sauce, plus local sole, turbot, seafood platters and French steak. It has a bistro side and a formal dining side. The daily bistro special costs about €13, and set menus range from €27 to €68. Closed Mondays, and reservations are accepted by phone only.
