About
A few steps from the historic heart of Rennes, La Table du Balthazar combines the refinement of a five-star hotel with contemporary cooking based on Breton produce. The green patio, attentive welcome and seasonal plates offer an intimate urban break. La Table du Balthazar holds a special place in Rennes: the restaurant belongs to a luxury hotel but also welcomes food lovers from the city. Close to the shopping streets, its indoor spaces and patio make a welcome break from the bustle outside. It is a place you choose as much for the atmosphere and the welcome as for the food. The cooking is contemporary French, with carefully prepared Breton produce, precise sauces and elegant presentation. Chef Benjamin Jourdren is behind the house’s culinary identity. In fine weather, the patio adds a green, peaceful note that sets the restaurant apart from purely urban ones, though an outdoor table cannot be guaranteed without confirmation. The Breton roots show in the choice of meat, fish, vegetables and craftspeople rather than in folk décor. The Musée des Beaux-Arts, Place de la République and the historic buildings are close by, making it easy to build a half day in the centre around a good meal. If you come by car, check the nearby car parks.
