The Bistro de la Tour is one of Quimperle's finer small restaurants. Tucked away in a small street off the market square, it has a couple of isolated outdoor tables, but the inside is much livelier, with an eclectic collection of very good wine bottles and old box brownie cameras. The food was excellent: mackerel à la plancha was fresh, light and not at all oily. A pork chop, slow-cooked and then spit roasted was deliciously tender and tasty even winning over my wife who is normally not a big fan of pork. The wine list is impressive for its focus on Burgundy - lots of Burgundy! (And only three lonely bottles of Bordeaux.) Everything is there, from Romanée Conti and La Tâche to a range of much cheaper non-appellation wines made by négociants from the same vineyards and grapes that go into the top appellations; we had a simple Chardonnay that tasted every bit as good as a top Meursault. Round that off with friendly service and good prices, and you have a recipe for a very enjoyable evening!
