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.

A lot of travelers can’t imagine going anywhere without trying the specialties of local cuisine. Some countries have so many amazing traditional local foods in store that it’s difficult to decide which ones to skip or try—but this brief guide will help you do it.

Personal Taste

Your personal taste will determine which local foods are worth trying. If you have certain dietary restrictions, skip the foods that don’t meet them. The same goes for the foods you simply don’t enjoy, such as dishes that are too sweet or spicy.

Perfect Balance

If you’re not a picky eater and enjoy trying a little bit of everything, it’s highly unlikely you’ll have enough time to try everything you want. If you have trouble choosing, try finding a balance between sweet and savory dishes and try to make room for both.

Budget-Friendly

Your budget could also be limiting your attempts to try as many local specialties as possible. The best way to avoid this issue is to focus on eating street food and skip fancy restaurants.

Locals’ Advice

Once you pick the dishes you want to try, you’ll have to find the best places that offer them. If Google doesn’t help you find the best options, you can always ask the locals for help.

Even if guided tours are not necessarily your thing, we suggest you positively consider this cool option to discover hidden corners in lesser-known markets in the cities or villages you visit.

If you are a foodie and have stumbled upon a city full of markets or food shops and restaurants, take your time and go on a fascinating tour of the local food with a local guide. 

As part of the tour, you can often take advantage of the extensive knowledge of the market acquired by your tour guide, who had probably spent priceless hours exploring it. 

In addition, on such tours, you will often experience tastings of authentic food offered as part of the tour, which would not have been offered to you otherwise.

Some tours offer different experiences in addition to tastings, such as making granita in the markets of Sicily or grinding spices in some Mediterranean destinations.

Guided tours are also an opportunity to get to know other foodies from around the world, and exchange experiences during the tour and get recommendations for places to eat in the city you are visiting.

Bacalhau à Brás

This is a Lisbon staple made with salted cod, sliced onions, fried potatoes, and scrambled eggs. The origin of the recipe is unknown, but the legend says it comes from the old Lisbon quarter, Bairro Alto.

Francesinha

If you’re into sandwiches, you have to try francesinha, a juicy delicacy consisting of ham, sausage, roast beef, and cheese put between two slices of bread. The sandwich is eaten with thick tomato beer sauce. It’s going to keep you full as you walk around the city!

Pastéis de Nata

For dessert, you can try the local custard tart that will make all your pastry dreams come true. It’s simple and delicious and you can get it in many different bakeries around the city.

Barcelona is a breathtaking city with a lot to offer, but if you’re a true food lover at heart – specialties of its local cuisine probably top the list. Here’s a couple of local foods that will tantalize your taste buds during your visit to the Catalan capital.

Bombas

Tapas are a must-have dish in Barcelona, and if you’re struggling with making the right pick, you can’t go wrong with Bombas. This snack is made out of meat and mashed potatoes and is pretty similar to croquettes.

Paella

This rice and seafood dish is probably already on your list, and even though it originates from Valencia, it’s popular everywhere in Spain – including Barcelona.

Tomato Bread

Catalan tomato bread, known by the name pa amb tomàquet, is an extremely popular side dish that features ripe tomato rubbed on a slice of bread with olive oil added to the mix.

Calçots

Catalan grilled sweet onions are all the rage at local markets, and they’re usually served with traditional romesco sauce, blended and cooked with hazelnuts, almonds, and red peppers.

If you see traveling as a culinary adventure, you probably like trying traditional street foods in different countries. They’re cheap, unique and super-tasty – as long as you follow our safety guidelines and make a right pick.

Follow the Crowd

The best favor you can do to yourself is asking locals for advice. Check if members of your hostel staff or tour guides have any good recommendations before exploring on your own. If that doesn’t pan out, check out crowded places that are popular with the locals.

Go Clean or Go Home

Observe the vendor of your choosing for a little while before making your order. See if they’re trying to follow basic safety guidelines, and keep their place clean before making the final verdict.

Give Yourself Time

Heading to a local street food joint right after your flight isn’t a great idea, especially in the countries known for their spicy cuisine. Give your body some time to adjust to new flavors, before starting to experiment with local specialties.
