The story

Le Metro Brest | Traditional Italian Cooking with Mediterranean Flair

The chef and the kitchen

At Le Metro in Brest, chef Rita Canaris channels her Sicilian upbringing into every plate of Italian cooking. Her kitchen operates entirely in-house, transforming seasonal produce into fresh pasta and regional specialties. A 12.5 score from Gault&Millau recognizes how she balances established techniques with deliberate creativity.

Seasonal plates and house creations

Diners regularly order the roasted hake back, served alongside a briny reduction that highlights the fish’s natural sweetness. The Italian kitchen maintains strict sourcing standards, turning market vegetables into handmade pasta dishes. A signature Bellomo Gin features subtle garden pea notes, crafted specifically for pre-dinner aperitifs.

Dining room and service

Giuseppe manages the front of house, setting a relaxed pace that complements the culinary program. Live saxophone melodies occasionally drift through the dining room during evening service. The space itself merges classic European textures with contemporary lighting to keep the environment comfortable.
