A Sea of....Sea food! Fresh, colourful and ready to eat! Local Specialties Impossible to visit Brittany without sampling some of the local culinary delights. We are happy to acquaint you with our favourite restaurants or have fun discovering your own. Here are some of the Breton specialities: Seafood A paradise for seafood lovers with hundreds of speciality restaurants and excellent fish counters in the supermarkets. Visit Benodet and enjoy scallops while overlooking the harbour, eat mussels on the quay at Morgat or just buy a kilo of prawns, sautee in garlic and butter and enjoy with a fresh baguette and salad - washed down with a chilled white wine.....! Crêpes The famous Breton crêpe can be bought at either local market stalls to nibble on while you shop or at hundreds of various crêperies in the region. The savoury crêpe is made from blé (buckwheat) and comes with a variety of fillings. The sweet crêpe can also be served with many varieties from a simple filling of butter and sugar to the deliciously rich creme de marron (cream of chestnut). Served with a green salad and some local cider crêpes provide a lovely, simple but truly delicious meal. Sausage Another local speciality is Andouille, a pork chitterling sausage. For those who love it you will be able to find it as a pizza topping or a filling for crêpes.  Brittany and Butter...! Kouign aman is a the spectacular Brittany buttercake - equally unkind to your hips as your arteries but absolutely worth breaking your diet for. The delicious 'gallette' biscuits made in many local factories - many of which offer tours. Don't let their plain exterior think there is anything virtuous about these butter packed offerings! Cider The traditional drink of Brittany and perfect accompagnant to the crepe there are numerous cider makers locally, many of whom work in the traditional way. During the summer months there are guided tours which allow you to visit the cider factory in Fouesnant on the South Coast - complete with tastings of course. Chocolate/Macaroons Not just a Breton speciality there are however some wonderful chocolatiers nearby. The world famous Chatillon Chocolatier in Pleyben offers a factory tour followed by free sampling in the shop - do try their florentines! We also love Au Chat Bleu in Quimper (chocolate chestnuts are a must) and The Macaronnerie Philomene nestled in Rue Kèrèon in Quimper which also has seating (a great place for coffee or tea after a hard day's shopping) and serves over 15 different flavours of macaroons, chocolates to die for and unbelievable pastry's. © 2009 Fish&Fun Brittany (All rights reserved)
