Cafes

For a snack, head for any one of the city’s many crêperies - these seem like the obvious choice when in the province of Brittany. Crêpes come in many delicious varieties - savoury (with cheese, bacon, eggs, mushrooms - and the list goes on) and sweet (with chocolate, cream, fruit, and berries).
