Alban's recipes

Alban is the Chief of the Hotel/restaurant le Roi Gradlhon. Located in Audierne and specializes in preparing seafood, the Hotel enjoys a spectacular view of the Raz de Sein and direct access to the beach. The cuisine is largely inspired by the Ocean, but on the menu only line seabass, fished in le Raz de Sein by hook and line fishermen, are proposed.

Very sensitive to the approach of Seychellois liners, seduced by the quality of fish caught in the Seychelles and driven by curiosity to discover new flavors, the team of Le Roi Gradlhon and especially the chief, Alban, agreed to cook the Bourgeois and give us the secret of special recipes particularly suited to this fabulous fish.
