1. Allium
$$$$ | |When you've had your fill of crêpes, head over to this outstanding gastronomic dining room, beautifully set in its own kitchen garden, where each dish is a small work of art. With a wonderful backstory (the restaurant opened with the help of a crowd-funding campaign), flawless presentation, and seasonal organic cuisine that incorporates local (from its own garden) and wild whenever possible, it's no mystery why a Michelin star was earned in 2019. For a comprehensive experience of this marvelous cuisine, the tasting menu is obligatory, but leave yourself at least two and half hours for the six-course Allium menu (€125, other menus are a steal at €38 and €58). Outdoor dining is a pleasure here, and the chef is responsive to food sensitivities.

2. L'Atlantide 1874 - Maison Guého
$$$$ | |At this beautiful 150-year-old house, a minute's walk from the Jules Verne museum, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the Loire River along with exceptional local cuisine. Michelin-star chef Jean-Yves Guého studied his craft in such far-flung places as Hong Kong, New Orleans, and Paris, but his real love is for the culinary riches of his native Brittany. Seafood takes front and center in dishes like langoustine marinated in bourbon vanilla and lime with fava beans and blood orange, or white asparagus with Petrossian caviar and wild garlic. For dessert, try the house specialty: homegrown lemon verbena soufflé with raspberries and a chocolate tuile. The beautiful dining room is a place to linger, and on nice days you can dine outdoors on a spacious terrace overlooking the river.

3. Le Roscanvec
$$$$ | |On a pedestrian street in the charming old city, this modern gastronomic restaurant ditches stuffiness in favor of a relaxed, contemporary approach to food. What it doesn't dispense with is seriousness in the kitchen: chef Thierry Seychelles seeks out top-quality ingredients from a wealth of local suppliers for his seasonal, meticulously presented cuisine. Start with oysters from the nearby Bay of Pénerf, cocotte of asparagus with lime hollandaise, tender foie gras–stuffed ravioli, or smoked eel with lemon confit in a parsley reduction, followed up by monkfish served with French caviar (depending on market availability and the chef's mood, of course). His take on the traditional kouign-amann pastry is made with apples and served warm with salted-caramel ice cream.

4. Racines
$$$ | |On full view from her open kitchen, chef Virginie Giboire is cool and precise as she prepares a sophisticated market cuisine that earned her a Michelin star, one of the few restaurants in Rennes to garner that distinction. Everyone nowadays is doing seasonal and local, but Giboire, who trained at Paris's prestigious Ferrandi school and with superstar Thierry Marx, wields a traditional mastery in dishes that carry her unique signature: mixing wild-crafted herbs and seasonal ingredients in dishes like John Dory with spring asparagus, wild garlic, and roasted buckwheat. The vibe is low-key and friendly, and the fixed price menus—there is no à la carte—are a good value.

- Casual-elegant decor
- Affordable fixed-price menus
- Excellent wine list

5. Sao
$$$ | |Expect to have every sense engaged in the most delightful way at this warm, contemporary dining room overlooking the Odet River. Each dish is not just a pleasure for the eye, but a symphony of subtle flavors, mixing Japanese accents (ponzu, yuzu, shiso, ginger) with the freshest Breton seafood and local produce. A seat in the bay window with pretty views over the river is a bonus, but anywhere you sit you'll benefit from attentive service and an impeccable welcome.

6. Didier Méril
$$$$ | |Nudging right up to the beach in Dinard's historic center, this chic Michelin-starred restaurant has both gourmet fare and fabulous water views. Chef Méril takes his inspiration from the local bounty: fresh-from-the-sea dishes, such as salty-sweet Cancale oysters, fricassee de langoustines, and trilogie de poisson noble with lobster coulis vie with Breton specialties, like deboned squab dressed in foie gras. An impressive wine list, with 450 wines and digestifs from every region imaginable, satisfies the most discerning connoisseur. In warm weather, the seaside terrace is a fine place to enjoy a frosty glass of Champagne or an apéro. If you feel inclined to linger, on-site lodging is available in six stylish rooms that come with some endearing quirks. For example, the top floor's Room 6 offers spectacular ocean vistas from the bathtub, which is smack in the center of the room.

7. La Taupinière
$$$$ | |At an airy roadside cottage with an attractive garden, Guy Guilloux turns out a range of Breton specialties. Since the chef places a special emphasis on seafood, options might include a galette stuffed with spider crab, a langoustine flan, or a brochette de coquilles St-Jacques (scallop skewer) that’s been grilled on the large hearth in his open kitchen. For dessert, indulge without guilt on the light homemade rhubarb-and-strawberry compote. The €60 fixed-price menu is a good bargain for dinner.

8. Le Saint-Placide
$$$$ | |This sleek, modern dining room has managed to garner serious accolades—not to mention a Michelin star—in a town where culinary talent is in no short supply. Chef Luc Mobihan's cuisine brilliantly blends flavors to draw out the intrinsic qualities of local meat and seafood without overpowering it. Lobster-and-bacon risotto is both rich and light, and langoustine ravioli with coriander and Parmesan literally melts in the mouth. With three prix-fixe menus to choose from, diners have the pleasure of sampling a range of dishes.
