The best restaurants Paimpol

In Paimpol, you will live with memories of cod fishing in Iceland during campaigns that led to many shipwrecks, but were so lucrative for survivors. L'Islandais is found in a house that belonged to one of the fishermen of this glorious period. Today the very pleasant dining rooms which are panelled and decorated in marine style or the terrace, which is very attractive in summer, welcome you for a great time. Here you have a varied choice: platters of seafood and mussels, wheat pancakes, buckwheat galettes and other local delicacies are available so make a choice. The Iceland styled homemade smoked salmon and blinis will make your mouth water. For the rest you have to choose between land and sea delicacies. Beef filets in Rossini style will satisfy some people while fried abalone and scallops will delight others. After a dessert that matches perfectly with the previous dishes, you will go back to the quay as you dream of a basin filled with schooners from Iceland.

The port of Paimpol is lovely, typical and animated but do not let yourself be hypnotized by all of these when it is time to eat. Walk about a hundred metres along Huit-Patriotes street and you will easily find this creperie- Grill whose sign post displays Bretons in caps and costume having a real Sabbath around the production of local specialities like wheat and buckwheat pancakes. One of these, a complete (egg, ham, cheese) is prepared in pastry, but you will be tempted more by the sea through scallops skewers, prepared with homemade sauce or grilled prawn skewer with Guérande salt. Grilled lamb or beef pieces are also on the programme. For dessert, homemade salted butter caramel pancake is essential. Bon appétit.

This is the creperie of city centre, set on the main square parallel to the port. It is in a warm atmosphere that Soizic and Christopher and their team welcome you to offer their specialties to be discovered in the dining room or on the large sunny terrace for 60 guests. Kerloury (Guémené andouille sausage, mushrooms, mustard cream) and Saint-Rion (scallops shells with vegetables, salad) for galettes, Kerarzic (caramel and its vanilla ice-cream) and for pancakes among others, to be accompanied by a small traditional Paimpol cider. The creperie also offers various salads and mussels from Paimpol (from May to October) and various dishes. Typical of a Breton brasserie, be careful for it is slightly noisy especially weekdays at lunchtime since is always crowded. Quick service given the number of covers.

We feel really good in this creperie opposite the port! Well-seated on the terrace or inside, you enjoy good galette and crepe copiously garnished and at any time in season. The galettes bear island's soft names which transport you a little more far from the coasts. As for a menu, we particularly recommend the Île à bois, a pancake andouille-Emmental-egg or the Île de Taveeg with its tasty goats'cheese pairing, homemade pear caramel and 5 peppers. The rustic setting, the friendly and smiling service do not spoil anything of the place's authentic character. Highly-prized during market days (Tuesday morning).

Snack bar brasserie which does not pay a mine, ideally located on Paimpol harbour, on wooden tables and caillebottis. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The inescapable ones: Salads (Caesar, Nordic, Chèvre, Vegetables) and Toast (Ocean, Italian, Cheese, Mountain) at 7,50 €, Oak at 4 € and Burgers at 6 or 7 €. Grill style dishes vary according to the market and the chef's desires, for example of beef and shot, place net and risotto with white butter for much less than € 10. There is room and a few euros for a dessert that will not disappoint you like a chocolate gourmand or mattresses coffee. Excellent value for money and excellent value for money. You may come back in the evening with a cocktail.
