restaurant

Neither breakfast nor lunch, the “brunch” has been exported from Anglo-Saxon countries for many years. He slipped into the daily life of the French, always more followers of good food in good company. The cafes and restaurants of the Breton capital have understood this well and, in Rennes, the brunch offers are plethora. Here is a selection, among the proposals best rated by Internet users.

The Enchanted

A tea room close to Sainte-Anne, which offers a full brunch every Saturday for less than €20. The menus are sweet, savory and, above all, homemade. We taste English classics, organic vegetable sandwiches and seasonal dishes, we dip into cheesecake or carrotcake, we sip organic tea. All in a cozy setting, between the sofas and seats on the terrace and, for those with children, suitable for little ones thanks to a space for books and coloring pages.

Bistro Cocagne

We eat well, we eat traditional, we eat dumplings. This is the rather special concept of “brunch” at Bistrot Cocagne, with 2 savory bolettes recommended per person, and why not a little sweet extra. All this in an old house, near Place de Bretagne. Wedged on the comfortable seats upstairs, or sheltered from the sun on the shaded terrace, you can enjoy homemade food, from scrambled eggs with bacon to squash velouté with fourme d’ambert.

Bluebird coffee shop

The founders of the place created several concepts in Rennes, before stopping at this coffee shop, on the Charles-de-Gaulle esplanade. The food is inspired by Japanese cuisine, with bento boxes, but goes around the world by slipping in bagels, donuts and other pastries. On the menu, bagel with salmon, avocado and hummus, salad, fruit, a sweet offer and a coffee. Proposals vary according to appetite, varied according to taste. And, otherwise, the à la carte offer to take advantage of the bowls of pulled pork.

The Club

Jazz aperitif atmosphere for this brunch. Located near the Parliament, Le Klub, with its green walls and plants in the four corners of the room, invites you above all to taste refined and hearty cuisine. Salty dish with several components, sweet dish with a variety of desserts, to drink alcoholic or not, the menu tends towards the high average of this selection. The bar also indulges in Bretonizing its brunch, with a Breizh offer on Saturdays. Notice to lovers of buckwheat and salted butter caramel!

Oh my Biche – Coffee Shop

Without reservation, this coffee shop offers a menu that is available for Saturday brunch. In the Colombier district, in Rennes, Oh my Biche guarantees home cooking “in tune with the seasons”. More like shredded beef naan, waffles with Cajun chicken and banana flambé or pancakes with fruit and maple syrup? There is something for every taste. Please note that the choice is made à la carte here, there is no “brunch menu”.
