The Roof, Restaurant on the Conleau peninsula, Vannes, France
Le Roof is a restaurant on the Conleau peninsula in Vannes, France, right on the edge of the Gulf of Morbihan. The dining room and terrace face the water directly, with large windows and a simple interior that keeps attention on the view outside.
The Conleau peninsula was originally a fishing area on the outskirts of Vannes, only later becoming a leisure destination for locals. The restaurant grew out of that setting, making use of a location that has always been tied to the sea.
Le Roof sits on the Conleau peninsula, a narrow strip of land that juts into the Gulf of Morbihan. Breton coastal cooking is present in every course, from local oysters to freshly caught langoustines.
The restaurant sits at the tip of the Conleau peninsula, outside Vannes city center, so arriving by car or bicycle is a good option. Booking in advance is a good idea, as tables fill quickly when the weather is fine.
Some seafood can be ordered in advance and prepared to take away, which works well for a picnic along the peninsula. This means the kitchen's work can be enjoyed outside the dining room itself.
