Dining

Eating out in Brest is serious business, and understandably so. The waterside city boasts an abundance of marine resources, making it one of the best in the country for fresh, quality fish and seafood. Fish and seafood feature heavily on most restaurants’ menus, and no visitor to Brest must leave without tucking into a succulent crab or some exquisite oysters. Do keep in mind that most restaurants only open for lunch and dinner, remaining closed for the afternoon between roughly 2 and 6 pm.
