Perched atop the cliffs of Dinard, facing the shifting immensity of the Prieuré Bay, Villa Haute Guais cultivates the rare art of word-of-mouth addresses. Behind its Belle Époque façade, this exceptional residence now hosts a Table d’Hôtes with a unique soul, driven by Chef Rémi Ledauphin’s sensitive and radiant cuisine.
Here, luxury lies in the details, in the time taken, in the sincerity of a hand-served dish. More than a dinner, it is an interlude, almost a ritual, to be experienced as dusk falls.
Rémi Ledauphin Curates Villa Haute Guais’ Menus with Unostentatious Elegance
Since August 2024, Rémi Ledauphin has curated the menus of Villa Haute Guais with unostentatious elegance. After seven years alongside Julien Hennote at the Michelin-starred restaurant Le Pourquoi Pas at Hotel Castelbrac, the chef here chooses a more intimate, and also freer, playground. **His cuisine tells the story of Brittany with softness, precision, and poetry.**
Freshly arrived seafood, vegetables from the garden cultivated beneath the house windows, herbs picked at the last moment: each plate celebrates the raw ingredient, respected and never disguised. “Each dish is a poem, a journey for the senses,” the chef confides. A definition that resonates in this seasonal cuisine, where marine flavours naturally converse with the earth’s generosity.
Surrounded by passionate local producers, Rémi Ledauphin composes a unique menu each evening, inspired by the morning’s arrivals and the mood of the day. A vibrant, instinctive cuisine that prioritises emotion over display.
A Spectacular Sea View
The Villa Haute Guais’ light-filled, through-dining room offers a spectacular sea view. A truly living postcard, it has retained its grand period Table d’Hôtes, around which guests gather in a spirit of open sharing. **In summer, dinner extends outdoors, facing the setting sun, when the sky is tinged with deep pinks and blues.**
Between the kitchen and the dining room, Rémi Ledauphin moves around, converses, and serves his own dishes. A rare proximity that transforms the meal into a conversation, and the table into a meeting place.
Sophie Bannier, Director of Operations for the Soul Haven group, summarises:
Imagine a warm and creative table where marine flavours blend with those from the kitchen garden.
A Confidential Table, Reserved for Connoisseurs
Open only in the evenings and by reservation, the Table d’Hôtes at Villa Haute Guais caters to aesthetes, lovers of refined taste, and those who prefer authenticity over spectacle. Here, Brittany is recounted without artifice, with elegance and generosity, in a timeless setting. **A precious address, to be savoured slowly, like a well-kept secret.**
