Shocked this has a Michelin star. No creativity and flat flavors. Truffle gravy to cover up an otherwise flavorless millefeuille, for example. Sadly, the kitchen was not skilled enough to adapt to a guest in our group with a shellfish allergy, which we previewed two weeks in advance. The first two courses of the Plaisir menu for him were sad alternatives (cauliflower duplicating the first dish and then mashed potatoes instead of fish). When I complained to the waitress that we were being served a piece of fish and our companion being asked to eat a (side dish) of mashed potatoes—at least offer a protein or serve the fish with a different non-shellfish sauce!—she looked at us like we were crazy, as if a bowl of mashed potatoes is a perfect alternative to a fish course. After going in circles for MINUTES, she agreed to ask the chef to serve fish without the sauce. The main dish was a tough piece of pork that reminded me of a slice of smoked ham from the grocery.
Worst of all, after a meal that didn’t meet Michelin quality, the waitress was rude enough to ask for a tip—for service that none of us found worthy of it.
Perhaps this is the best of what is available in Brest, but I recommend taking the train to Paris for cooking deserving a star.
