Catching a Rainbow

Leaving Lannion, taking the D786 eastwards towards Tréguier, one comes to the lovely restaurant of La Ville Blanche.

La Ville Blanche is an unassuming building, named after the village in which it is situated. It could mistakenly be passed-by as one travels further up the road to the pink granite coast…but that would be a great mistake.

The restaurant of Jean-Yves Jaguin, is a gourmets delight, and is certainly not to be missed as one wends ones way through the beguiling region of Trégor, in Northern Brittany.

Set back a hundred yards from the road, partly hidden by immature trees, one finds the restaurant of La Ville Blanche. Originally it was the Jaguins family home, as well as business having been run as a shop and restaurant run by Jean-Yves and Daniel Jaguins grandparents.
Two generations later the shop has ceased to be and become but a memory. In its stead a superb Michelin starred restaurant has been created, offering superb food with a flavour redolent of Brittany.

Brittany is a land of myth and of legend; it is a region of rugged shorelines interspersed with tranquil bays and a myriad of islets. Its coastline is indicative of its food - bright, vibrant and never far removed from the sea.
Large succulent lobsters, crawfish and langoustines, tender clams, crab the size of dinner plates, mouth-watering scallops and the ever-present jewels in the crown, mussels.

Brittany’s hinterland is green with verdant lush grass leading down to the vast salt flats of the south, it is a region of farms, it is a region of food but above all it is a region of fealty.

All this can be expressed in three words, one place and a multitude of dreams…La Ville Blanche.
Whether it is roast monkfish served with a puree of Coco de Paimpol or local crab served with blé noir pancakes, Breton lobster, roasted in the oven with slightly salted butter or fried abalone with potato purée, sea beans and chestnuts, they all have a taste evocative of Brittany.
