About
Le Paris-Brest is on the upper level of the Departures hall at Rennes station. This unusual location lets you sit down for a real lunch or dinner rather than settling for fast food. The space welcomes travellers and Rennes locals alike, a moment apart from the bustle of the platforms. The concept carries the culinary signature of Christian Le Squer, the Breton chef known for Le Cinq in Paris; the Rennes restaurant does not hold his Paris distinctions. Servane Pocard leads the kitchen day to day. The restaurant brings together great French tradition and the familiar flavours of Brittany: pâté en croûte, seasonal fish, Janzé poultry and market vegetables have featured on the menus. The contemporary Paris-Brest is one of the house signatures: serving this classic pastry in a station linking the two cities is a well-judged wink. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.
