The genesis of their project
Margaux Robinet and Damien Fercoq are the faces behind Au Jardin Breton, a bar-restaurant located in Combourtillé, near Fougères. The idea of taking over this establishment was born from their shared desire to create a place of friendliness and good cuisine.
Different paths, a common vision
With a decade of experience in the restaurant industry, Damien handles the kitchen, while for Margaux, it is a true career change, having previously worked in the social sector. Together, they merge their skills to run their first successful business.
A rethought and redecorated space
After acquiring the premises long known as “Le Pigeon Blanc” and then “Ma Petite Cuisine,” the couple undertook refreshment and decoration work to provide their clients with an atmosphere that is both modern and warm.
A gourmet local cuisine
Au Jardin Breton offers a gourmet local cuisine, highlighting local products sourced within a 25 km radius. Here’s how their offering is structured:
- From Tuesday to Friday lunch: “worker” style meal options.
- On weekends: More elaborate dishes such as ceviche, tataki, and pulled pork.
- Sunday lunch: family meal atmosphere with shareable dishes at the center of the table.
An animated dining room and a friendly bar
Margaux is in charge of service in the dining room, while a bartender, Erwann Barbé, completes the team. Their goal is to develop the bar, which will be open every day except Monday, and to liven up the place with themed evenings and even a pool table for the summer.
