Le Yachtman

Le Yachtman emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients and careful execution, presenting a repertoire built around market-driven technique; the restaurant offers three set menus alongside daily market suggestions and has been selected by the Michelin Guide in the category Poissons et fruits de mer. A modern, refined dining room two minutes' walk from the Lorient marina provides an elegant, attentive setting. Cuisine is seafood-led and carefully prepared, driven by the morning catch and seasonal produce, with a menu philosophy that centers on respecting the product and delivering refined, gastronomic preparations. Deian Cardoso is the chef; he prepares daily suggestions from the morning catch and seasonal vegetables and works with a second, a commis and a team of six kitchen assistants. Front of house is managed by Eddy Derré, a sommelier by training who forged his career in Paris and at Le Pic in Lorient before taking the helm of Le Yachtman and its wine shop; the house highlights fresh fish dishes, Limousine beef and homemade desserts and maintains an extensive on-site wine cellar with a sommelier-led team to pair wines from property estates.
