French cuisine takes on new flavors in the northern province of Brittany. The gastronomy of Brittany reflects the centuries-old traditions of this rugged region. The hard work of fishermen and sailors requires constant energy replenishment, which is reflected in the traditional dishes of Saint-Malo. Those who follow strict diets are unlikely to enjoy Breton cuisine, but lovers of hearty, simple food will be delighted by the local specialties.
What should you definitely try in Saint-Malo’s restaurants? Let’s start with the Bretons’ favorite dish — crêpes. As the locals say, every town and village in Brittany has its own pancake recipe, so the variety will amaze you.
Seafood is also prepared here with exceptional skill. Breton-style fish soup combines twelve kinds of fish and seafood in a single bowl!
Be sure to try the traditional dessert — flan made from beaten eggs and milk with the addition of nuts, rum, and vanilla. And the refined taste of Saint-Paulin cheese will linger in your memory for a long time.
