Bar-Restaurant on the Ile de Groix: discover «Les Garçons du Port» at Ty Mad

Where is the Ty Mad bar-restaurant located and what is its unique setting?

An address in the heart of Port Tudy, facing the sea

The bar-restaurant Les Garçons du Port, part of the Ty Mad hotel, is located in Port Tudy on the Ile de Groix. To be more precise, it directly overlooks the Port Tudy wet dock. This position, facing the port, offers a panoramic view of the boats, the activity in the port, the ballet of pleasure boats, the sea and the daily comings and goings of visitors.

The Ty Mad, our restaurant de Groix, The restaurant, with its white silhouette, overlooks the marina. From the terrace or inside the restaurant, the view of the harbour is unobstructed; in summer, the terrace is sheltered by an authentic boat sail to enjoy the open air. In winter, the ambience from inside or by the fire extends the comfort of an intimate setting, while maintaining the visual link with the outside.

Between a bustling port and a haven of serenity

The setting of the bar-restaurant is deeply rooted in its maritime environment. Port Tudy is the island's main port, the arrival point for boats from the mainland, making it a natural passageway, full of life, but also steeped in history and light. The hotel and restaurant take full advantage of this: you can feel the sea breeze, the lapping of the water, the colours of the Atlantic or the roadstead depending on the weather, and the moods that change with the hours - at sunrise, at sunset, under grey or blue skies. All these sensations are captured by the wide windows, terraces, glass roof or facade overlooking the port.

Ty Mad and Les Garçons du Port offer a contrast between the bustle of the port and the calm, comfort and intimacy of the interior. The tree-lined garden, inner courtyard, lounge areas and sheltered terraces allow visitors to detach themselves from the hustle and bustle of the port while admiring it. In winter, the fireplace adds a warm touch, reinforcing the feeling of a cosy refuge.
