  • 1. Breizh Café

    $

    Not all crêpes are created equal, and you'll taste the difference at Bertrand Larcher's original Cancale flagship (his Paris outpost is the city's go-to crêperie). Traditional crispy buckwheat galettes are given a modern gourmet twist with the best locally sourced ingredients—organic eggs and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, local oysters and seafood, free-range meats, smoked or seaweed butter from the St-Malo–based dairy superstar Jean-Yves Bordier—and the tender white-flour dessert crêpes are to die for. Do not say no to the salted-caramel version, a world-famous recipe launched in Brittany, or the classic crêpe suzette served flambéed. Include a top-notch cider (for a real treat, try an apple or pear version from Eric Bordelet), and you'll see what makes a Breton crêpe the great French fast food.

  • 2. Creperie Ouzh-Taol

    $

    When in Rennes, don't miss the chance to do what the natives do: feast on authentic Breton crêpes. For your main course, savory galettes made with buckwheat flour come with a huge range of fillings, from egg and sausage to tiny shrimps and mussels. There are also vegetarian options, like spinach and goat cheese. For dessert, don't skimp on delicious fruit jam or salted caramel-filled crêpe, or the queen herself, the crêpe Suzette—doused with Grand Marnier and set aflame at your table. Wash it all down with a nice dry artisanal Breton cider.

  • 3. Creperie Saint-Georges

    $

    What better setting than this historic half-timbered building, just steps from the cathedral, for a taste of authentic Breton cuisine at its best? This unusually snazzy crêperie (forget the lace curtains and wooden tables) also has an outdoor terrace and one of the city's more inventive menus, where you'll choose from a list of galettes—all named George—like blue cheese, pear, speck ham, and crème fraîche; or beef carpaccio, mozzarella, tomato tapenade, Parmesan, and potatoes with wasabi ice cream. The dessert crepes are no less inventive; try the Chamallow, with salted caramel, homemade marshmallows, bourbon-infused vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream. There's also a great selection of artisanal ciders, like the rosé version, Cidre de Brocéliande.

  • 4. Ima

    $$$$

    Five years in a top Tokyo kitchen transformed Chef Julien Lemarié's scintillating, pared-down cuisine, for which he quickly won a Michelin star. Using only local products—as sustainably sourced as possible—the chef crafts stunning plates, featuring line-caught fish and high-quality meats with glorious vegetable accompaniments served in an elegant, streamlined restaurant that features natural materials: wood, waxed concrete, and ceramic. The chef's romance with Japanese cuisine is front-and-center at his new restaurant next door, Imayoko, specializing in donburi and izakaya-style dishes to share paired with artisanal sake.

  • 5. Le Flaveur

    $$

    Behind the marina on a quiet street just far enough from the bustle of the port, this petite duplex restaurant is an absolute favorite in town. This is seasonal food at its best, and the seafood-centric menus are revised daily according to the morning catch and whatever vegetables are pulled from the garden—even the bread is homemade. Witness the artistic dishes parading from the kitchen, each more beautiful than the next. It's popular with locals and the vacation crowd, so it's a good idea to reserve ahead.

  • 6. Lulu Rouget

    $$$

    Market-fresh cuisine, industrial-chic decor with elegant touches of velvet and polished wood, and an adventurous wine list all help make this Michelin-starred bistro a standout on Nantes's culinary roadmap. Well-crafted dishes forego French fussiness in favor of innovative combinations like scallops with tamarind and roasted-red-pepper puree, seared monkfish with wild l'ail d'ours (French garlic) pesto, or succulent spring veal accompanied by tiny roasted veggies. The four, five, or six-course menus (€75, €95, €115) are your only option at dinner, an assurance of the freshest ingredients, though food preferences are honored. Don't let the lackluster area put you off, as this is a Nantes culinary benchmark.

  • 7. Pickles

    $$$

    At the hottest gastro-bistro in Nantes, Dominic Quirke, a young English chef, who worked in some of Paris's top kitchens before striking out on his own, combines a sophisticated menu featuring the best of the local producers with a stellar list of natural wines. Locals know a great thing when they taste it, and that's why they come here for Nantes veal with tartare of Breton langoustine; Sologne lamb with grilled polenta, beet pickles, and glacéed vegetables; and roast sea bass with fennel risotto and capers with creamed zucchini. A pleasant, unpretentious ambience and a roster of talented visiting chefs keep the bistro's many regulars on their toes. At €55, the five-course tasting menu is a steal.

  • 8. Ar Iniz

    $$$

    When in St-Malo, what could be more fitting than a seafood meal overlooking the ocean? When dining at this gently priced, fish-centric restaurant and bar set in a seaside hotel, opt for copious plates of langoustine, shrimps, oysters, and bulots (sea snails), or choose a fixed-price menu that highlights what the kitchen does best: fresh fish and lots of veggies. You can catch the sunset over the water from the large outdoor terrace or take a walk on the promenade after a satisfying meal. Popular with locals, it's a good idea to reserve a table ahead of time.

  • 9. Au Vieux Quimper

    $

    In a town where the crêpe is king, Au Vieux Quimper promises an authentic dining experience in a charming rustic setting. Savory buckwheat galettes are exactly as they should be: nicely crisped on the edges and generously filled with quality versions of the classic egg and ham, seafood, or cheese and plenty of other combos. The dessert crêpes are especially yummy (do not miss the salted caramel). Accompany your crêpes with a dry or sweet local artisanal cider served in traditional earthenware cups and you'll have a time-honored Breton experience.

  • 10. Le Galopin

    $

    Everybody loves an authentic French brasserie, but very few of these establishments strive to maintain a quality worthy of their traditional cachet; happily, Le Galopin is one of them. The vintage murals, wood paneling, and plush banquettes are the perfect backdrop for all those traditional French favorites: a heaping plate of oysters followed by steak or fish tartare, Breton lobster, grilled gambas shrimp, or marinated Wagyu beef. Spectacular desserts include all the classics like baba au rhum, crème brûlée, or Breton sablée, a local specialty. For a top-notch meal that won't break the bank, this Rennes institution is a good choice.

  • 11. Salon de Thé La Maison du Sarrasin

    $

    Part of the Breizh Café crêperie empire, this chic little tearoom is where you can enjoy truly gourmet creations, all made from buckwheat, with a Japanese inflection. Try artisanal Breton ham with comté cheese, beurre Bordier, candied onions, and a side of seaweed pickles. Or if you prefer a savory pie, you'll find versions like artichoke, goat cheese, and zucchini with a buckwheat crust on the daily menu. Pastry chef Mayumi Okusa's exceptionally delicate dessert crêpes are a must; options include fresh strawberries and yuzu cream; salted caramel; or chestnut cream with vanilla mousse, candied chestnuts, and meringue. If you're inspired, stop into La Maison du Sarrasin next door to shop the best of Brittany's culinary delights.
