The best grocery stores Brittany

Located on the road to Tréfléan, about 300 metres on the left, "les jardins du Clérigo" will offer you local and seasonal produce. Crunchy salads, vegetables for your "homemade" soups, apples, dairy products (whether good butter or yoghurts), pancakes, bread and regional fruits await you. In the same place, the participative grocery store Le ClériGASE, recently revitalized by a group of enthusiasts and governed by an associative and collegial network, offers you short circuit, local and organic products.

With Gaspartine, Christophe has put into practice an idea that had been germinating for a long time: to make quality, fresh and organic produce accessible in a neighborhood grocery store. His credo: taste above all else and a variety of prices to suit all budgets. Fruits and vegetables from local producers compete for space on the stalls. The cupboards are home to local beers, and the revamped crates to natural or organic wines. Cheeses, yoghurts, dried foods and a selection of bulk hygiene products are also available. Flour comes from Poligné, honey from Rennes and coffee from La Bouëxière. Christophe regularly renews his products as he discovers new ones. All with a very friendly welcome.

Artisanal, family and Breton cannery: this is how Pikoù Panez presents itself. It is the alliance between a pastry chef and a saleswoman, with a common love and interest for natural products and a strong ecological approach. Julien and Delphine only work with local and seasonal products: spreads, caramels, condiments, soups, spreads and sauces, there is something for everyone! Why not visit them and start with a discovery basket? You can also order directly on their website.

Whether you're here for a few days or a few weeks, this boutique is the place to go to find the region's finest products. A veritable Ali Baba's cave, you'll find a complete cellar with hundreds of references of local beers and Breton spirits, as well as a wide selection of wines, ciders, liqueurs and more. And to accompany it all, you'll find the finest local sweet and savoury treats. Seasonal flowers, jewelry by local designers, decorative objects, gifts... you're sure to find what you're looking for!

If your steps take you to Tregastel, you absolutely need to visit Sandrine Coïc's store, which is a throne behind its "bilig" (patties plate). The store is decorated in a charming way, old time. If you have a small creux, the patronne will prepare a delicious massive-cheese cake or a tasty caramel crepe with salty butter. But you can also benefit from homemade specialities, galette to algae or kouigns (apples doughnuts). The shop contains many other resources. You can also prepare very original aperitifs trays if you receive your friends. However, you will leave the arms of Breton specialities, cider, jams or preserves from Scarlette the Corre. In short, a dangerous store for the greedy!

An orchard of 12 hectares, 7 000 apple trees and 14 varieties of apples. A biological conduct of production (Ecocert), from apple to cider. The Cider de le Baie welcomes you for a beautiful visit in three stages: first, the visit of the orchard and its ecosystem (depending on the seasons you will meet the chickadee and its nesting boxes, the bat and its reposoirs…), then that of the cider from the press to the cellar, then the long stage of the tasting. In the summer you can come and enjoy your family or groups (the room can accommodate 60 people) and enjoy delicious Breton pancakes accompanied by a bolée of cider or apple juice. The ideal opportunity to take forces before visiting the surroundings rich in sights and landscapes or on the return of the beach. A very nice and pleasant stop that breathes nature. It is frankly difficult not to succumb to temptation: raw cider, soft cider (regularly médaillés at the regional competition of cider in Brittany), apple apple cider, perry, cider jam, apple jelly… You will leave the arms loaded with greedy memories and sweets.

The discreet place is located behind the superb church of Pleyben, this tourist crossroads. But what could be more difficult than finding good produce when criss-crossing the countryside?

Here you'll find all the basic products you need, even if you're just passing through, staying at a campsite, gîte or motorhome. A small, friendly café and terrace await you.

Ideal to bring back some sweets from your stay in Morbihan or simply to please yourself without delay, La Biscuiterie de Kerlann offers you no less than forty references of pure butter cookies (plain, chocolate or fruit filled), but also the famous kouign-amann, which defies all good resolutions.

Imagine a store on a human scale where you can do all your weekly shopping, from food to hygiene to drugstore, in the right size and without superfluous packaging? Many have dreamed of it, the Grand Marché Vrac has done it!

Shopping "day by day" for fair consumption. A pioneer in the zero-waste lifestyle, this anti-waste grocery store, run by Coralie, offers you everyday products on demand, without packaging. It's up to you to bring your own jars, bottles or storage boxes!

The concept born in Mélesse has come a long way. Created in 2008, Nous anti-gaspi is the first of its kind to offer supermarket rejects at knock-down prices (on average 20% cheaper): fruit, vegetables, meat, beauty products, cleaning products... In short, a bent product, stained packaging, poorly-printed packaging, or a product that's close to its sell-by date will still be perfectly consumable! So when you consider that an average of 30 kg of products are wasted every year by the French, it's a good idea to try and do something about it... The good news: since 2022, the brand has also been present in Rennes city center, in addition to its 28 other outlets.

At the entrance to Châteaubourg, stop off at this delicatessen that doubles as a tearoom and boutique for local designers. It's a great place to pick up great products - boudin à tartiner from Maison Brielle, sardines from Perle des Dieux, cookies from Gaël Pâtisserie - or find a unique gift idea like Demisel's recycled leather jewelry. Drink tea, read a book, play a board game or have lunch - there's plenty to do in this friendly place run by Emilie and her team. In fine weather, the Cour des Artistes is a marvel to behold.

Lydie welcomes you to her delicatessen, opened in 2021, located in the heart of Louvigné-du-Désert. As its name so aptly suggests, the store offers mainly local products from Brittany and Normandy. The wooden shelves are overflowing with delicacies: farmhouse cider from Ferme de la Justais, organic beers from Brasserie de la Paumell, squid ink tagliatelle from Maison Hermine, sardines from Pointe de Penmarc'h, caramels and Breizhinade spreads. And here's a great idea: leave with galettes and crêpes made on site!

The workshop also prepares stuffed shellfish (clams, mussels, scallops). The farm also produces organic eggs, fruit and vegetables. The stall offers home-made jams, fruit juices and other local products (beers, ciders, rusks, pasta, etc.). An atypical place you'll love to discover.

The boulevard de la Duchesse Anne has been adorned with a new address to delight local epicureans.

We're delighted to find a new work by Odorico on the floor. On the grocery side, a wide selection of products awaits you: spreads, spices, cookies, pasta, bulk legumes... and even non-alcoholic wine. There's also a tea room where you can enjoy seasonal dishes at lunchtime, and sweet treats from Sens patisserie, accompanied by a good cup of coffee from Castel's brûlerie. A truly charming address!

A 100% artisanal, 100% Italian grocery, caterer and bar, this is in a nutshell the profile of Auguri Alimentari - translate lucky charm - which opened its doors in 2020 in Vannes. Since then, Nicolas Sfintescu and Cécile Helleu (restaurant L'Amarré), in association with Parisian boutique Paisano Alimentari "to source the products", have been offering a gustatory voyage to the heart of Italy. Charcuterie, cheeses, fresh pasta, dried pasta, preserves, freshly-made pizzas, hot focaccia sandwiches, homemade pastaboxes - Italy comes to us.

Welcome to l'épicerie de Châteaubriand, an ode to French gourmet products. A change of direction for the former manager of Maison de Joséphine, who swaps the cobblestones of Saint-Melaine for the Saint-Germain footbridge. Delphine welcomes us among her lovely finds (babas from Saint-Malo, mead from North Mead in Saint-Aubin d'Aubigné, cornichons from Maison Marc, charcuterie from Maison Brielle near Vitré...). Let your curiosity lead you to the back of the delightful red-brick patio dedicated to fresh produce.

In the village of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier, this small grocery store is run by Anna and her son. You can find fruits and vegetables as in a classic grocery store but also regional products. Obviously, these are the ones that attracted us: Baronnys teas, Breiz'île arranged rums (special mention to the one with strawberries from Plougastel), Félix coffees, scallop rillettes with Cambava from Kerbriant, Breton shortbread from Le Guen cookie factory, among other products from other French regions.

This little delicatessen celebrated its 5th birthday! Born of a love of good produce and an awareness of eating well for an immediate effect on our health, Ti Grains is a well-established address in Rennes. Small indeed, but the boutique boasts a wide selection of everyday products carefully selected by Johanna and Léo, who both come from the world of fair trade. Their commitment is fourfold: local, zero waste, fair trade and organic. The Ti Grains website lets you shop by click'n collect and order baskets of organic fruit and vegetables.

Committed to organic pork and local sales for decades, the Piel family has had a farm store for several years now. Thanks to their success, a farmer's market is now held in front of the store every Saturday morning, adding to the very attractive collection of local products. As well as charcuterie prepared on site, the farm also makes preserves to savor: cassoulet, sauerkraut and sausage-lentils. A true landmark for gourmets committed to a locavore approach. Quite simply, an address to be savored!

Cheeses, cold cuts, ciders, wines: you will have understood, there is plenty to enjoy. The dinner, aperitif or end-of-meal platters are to die for and the cheeses are varied (truffle tomme, Val de Jou, Cailladou, farmhouse Saint-Nectaire...) and of great quality. We like this store which combines good products, gustatory discoveries linked to local producers and very high quality groceries. For dinner, aperitif or simply for a small snack, don't resist! It's beautiful, good and above all so tasty.

O'VINS AROMES is a delicatessen based in Orgères. Sonia and Benoit, who come from families of shopkeepers and farmers, opened the store with the aim of reviving the traditions of their grandparents. They meticulously select the artisanal products they like, to promote local know-how and create a place for sharing and exchange. Here, the history of each producer is brought to the fore, in a spirit of conviviality and transmission of knowledge. O'VINS AROMES is much more than a grocery store, it's a true tribute to the roots of its founders.

Aux Idées Gourmandes is a delicatessen offering a selection of high-quality products. This family-run business makes a point of selecting local, quality products.
