Local specialities in Saint-Brieuc
Brittany, and more specifically the Côtes d'Armor, is renowned for its rich gastronomy and excellent local produce. Here we tell you about three specialities not to be missed during your stay in Saint-Brieuc!
The flagship product of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, the scallop is fished daily at a depth of 30 metres. You can enjoy them as a snack, in carpaccio or baked in one of the many restaurants in Saint-Brieuc town centre. If you fancy cooking it yourself, head to the market every Saturday morning.
This is the emblematic cake of Brittany, made with butter (lots of butter!), caramelised sugar and puff pastry. This 100% Breizh delicacy is sold in all the good bakeries in Saint-Brieuc town centre. To take home kouign-amann and other Breton biscuits, visit the Brieuc biscuit factory shop in Yffiniac (10 minutes from Saint-Brieuc).
You can't come to Brittany without enjoying a glass of cider! Raw or semi-dry, this Breton beverage is the perfect accompaniment to crêpes and galettes de sarrazin. In the Saint-Brieuc area, many local producers offer direct sales.
