Restaurant in Rochefort-en-Terre, France
Two-time Bib Gourmand. Book before peak season.
Maison Cachée holds the Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2024 and 2025 — the only Michelin-recognised table in Rochefort-en-Terre. At a €€ price point with a 4.7 Google rating across 517 reviews, it is the clearest value call in the village. Book ahead for summer; shoulder season offers the same kitchen with an easier reservation.
Yes — and if you have already visited once, it is worth going back. Maison Cachée has held the Michelin Bib Gourmand in both 2024 and 2025, which in practical terms means Michelin's inspectors rate it as delivering genuinely good cooking at a price that does not require justification. At a €€ price point in one of Brittany's most-visited medieval villages, it sits in a category of its own in Rochefort-en-Terre: the only Michelin-recognised table in the town. A 4.7 rating across 517 Google reviews adds weight to that verdict. Book it.
Maison Cachée — translated literally as "hidden house" , occupies a historic stone address at 9 Rue Haute Candre in the heart of the village. The name signals what the space delivers: a room that does not announce itself loudly. For first-time visitors the setting is part of the draw. For returning guests, it is the cooking from Sarah Alba and Alban Chartron that earns a second trip. The dining room is compact by design, which means the atmosphere is close and the service is personal, but it also means seat availability is limited. Do not assume you can walk in on a Saturday evening in summer because the village is busy and the room fills.
If you dined here before and are wondering what warrants a return, the answer is in the consistency. Back-to-back Bib Gourmand recognition is not handed out for a single inspired season. It reflects a kitchen that holds its standard across multiple inspection cycles. For a regular, that reliability is the point: you know what tier of cooking you are getting, and the €€ price means you are not spending at a level that demands a special occasion to justify it.
This is the practical question worth asking before you commit to a visit, particularly if you are staying outside the village or planning a day trip from somewhere along the Gulf of Morbihan. The short answer: Maison Cachée is a sit-down experience, and its value is tied to the room, not to the packaging. Modern cuisine at this level is typically about plate composition and temperature, which means takeout or delivery is almost certainly not part of the offer here, and it would not serve the food well if it were. There is no website or phone number in the public record to confirm delivery options, so treat this as a dine-in proposition and plan accordingly. If your schedule makes a full sit-down meal difficult during your stay in Rochefort-en-Terre, the village has other options. See our full Rochefort-en-Terre restaurants guide for alternatives, including L'Ancolie.
Rochefort-en-Terre pulls significant tourist traffic in July and August. The village is one of the most photographed in Brittany, which means peak summer weekends bring visitor volumes that affect every table in town. For Maison Cachée specifically, the implication is clear: book further ahead for summer dates than you would at a comparable village restaurant elsewhere. Shoulder season , May, June, September, early October , gives you the village with less pressure on reservations and a more relaxed pace inside the room. Lunch mid-week in those months is the easiest table to secure and often the leading way to experience a Bib Gourmand kitchen without the noise level that a full evening service in high season can bring. If summer is your only window, book as soon as your dates are fixed.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which reflects the price tier and the village's non-metropolitan location. That said, "easy" is relative in peak season for a small room with Michelin recognition. No online booking platform or phone number is currently confirmed in the public record, so the most reliable approach is to contact the restaurant directly when you arrive in the region or to check for reservation options through a French dining platform. Hours are not published here , confirm before you travel. For where to stay nearby, see our full Rochefort-en-Terre hotels guide.

For context on where a Bib Gourmand sits in France's recognised dining tier, consider what Michelin-starred destinations in other French regions charge for a comparable level of attention. Flocons de Sel in Megève, Mirazur in Menton, and Bras in Laguiole operate at starred level with prices to match. A Bib Gourmand means Michelin is directing you to something it considers a strong value proposition , good cooking without the starred price tag. In a village of this size, that is a meaningful credential. Other decorated French tables worth knowing at different price tiers include Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern, Troisgros in Ouches, AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille, Assiette Champenoise in Reims, Au Crocodile in Strasbourg, and Paul Bocuse in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or. For international modern cuisine at the leading of the market, Frantzén in Stockholm and FZN by Björn Frantzén in Dubai represent a different scale of ambition and spend. Maison Cachée is not competing in that bracket , and that is precisely why it is worth knowing about.

At €€, it is one of the easiest value calls in the region. Two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards confirm the kitchen is delivering above its price tier. If you are comparing it to starred restaurants like Mirazur or Alléno Paris, you are not in the same category of experience , but at €€ you are not paying for one. For what it is, the price-to-quality ratio is sound.
Menu structure is not confirmed in the public record. What is confirmed is Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, which typically reflects a kitchen producing composed, considered dishes rather than simple bistro plates. If a tasting format is available, the backing of two Bib Gourmand cycles gives it credibility at this price tier. Confirm directly with the restaurant before your visit.
For summer weekends in July and August, book as soon as your dates are set , the combination of a small room and a Michelin-recognised address in a heavily visited village makes availability tight. For shoulder season (May, June, September), a week or two ahead is likely sufficient. Mid-week lunch is the easiest slot to secure year-round.
No dress code is specified. At a €€ Bib Gourmand restaurant in a Breton village, smart casual is appropriate and almost certainly sufficient. You do not need to dress for a starred occasion, but this is a step above a crêperie. When in doubt, neat casual works.
No confirmed dietary policy is available in the public record. With a small kitchen and a set style of cooking, restrictions are leading communicated at the time of booking rather than on arrival. Contact the restaurant directly to confirm what can be accommodated before you commit to the table.

How Maison Cachée stacks up against the competition.
check the venue's official channels before booking — at the €€ price point with a focused modern cuisine format, kitchens at this level typically accommodate common dietary needs when given advance notice. Maison Cachée's two consecutive Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) suggest a kitchen operating with consistent standards, which usually means the flexibility to adapt. Do not leave dietary requirements until arrival.
Maison Cachée prices at €€ and sits in a village setting in Rochefort-en-Terre, so the dress code leans relaxed rather than formal. Think neat, presentable clothing — a step above casual, but no need for a jacket or heels. The Bib Gourmand designation rewards good food at accessible prices, not formal dining ceremony.
Menu format details are not confirmed in available data, so verify directly with the restaurant. What is confirmed: Maison Cachée holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition (2024 and 2025), which Michelin awards specifically for quality cooking at moderate prices. If a tasting menu is offered at the €€ price tier, it represents strong value relative to comparable recognised restaurants in France.
Yes, at the €€ price range, Maison Cachée delivers Michelin-recognised cooking at a price point well below what starred restaurants in France charge. The Bib Gourmand is Michelin's explicit endorsement of value — two consecutive years of it (2024 and 2025) means this is not a fluke. For the quality-to-cost ratio, it compares favourably to multi-starred options like L'Ambroisie or Le Cinq, which operate at a fundamentally different price tier.
Book at least two to three weeks ahead if visiting in July or August — Rochefort-en-Terre draws heavy tourist traffic in peak summer, and a Bib Gourmand-recognised address in a small village fills faster than the easy booking rating suggests. Outside peak season, a week's notice is likely sufficient, but earlier is always safer given the limited covers a village restaurant of this type typically runs.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
