About
Fezi now has a lively address at 2 rue des Carmes in Rennes, close to rue Vasselot. It has the spirit of a contemporary bistro, where a cheerful service goes with real care in the kitchen. The name, a Gallo word meaning “homemade”, sums up a way of hosting that seeks the pleasure of a well-judged plate rather than showing off. Chef Cédric Bruneau relies on the Rennes markets and a network of Breton market gardeners, fishermen, farmers and craftspeople. The produce sets the pace of the menu: carefully chosen vegetables, the catch of the day, meat cooked with restraint. Natural wines from committed winemakers, often organic or biodynamic, play a central role. You can come for lunch, with a short starter, main and dessert menu, or linger over a four or six course discovery menu. Fezi suits a lunch for two, an outing with friends or an evening when you want the cooking to tell the story of today’s Brittany. The old streets nearby lead to the central market halls and historic squares, so the meal combines easily with a walk through Rennes’ heritage, without a car once you are in the centre. Visitors who knew a previous address should use the current one on rue des Carmes.
