Auberge du Menez sur Saint-Rivoal

The setting, the inventive cuisine in both form and substance, and the friendliness of the team were all remarkable.

While hiking in the Monts d’Arrée, we stumbled upon this incredible restaurant in Saint-Rivoal. The cuisine is bold, local, and remarkably refined, with each dish surprising and delighting the palate. The service is also noteworthy: precise, attentive, with judicious and expertly crafted recommendations, worthy of a fine bistro. You can sense a genuine knowledge of the ingredients and a sincere desire to guide without ever being pushy. A rare and unexpected discovery that transforms a simple stop into a memorable experience. A place well worth the detour.

Local cuisine using local ingredients but inspired by other culinary traditions. This restaurant offers perfectly executed cooking techniques and seasonings. Creative cuisine featuring many flavors unfamiliar to the general public (cosho, hay, smoky flavor in desserts) and a zero-waste approach (using pig's blood as a condiment). A small menu, but each ingredient is expertly prepared. Suitable for pesco vegetarians and vegetarians! A restaurant well worth a visit! Price for two people: starter, main course, dessert, aperitif, and bottle of wine: €120

The Auberge du Menez is a wonderful discovery. They use local, regional products combined with international influences. Everything is homemade, including the vinegars and fermented ingredients that add depth to the dishes. The menu is concise, offering one meat dish, one fish dish, and one vegetarian dish, all three expertly prepared. We stumbled upon it by chance, but we'll definitely be back. Thank you.

A wonderful surprise! Having come from Alsace to visit Brittany, we stumbled upon this little restaurant, worthy of the finest gastronomic establishments. The young team is daring in their creations, preparing dishes with finesse using local produce. The portions are generous and the flavors original. Bravo!! It was simply perfect 👍

Highly creative dishes and excellent service. Refined yet down-to-earth fine dining in a very relaxed atmosphere. We had reserved a table for lunch and received a very warm welcome. The service was truly outstanding. As I have a lactose intolerance, we inquired about dishes containing the fewest dairy products. Without even asking, alternatives were offered for any lactose-containing components, in consultation with the kitchen. For starters, we had the Weisswurst (Bavarian white sausage) and the taco; the Weisswurst, in particular, was incredibly delicious and a very surprising flavor. For the main course, we had pork belly and squid, both absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and again a delightful surprise in terms of taste. We have some experience with fine dining and Michelin-starred restaurants, and this more casual establishment completely won us over. We were expecting a "wow" factor, and we weren't disappointed. The vegetable components were also wonderfully prepared. To finish, there was a great selection of cheeses, and I was treated to a specially adapted rhubarb dessert with apples. The recommended wine pairing was also excellent. The value for money was unbeatable. We highly recommend a visit and would love to come back on our next holiday.

Extraordinary cuisine, clearly a testament to creativity, worthy of a fine dining restaurant. We tasted some truly stunning and incredibly flavorful combinations of ingredients. Bravo! 👏 As for the waiter, he delighted us with his extensive knowledge of the wines and the menu. Bravo! 👏 to him as well.

An unexpected and daring culinary experience in St. Rivoal, a village in the Monts d'Arrée at the foot of St. Michel. Imagination, authenticity, local produce, and service provided by the chefs... A must-try.

The pig's work is exceptional! Well done to the chef!

What a superb place! Stone meets wood, creating a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. As for the food, I loved the caramelized pork (even though I'm not a meat eater at all) with its potato mousseline! Delicious! The service was discreet, friendly, and full of helpful advice to tantalize the taste buds. A truly lovely place for a wonderful discovery! I could have spent the whole afternoon there! Thank you! * Special mention for the beautiful presentation of the dishes and the organic, seasonal produce.
