Bretagne Cuisine

Galettes de Sarrasin

Buckwheat crêpes, often filled with savoury ingredients like ham, cheese, eggs, or smoked salmon. They're gluten-free and a staple of Breton cuisine. 1)

Kig ha Farz

A traditional Breton pot-au-feu dish with pork, beef, and vegetables, served with a “farz” (a buckwheat flour pudding). It's hearty and rustic. 2)

Far Breton

A dense custard-like cake with prunes or raisins, similar to flan but with a unique texture. 3)

Cotriade

A Breton fish stew made with fresh local fish, onions, potatoes, and sometimes a touch of cider. A perfect example of Brittany's maritime flavours. 4)

Palourdes Farcies

Stuffed clams baked with garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs—a seafood delicacy. 5)

Crêpes Suzette

Thin crêpes flambéed with Grand Marnier, orange zest, and butter. While originally a broader French dish, it has become a Breton specialty. 6)

Tourteaux au Naturel

Whole boiled spider crabs served simply with mayonnaise or a vinaigrette—a true taste of Brittany's coast. 7)

Artichokes with Vinaigrette

Brittany produces some of the best artichokes in France. These are steamed and served with a tangy mustard vinaigrette. 13)
