Brittany is a beautiful and unique region of France on the northwest coast. If you’re planning a visit to this area, then you’re in for a treat as it’s a glorious part of the world. And like much of France, food is a huge part of the culture of the area. While on your vacation in Brittany, here are just a few of the local dishes that you have to try.
Crepes
If you enjoy pancakes, then Brittany is the place for you. You will find little cafes and street stalls all around which will cook crepes for you on a large hot plate in a traditional way which is beautiful to watch and delicious to eat. You can choose from a range of toppings such as lemon and sugar, salted caramel, or fresh fruit.
Kouign Amann
This sweet pastry is quintessentially Breton. It’s rich and buttery and super decadent. It’s made up of dough swirled around into a spiral and drenched in butter and sugar. These indulgent treats are unique to the area and will complete your trip.
Galettes
Made in a very similar way to crepes, but so different in the end result. Galettes are made with buckwheat flour which gives them a heavy, savory quality which makes them ideal for a tasty meal. Most of the venues offering crepes will also be making galettes, and if you’re after a savory dish then this is ideal. Classic toppings include cheese, ham, egg, and various vegetables.
