After the long walk along the beautiful Sentier des Douaniers from Ploumanac'h to Perros-Guirec along the pink granite coast, hunger had crept in. It was planned to end the walk along the beach side of Perros-Guirec although in hindsight going further (given the time and energy) to the port side would have been better for food options.
Alot of the restaurants along the beach look very similar with probably none particularly outstanding in menus or review.
Le Ker Bleu had a lot of people sitting outside and enjoying the sun, so why not?
- Soupe de poisson, croutons et rouille (€8 I think) - a slightly expensive but lovely fish soup with cheese to mix and melt through. Reinforced my view of the similarities between these soups and bouillabaisse in the south by serving it with a creamy mildly garlicky rouille to smear on the bread. The soup wasn't as good as Le Mao but still very solid;
- Moules de Bouchot a la Bretonne (andouille de Bretagne et creme) €11.5 - I was lured in by the Bretonne promise and instead should have opted for mussels the simpler way I like it, just with garlic and white wine. This was a heavy creamy version topped with pork meat that had an unusual taste to it. Later I discovered that is the taste of the andouille sausage - hard to describe but with an almost kind of mild fuel flavour. I could still eat it but didn't like it that much. Additionally the mussels themselves were very small. I think they should have been left to grow longer;
- Petit frites €3.5.
I'd try a different place next time. Nothing wrong with Le Ker Bleu but I'd been interested in trying the fish soup and other dishes elsewhere. Alternatively it does state pizzeria and some of those options sounded good too (such as the frutti di mare with St-Jacques, langoustines, moules, crevettes, cocktails de fruits de mer, olives, origan, mozzarella, crème).
