Le Vivier

Le Vivier is a seaside gastronomic restaurant in Lomener, specialising for more than 30 years in poissons et fruits de mer. Labeled Maître-Restaurateur and Tables & Auberges, it has earned a Bib Gourmand, appears in the Michelin guide and holds an Attestation d'Excellence. Kitchen staff have included pastry chef Cyrille Hervé and salé chefs Christelle Guillevin, Erwann Le Fur and Pascal Le Calvarre. Le Vivier highlights local production such as ormeaux from Groix, operates a three-star hotel, offers private dining for small groups, promotes local leisure, participates in charity and accepts chèques vacances. The dining room faces the sea and the Île de Groix; the bright, maritime salle à manger is perched on the rocks and served with a convivial, relaxed style. Gastronomic French cuisine built on daily catches and seasonal products emphasises extreme freshness and daily arrivals; preparations remain classical and prioritise precise cooking to showcase Atlantic fish, shellfish and crustaceans. Dedicated seasonal menus include a lobster menu from April to September and a scallop-focused season from October to March. Yves Guéguen has led the house since 1991 and holds the Maître restaurateur title. Specialties include plateau de fruits de mer; homard (Homard Thermidor); coquilles Saint-Jacques; ormeaux de Groix; and soufflé au Grand-Marnier.
