Ar Men Du, Hôtel & Restaurant Gastronomique

Fantastic postion and we had a gale blowing so the views where brillant. They speak perfect English and had menus in English. Service is first class, venue is perfect, wine list is on a iPad. We went for the five course menu plus a few extras came with it. The scallops were so fresh and we had goose barnacles(percedes). Lobster raviolis where very tasty but pasta was too thick and tough. They said the monkfish was cooked to fifty degrees but it sat on a jelly which it did not melt. Dish was tasteless and the monkfish was like cottonwood.This was the only faults, the veal fillet with veal oxtail was sublime. The two desserts where to die for and we look forward to returning next year.

As we approach the time of the Tour de France, I am reminded of the term HC, or Beyond Category. In an age in which we are encouraged to write quick and superficial critiques of everything we buy or use, it is wise to reflect on what is really important. Ar Men Du respects its harsh but beautiful landscape. It provides much in the way of comfort without clashing with its environment. By definition, tourists keep moving on. But rarely you encounter places that remain in your consciousness and compel you to return. As with a lovely piece of music, playing it is one thing, playing it well is another. There is considerable insight and hard work in establishing and maintaining a hotel like Ar Men Du. One could make a few minor criticisms, but the overall experience here is magnificent. Most everyone in the hotel business believes in welcoming their guests. It's the ones that do so naturally, with great enthusiasm, that you remember. There is that spirit here. The setting is inspiring, whether you are physically active, reflective or both. While the wifi may be sketchy, this should be a time to understand where you are and why. There is some delightful local art work on display, and some for sale. The restaurant is memorable. The staff is hard working and congenial. This is a place and experience to savor.

Great spot - you reach it, you cannot drive further, you will fall in the sea. Pretty small, intimate hotel with a great team in place to run it. A short stay but worth the detour in beautiful Brittany . Top restaurant where cuisine is inventive and using local & organic products. Interesting to see... the Big boss is on the floor helping to run the show... You don't see that often nowadays ! .... Stay there and enjoy!

We were touring Brittany and found this gem! Amazing location, amazing ,organic food from their garden or the neighborhood’s farmers , amazing service and amazing view. The room was small but clean , nice and sea view. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and fresh with a lot of taste We really recommend this place.
