The best bars and cafés Brittany

Under the arcades of the town centre stands one of the oldest addresses in Saint-Cast. À la Belle Meunière is a local institution! The place, ultra-popular in the summer, offers teas and tasty pastries from breakfast and all day long, ideal for snack time after having taken a dip in the emerald sea of the Grande Plage. Sheltered in the dining room on bad weather days, or on the large terrace when the sun is shining, you can also choose from a wide range of ice creams or a hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream.

This bakery and pastry shop offers you fresh and authentic products every day. From the revisited mille-feuille to the sumptuous Wedding Cakes, from the most classic flavours to the most surprising flavours, let yourself be seduced by their pastries to the delight of your taste buds, thanks to the talent of pastry chef Henry Boedec.

The place also has a new lounge-terrace, where you can taste their wonders accompanied by a delicious organic tea.

If you're looking for a family bar where all generations can get together for a drink or dance on the wooden dance floor, this is the place to go. Le Marcellin - Marcel for connoisseurs - brings together regulars and tourists passing through the Rhuys peninsula to share themed evenings: blind tests, fancy dress parties... In February, the bar even plays host to BWS and its troupe of Irish musicians. As well as being a great place to have fun, it's also a cabinet of curiosities, with a wealth of bric-a-brac to contemplate!

Big brother to the Marcellin - which belongs to the same owner, Brice Bonnot - the Malvern is the only nightclub on the Rhuys peninsula. The faithful usually start the evening at Le Marcellin, then leave the wooden ship for this two-room discotheque. The first is a generalist-style room, while the second (Salle Cachot) is dedicated to electro music. There's a charge for entry and a drink is included. Several themed evenings are on offer, and VTC shuttles are also available to get you home in complete peace of mind.

After Hello Rivages in Plouharnel/Carnac, the Quiberon train station has been given a new business: Tchou Tchou. A lively café-guinguette for bon vivants, it has been brightening up evenings on the peninsula since summer 2023. On the program: good, local food on tapas boards and on the drinks menu, and entertainment that's going strong! In fact, the train isn't far away, as Tchou Tchou has set up shop in the former premises adjoining the station. You can still see the stop sign at the bar: be sure to stop in!

Nestled in the heart of the city, this place is a nugget for coffee lovers, but not only. You can enjoy it from breakfast to afternoon tea, including the famous Sunday brunch! Coffee lovers will be delighted by the selection of top-quality beans. For lunch, there's a wide range of healthy choices, including vegetarian options. And don't forget to try their homemade pastries. Futé: Kafeenn means "coffee shop" in Breton. A local and original name for a place that is just as original!

Le Vent des Iles is a restaurant. It offers traditional cuisine and has a website where you can consult their menu. The restaurant does not offer a delivery service, but you can enjoy your meals on site. Le Vent des Iles also offers a selection of drinks, from aperitifs to wines, softs and digestifs.

L'Herbe Folle is a gourmet café with a breathtaking view of the abbey. The café offers quality local products, including pastries from Corentin, Mathilde and Ty Kouign, cheese from Loïc, and Beauport apple juice and cider. You can also choose from a wide selection of homemade cold drinks and hot beverages from Maison Richard. Take advantage of this gourmet break to relax on the terrace and admire the view of the abbey.

Au p'tit Bonheur wine bar is a charming place in Guingamp where visitors can taste a selection of wines. The bar also offers on-site dining. The bar has an outdoor area where customers can sit and enjoy their drink or meal.

An eco-responsible canteen set up in the former Plouharnel railway station, Hello Rivages opened its doors in December 2021. Julie and Magali are at the helm of this welcoming third place, whose concept won the 2021 call for projects of the 1001 stations program (which supports innovative projects), and welcome you in good spirits around inventive home cooking that respects the seasonal nature of products, which is accompanied by cultural and festive events, workshops, apéro-projection or apéro-concert, for joyful and gourmet moments.

Just a stone's throw from Guidel's marina and the Bas-Pouldu beach (ideal for young children), where the Laïta river meets the ocean, there are a number of restaurants to satisfy the hungry (and thirsty). Among them, O'Roof, the only representative of the area on the other side of the Channel. This Irish pub, with its beautiful terrace, its outside counters and its warm and typical decoration welcomes you for a pint, a burger, a pizza, or all three at the same time! To be enjoyed on the spot or to take away. And on football evenings, there's a match broadcast!

La Raskette is a restaurant, a nightclub and a micro-concert hall all rolled into one! Situated on the commercial port, La Raskette is one of Brest's rare night bars, open all week until 3am, to delight late-nighters with food and drink available until 2am! You'll find concerts and live music on "Brest's smallest stage", as well as themed evenings. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. The menu features top-quality cuisine, dishes for sharing and delicious pizzas, which are just what you need at the end of the evening. As for drinks: cocktails, draught beers, wines: you shouldn't go thirsty!
