When you've had your fill of crêpes, head over to this outstanding gastronomic dining room, beautifully set in its own kitchen garden, where each dish is a small work of art. With a wonderful backstory (the restaurant opened with the help of a crowd-funding campaign), flawless presentation, and seasonal organic cuisine that incorporates local (from its own garden) and wild whenever possible, it's no mystery why a Michelin star was earned in 2019. For a comprehensive experience of this marvelous cuisine, the tasting menu is obligatory, but leave yourself at least two and half hours for the nine-course Allium menu, a steal at €80 (other menus are €32 and €55). Outdoor dining is a pleasure here, and the chef is responsive to food sensitivities.

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.

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.

Although an odd couple at first glance, the marriage of two seafood-centric cuisines—Japanese and Breton—actually makes perfect sense, especially once you've experienced the miracles of flavor that hail from the kitchen of Michelin-starred chef Raphaël-Fumio Kudaka. Imaginative, locally sourced dishes find just the right balance between French gourmandise and Japanese delicacy: lobster dumplings with pine nuts, crisp pork belly, morel, and shiitake mushrooms in a yuzu broth; langoustine, scallop, and foie gras tempura in a bonito-kombu broth; and for dessert, a luscious orange-crème mousseline, with blood-orange gelée and Brittany saffron coulis served over a melt-in-your-mouth Wasabon biscuit. Pair your meal with a natural French wine—you won't mind spending a little extra for something so far beyond the ordinary. This place is in the same building (and has the same owners) as the legendary crêpery, Breizh Café.

On a pedestrian street in the charming old city, this modern gastronomic restaurant ditches stuffiness in favor of a relaxed, contemporary approach to food. What it doesn't dispense with is seriousness in the kitchen: chef Thierry Seychelles seeks out top-quality ingredients from a wealth of local suppliers for his seasonal, meticulously presented cuisine. Start with oysters from the nearby Bay of Pénerf, cocotte of asparagus with lime hollandaise, tender foie gras–stuffed ravioli, or smoked eel with lemon confit in a parsley reduction, followed up by monkfish served with French caviar (depending on market availability and the chef's mood, of course). His take on the traditional kouign-amann pastry is made with apples and served warm with salted-caramel ice cream.

It may not be the fanciest restaurant in Nantes or the most central, but Les Chants d'Avril is where the locals go for affordable "bistronomic" fare. Murals, dark-wood paneling, and leather banquettes lend a warm, traditional look; the attention to market-driven ingredients and interesting wines, however, puts it on par with the best modern bistrôts à vin. You can be sure you're getting the freshest seasonal ingredients, as the chef offers one menu each day based on what's best at market, though he will tailor to special needs. The prices for this caliber of dining are exceptional (3-course dinner, €31.50; lunch, €19, €22.50).

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 (€65, €80, €95) 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.

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 €50, the five-course tasting menu is a steal.

On full view from her open kitchen, chef Virginie Giboire is cool and precise as she prepares a sophisticated market cuisine that earned her a Michelin star, one of the few restaurants in Rennes to garner that distinction. Everyone nowadays is doing seasonal and local, but Giboire, who trained at Paris's prestigious Ferrandi school and with superstar Thierry Marx, wields a traditional mastery in dishes that carry her unique signature: mixing wild-crafted herbs and seasonal ingredients in dishes like John Dory with spring asparagus, wild garlic, and roasted buckwheat. The vibe is low-key and friendly, and the fixed price menus—there is no à la carte—are a good value.

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.

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.

Nudging right up to the beach in Dinard's historic center, this chic Michelin-starred restaurant has both gourmet fare and fabulous water views. Chef Méril takes his inspiration from the local bounty: fresh-from-the-sea dishes, such as salty-sweet Cancale oysters, fricassee de langoustines, and trilogie de poisson noble with lobster coulis vie with Breton specialties, like deboned squab dressed in foie gras. An impressive wine list, with 450 wines and digestifs from every region imaginable, satisfies the most discerning connoisseur. In warm weather, the seaside terrace is a fine place to enjoy a frosty glass of Champagne or an apéro. If you feel inclined to linger, on-site lodging is available in six stylish rooms that come with some endearing quirks. For example, the top floor's Room 6 offers spectacular ocean vistas from the bathtub, which is smack in the center of the room.

At an airy roadside cottage with an attractive garden, Guy Guilloux turns out a range of Breton specialties. Since the chef places a special emphasis on seafood, options might include a galette stuffed with spider crab, a langoustine flan, or a brochette de coquilles St-Jacques that’s been grilled on the large hearth in his open kitchen. For dessert, indulge without guilt on the light homemade rhubarb-and-strawberry compote. The €55 fixed-price menu is a good bargain for dinner.

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 panelling, 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.

This sleek, modern dining room has managed to garner serious accolades—not to mention a Michelin star—in a town where culinary talent is in no short supply. Chef Luc Mobihan's cuisine brilliantly blends flavors to draw out the intrinsic qualities of local meat and seafood without overpowering it. Lobster-and-bacon risotto is both rich and light, and langoustine ravioli with coriander and Parmesan literally melts in the mouth. With three prix-fixe menus to choose from, diners have the pleasure of sampling a range of dishes.

Don't be fooled by the streamlined contemporary atmosphere and laid-back vibe, this is one of Nantes's best—and friendliest—seafood restaurants, specializing in the finest delicacies from the Breton coastline.

Xavier Hamon, the owner of this compact épicerie and tapas bar in Quimper's old covered market, had the novel idea of pairing delicacies from Spain and Brittany. An auspicious match, it turns out, as small plates of artisanal cured meats, like Iberico and chorizo, served à la planche with bread and spicy olive oil, go nicely with local specialties such as a velvety langoustine flan. With Spanish or French regional wines by the glass for as little as €3—and small plates starting at €4—it's a great opportunity to experiment with pairings. Drop by for lunch or a very early dinner (it closes at 7:15).
