Ar Men Du

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.

Disappointing meal. This hotel is ina very special position and we loved being able to walk straight out onto the Coastal Path. However our room was not that luxurious and we had velux windows so it was difficult to really appreciate the gorgeous sea views. The breakfast was expensive and although the coffee was delicious there were no croissants which we love to have in France and a huge selection of cakes which really are not our thing for breakfast. We couldn’t eat at the hotel for the first two nights as it was fully booked but when we eventually did - on a Sunday evening - it was such a disappointment. It really was style over substance and I, unfortunately, did not rate one of the five courses. My monkfish was really tasteless and the pudding inedible. So Very Disappointed and crazily expensive. Sorry!!

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!

Beautiful location. The restaurant was incredible!

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.

This was our 3rd stay at Ar Men Du and it will not be our last. It is such a perfect small hotel in a unique and beautiful location. A walk before dinner to improve the appetite for dinner and one in the morning after a delicious breakfast. Just step outside the door and onto the beautiful beach. The room (a Cosy Chambre) had everything we needed for a one night stay, incuding a very comfortable bed and stunning view of Plage Tahiti. Breafast had the usual excellent quality ingredients and the relaxed timing is perfect for a lazy morning. Generous coffee and hot chocolate. Dinner (we booked half board) was a no choice menu, but had very interesting choices. The two amuse bouches and the strawberry desert were highlights, while the lamb main course was unusual and delicious (if a tiny bit rich). Staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back (hopefrully for more than one night).

The Hotel, Restaurant and the Kindness of all people working there was impressive. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay! Try the vegetarian menu. It`s one of a kind!!! Surely my husband, dog an I will return soon!

Time-travel to the 80ties (ok maybe 90ties) - overpriced and outdated - decor does not fit together - restaurant terribly overpriced - hotel did make one welcome - location is great - nice views and walking on the beach / cliffs
