About

At the foot of the place des Lices, Breizh Café Rennes treats the buckwheat galette as the base of a real composition, balancing batter, filling, cooking and contrast. Buckwheat has a slightly toasted flavour that deserves better than an ordinary filling. The identity of Breizh Café, founded by Bertrand Larcher, was built on a dialogue between Brittany and Japan. It shows in some recipes, in the care given to produce and in a search for balance rather than excess. The sweet side is more than an afterthought: organic wheat crêpes let you enjoy the texture, the butter, the toppings and the desserts. Ciders and perries are a signature of the house, from dry to fruity, lively or structured; ask the team to help you compare. On place de la Trinité, the restaurant is right in the bustle of the city centre, and its large terrace is pleasant in fine weather. The Lices market, one of the city’s big events, is a good reason to visit the quarter in the morning, before the half-timbered houses, the cathedral and the Portes Mordelaises.
