In Condé Nast Traveler's February issue, writer Lee Aitken unveils France's best-kept secret: "when natives in the know need respite from métro, boulot, dodo, they escape to dozens of unhurried, unsullied little islands just off their country's coast." Here, three of her favorite restaurants from Belle-Île:
- Sauzon's restaurant of the moment is Roz Avel (2-97-31-61-48; entrées, $26-$40)
- Café de la Cale has wonderful people-watching and a delicious fish soup in a tureen big enough to feed a family (2-97-31-65-74; prix fixe, $55)
- L'Annexe, in Le Palais, serves local lamb (2-97-31-81-53; entrées, $20-$36)
