On the road from Concarneau, 3 km (2 mi) west of Pont-Aven, is this roadside inn with an attractive garden. Chef Guy Guilloux's open kitchen (with the large hearth he uses to grill above all langoustine, but also crab and fish) turns out local delicacies such as galette crepes stuffed with spider crab and Breton ham specialties. Splurge without guilt on the light homemade rhubarb and strawberry compote.

We have eaten at La Taupiniere two or three times a year for the past five years and have never been disappointed. The food is glorious and living in Belgium we are quite spoiled. The menu is flexible, you can mix and match according to your fancy, the wine list is outstanding and the food could not be more fresh. The chef sources almost all his ingredients locally and you can taste it. The service is friendly and despite what it says here on the site, we always show up in jeans.
