Oceanopolis is a massive aquarium featuring three distinct zones representing polar, tropical, and temperate marine environments. It offers an opportunity for visitors to discover the wonders of the world's oceans with over a thousand species of marine animals on display. The aquarium boasts one of Europe's largest penguin pools and provides an immersive experience for all ages.
Océanopolis in Brest is the most beautiful aquarium I’ve visited! The tropical and polar pavilions are stunning and full of fascinating marine life. A fun, immersive, and educational experience. I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone interested in the ocean world!

It is ok, but there are far better aquariums around. Admittedly, the place is currently undergoing a major renovation, so a large part of it is closed. But what we did see was mostly digital or interactive displays plus some tanks of mostly small creatures such as shrimps and seahorses. The only big animals visible were a few very bored seals in a tiny tank, swimming round repetitively. There were quite a few English translations and the staff were friendly. We stayed about an hour in total. Definitely don't travel specifically to visit, but it passes the time if you are in the area and the weather is bad. Hopefully, it will be improved when the big renovations are unveiled.
Overall loved the aquarium, just bad timing with the renovations so didn't get to see the sharks and the penguins but really nice and educational. The restaurant has really good food.
OMG worst aquarium ever ! Huge property seems abandoned. Rusted property. This place is definitely going out of business. Seals were nice. Two or three other fish tanks good. No otters in otter tank. Not one. All food places closed. Nobody here. On a Sunday. There’s no way this survives as a business. Penguins coming in October ! This whole place likely to be torn down in two years. Sad. The young women at the front were cute and funny though !
At the time we visited this place, most of the attractions were closed for renovation. It was expensive and we just saw one part of the aquarium. A bit underwhelming. I enjoyed the little thetre experience, though, it could be interesting for children especially.
My slightly low rating is due to a number of the major attractions being closed, which we knew about before our visit but it's definitely something to consider before making your way out. To be fair to the venue the ticket price is currently reduced to reflect the reduced offering but just something to be aware off. I would also score them lowly on the food offering. The restaurant looks cool but on the day we visited, there was a limited offering and the fish and chips was not good. Coffee from the smaller kiosk was also disappointing.
The main attractions open we're the Brittany exhibition which is a series of smaller tanks and can opportunity to see the seals swimming under water. You can also view the 4 seals above ground. There is also an otter exhibition with 2-3 otters. They're cute but it's a small exhibition.
There are some interactive\educational areas and an outdoor play area.
We visited as a family with a 6 and 9 year old and they enjoyed it and we did spend over 3 hours there.
It's also easy to get to Oceanopolis by bus from Brest. If you're driving there is plenty of parking including an area for camper vans.
Every nice aquarium for the whole family. Lots of variety in the exhibits and when small children get restless, there are a few outdoor play areas for them to get the wiggles out. Bring your lunch - the restaurant is mediocre.
Brilliant way to spend a damp Bretagne day! Took our 8, 7 and 4 year old, spent 6 hours exploring (including lunch...positively gourmet compared with the offerings at an English attraction!) Loads to see, with a nice spacious layout, not crowded on an August bank holiday. No stressful one-way system as we have at many aquariums in the UK - we could see the three main areas in whichever order we wished, and could return to bits we wanted to revisit. Most written info was in both French and English so the children could follow what we were looking at. Special thanks to David and Emanuelle from the first aid team who were extremely attentive and kind when the 4 year old bumped his head and bled a bit. We've never been so well looked after. Highly recommend.

Moulin Blanc beach is a picturesque sandy stretch overlooking the Brest harbor, popular for water sports and home to a large aquarium. The adjacent marina serves as a starting point for cruises to nearby islands or even England, attracting boating enthusiasts and anglers. With its inviting view of the 1,500-boat marina, the area comes alive in summer with bustling cafes and restaurants.
Nice but need more space and less carbage
Saleh A — Google review
Lovely soft sand beach almost 1 kilometre long with easy access. The water not so inviting though. Good views of the marina. Various excercise machines outside free to use.
... we are so lucky to have a huge clean beach like this just on the edge of town, nice for swimming as the bay is sheltered, and of course for sunbathing. There are cafe's and bars just nearby for an ice-creme or a beer if you are so inclined ... spot for the summer :°)
Not so clean,
It was alright for walking but definitely not for swimming
Nice area for Sunday walk or for sports. Definitely not for swimming.
It is a very nice beach. A good location to chill and have some fun, but the water is not as clean as we hoped and the weather isn't perfect everyday.
A reasonable beech that is close to the city. Free parking. If you want waves, you'll need to get out of town. If you want sand and water, this beach has them both.
Close to the city but definitely not the best beach if you can take your car for 20 minutes.

Very pretty river valley gardens. Stunning
This is a great place for a walk, for all age group. I love the stream, ponds, waterfall, countless types of flowers, lots of birdsong. Leaving the park, follow the path, just a short walking distance to Moulin Blanc beach.
Very nice garden that is more of a park but extremely cozy and with an amazing hidden Crepperie ❤ . I recommend to go before picnic or book or possibly nice boardgame afternoon. It's worth it.
Exceptional! We visited at the peak of rhododendron & azalea bloom, and it was glorious.
A beautifully designed botanical garden with a good variety of plants from all over the world.
Interested in botany and plants?
Go for it! 🫠
Great garden, perfect for a nice calm walk.
Great botanical garden. Worth two hours of visit. Take your camera. Very enjoyable place. Direct acces to a beach.

Mr G — Google review
Stade Francis-Le Blé opened in 1922 under the name Stade de l’Amoricaine.
It was a relatively modest stadium that remained almost unchanged until a new main stand was built in 1982. At that time it also changed names to Stade Francis-Le Blé, after a former mayor of the city.
terrible seating, very dirty
Lots of fun, great stadium, friendly crowd. Probably not so for the prawn sandwich types.

Restaurant
This restaurant is a must-go in Brest! It offers a very charming and comfortable setting, as well as an amazing selection of crepes and galettes. The kig-ha-farz cuisine is also something you don't want to miss - it's pure Breton tradition with the perfect flavor balance. Come and enjoy your meal in this delightful place, either in the garden or inside, in beautiful Brest!
Crepes outside on tables in the sun with good organic cider. Good selection of savoury and sweet pancakes. All very good. Afterwards you can walk down to the moulin blanc beach through the beautful botanical gardens.
James E — Google review
Lovely scenery and situated on the banks of a little stream. One would almost assume that this place would be good. It isn't. There were rude servers (especially the male server), flies all over the place and the wait for food was way too long. The food itself was okay, when the order was correct. The server treated us like we were a hassle and was not helpful at all. Snide comments to simple questions or request were very unwelcome. The toilets were disgusting! I'd rather have used a toilet at a festival. Such a pity as we had high hopes when we saw the place. My advise, get a sandwich and eat it along the banks of the stream.
A bit expensive for an average crepe. Dirty toilet and a not so friendly waitress. Pity because it’s in such a beautiful location.
Great experience! Great taste of traditional crepes (Salt and Sweet)!👌
Absolutely the best crepe resto in Brest, hands down.
The catering service is excellent, and the prices are super affordable!
Great place to have a crêpes 🥞
Typical Crêperie with great choice of galettes and crêpes.
Nicely situated in the middle of a Parc, so you can enjoy a nice relaxing digestive walk after your meal.
I love it! 5* for food quality,services and great price😉 definitely will come back to try other dishes on the menu..superb!Tres bonne😋

Great location, awesome food and good service. Would love to come again before I leave Brittany
Mete E — Google review
Tasty dish of mussels. Great staff. Nice atmosphere. The downside is that they don't serve bread to dip into the delicious gravy, if you're not a French fries' fan... Worthwhile revisiting, though!
We ordered moules frites à la crème and moules frites au bleu (you can choose if you want your dish to be accompanied by french fries or not, we chose the fries) and then we shared a dessert - Kouign-amann. Everything was good, the portions are big, the kouign-amann is a caramelised pastry, very buttery and sweet. If you are like us and feel full after such a big meal, but still want to try local treats, you can share a portion, it was more than enough for us. The service was fast. For dinner, it only serves food after 7 pm. It gets crowded pretty fast.
Popular great range of drinks including cocktails and great views over the marina (if you like boats). Bar staff seemed cold and a bit grumpy though.
I'm from New Zealand and recently stayed in Port de Plaisance. Staff at Le Tour du Monde were so friendly and welcoming, the vibes were cool, but mostly the moules et frites were super good. Merci beaucoup!
Great place with a great
View over the port. Good for meeting with friends over drink and a good bite. It can get a bit noisy but just like a bar atmosphere where one should not mind the noise but rather enjoy the ambience.
Love this place!! If you are looking for the traditional moulin et frites this is the place to go. All generations there, all day everyday, enjoying the great food, service and views!!!
Le view port is great - service very nice - food ( it depends - if you are 2 month on a boat without stop it is the best food in the planet - if you are a visitor, you can have better fish and frites for shure -

Fish & chips restaurant
Nestled in a charming old fisherman's house along the picturesque banks of the River Elorn, My Fish: Authentic Fish & Chips is a seafood haven that promises an unforgettable dining experience. Since its opening in 2018 by Andy Nisgern, this delightful eatery has been dedicated to serving only fresh and homemade dishes. The menu boasts an array of delectable options, including mussels bathed in white wine sauce, crispy calamari fritters, and succulent grilled prawns.
Naturally skeptic, we didn’t expect much when we found this place…in a French mall parking lot. Were we about to relive our teenage dreams of being food court rats? Was this a Michael Scott and Sbarro pizza moment from The Office? The reviews were too stellar for us to turn back.
Sure enough, the reviews don’t lie. The employee greeted us and explained we were about to have the best fish and chips in Brest, if not all of Brittany. We both ordered the Fish & Chips, made our orders a double (two pieces of fish), and went big on the chocolate moelleux for dessert. We were told every was made fresh, locally, and in shop.
To our delight, the fish was tender and scrumptious. The fries were some of the best we’ve had all trip in France (and we’ve been here for over a month!). Worth the trip to the mall, and worth every euro we spent on it.
Hannah M — Google review
Very goof fish & chips, fresh products, home made! Also serving very tasty local artisanal beer with the means. Good reviews on google confirmed !!!!
Fresh fish served fried and golden - delicious! Bright white moist fish surrounded by a light crispy breading, made on the spot. House made tartar sauce, Cole slaw, mashed peas, malt vinegar on the table - the works! Can't wait to go back!
Best fish and chips I've had in France! Cooked to perfection. The sides are really good too especially the tartare sauce! Staff are super friendly and efficient. Thanks for a lovely visit. A bientôt!
Great Fish and Chips similar to what you would enjoy in England, but in France. We were craving a good fish and chips place while on the coast of France and this hit the spot perfectly. Great atmosphere, nice owner, great location by grocery shopping and mall shopping. Portions were large and price was reasonable.
Great place for Fish&Chips. Everything is homemade and the fish tastes amazing. If you want dessert: the banoffee is delicious.
Better than most of the places of London itself!
Fresh, well cooked, tasty.
And fair price... Perfect
Excellent Fish and Chips! Just as good as in Wales. I will definitely be coming back.

Sushi restaurant
Hinoki is a culinary gem nestled in the vibrant heart of Brest, France, where sushi lovers can embark on an extraordinary gastronomic journey. Helmed by the talented Xavier Pensec and his Japanese wife Mika, this restaurant beautifully embodies the spirit of Edomae sushi. Each piece crafted here is not only visually stunning but also bursts with flavor, reminiscent of Tokyo's finest establishments. The intimate and elegant ambiance at Hinoki enhances every dining experience, making it truly unforgettable.
Greatest sushi in France! He gets best fish from local much better than import from Japan.

Thank you very much for an unforgettable evening at Hinoki. Everything was just right: from the reservation, the consideration of special requests, the natural switch between English and French, the constant feeling of being welcome, to the beauty and perfect flavour of the food and the relaxed atmosphere.
You two are very special and kind. I won't wait another 10 years to come back again.
Very good Sushi restaurant. Nice people,good food. You See how ur food is made in front of ur own eyes, really Amazing! Try it, I dare you.
Best sushi in France.
(Translated by Google) What a wonderful evening! Xavier and his wife welcomed me with delicious food and a very pleasant atmosphere. The interactions with them and the other customers were very interesting. I highly recommend it! The fish is tasty and well prepared! That's why I didn't take a picture of the sushi!
(Original)
Quelle merveilleuse soirée ! Xavier et sa femme m’ont accueilli avec une cuisine succulente et une ambiance très agréable. Les échanges avec eux ainsi que les autres clients étaient très intéressant. Je recommande vivement ! Le poisson est goûtu et bien préparé ! C’est d’ailleurs pour ça que je n’ai pas pris de photo des sushis !
excellent!!!!
(Translated by Google) I experienced our evening at Hinoki as a timeless experience, a sort of gastronomic journey to Japan. And I loved it because in addition to the excellent food (nothing to do with classic Japanese restaurants, here it's something else!), there is the hypnotic spectacle of the preparation as well as the enriching exchanges on the culture around sushi. In summary, I can only highly recommend Hinoki, well done and thank you to them for what they do.
(Original)
J'ai vécu notre soirée chez Hinoki comme une expérience hors du temps, une sorte de voyage gastronomique au Japon. Et j'ai adoré ça car outre les mets excellents (rien n'a voir avec les restos japonais classique, ici c'est autre chose !), il y a le spectacle hypnotique de la préparation ainsi que les échanges enrichissants sur la culture autour du sushi. En synthèse, je ne peux que recommander très fortement Hinoki, bravo et merci à eux pour ce qu'ils font.
(Translated by Google) So no, gastronomy shouldn't cost this much. There are incredible restaurants, much better for €100 per person (the price of the Hinoki menu a few years ago, by the way). I don't know why prices here have gone up so much, but the food, while excellent, doesn't justify it at all. €165 now seems like a rip-off.
(Original)
Alors non, la gastronomie ne devrait pas couter ce prix. Il y a des restaurant incroyable, bien meilleur pour 100€ par couvert (le prix du menu Hinoki il y a quelques années d'ailleurs). Je ne sais pas pourquoi les prix ici ont autant augmenté, mais la cuisine certes excellente, ne le justifie pas du tout. 165 € à présent, ça ressemble à de la pigeonnade.

Sunday night. 200,000 square feet. Nothing. One guy doing tai chi or something. Dead. This is the big thing in Brest ? Yikes. This after the soul deadening experience of Oceanopolis. What’s with this “city” ? Thankfully driving back to the charming towns tomorrow. Ciao Brest. It’s funny, looking at the other reviews they say how great it is then post pictures of a totally empty dead environment. Party on !
Excellent place! Loved the street art exhibition and the little shops, like the second hand vintage shop close to the entrance.
A big downside for me, thus the 3 stars, is that it's not pet friendly.
Regarding the hateful ignorant comments, guys it's a C U L T U R A L C E N T E R, which means that they host exhibition and events, beside the permanent coffee, food and beer shops. That's why they have a site, so you can check what they're hosting every day and go see the exhibition or event that you're interested into.
A great repurposing of this historic building. Arriving by cable car is the best way.
Really nice place with cool old structures inside. I love that there is a lot to do and the place gets used to skate inside by children and adults. There is a library, a climbing place, fun spot to get a drink and place some games. Really nice atmosphere
Great space to visit with family. Cinema, climbing wall, great industrial architecture all to be enjoyed. Book shop and library. Food court also available for some lunch. I recommend getting there by cable car. Fun day out.
It's a cool multifunctional space, refurbished from a naval factory but that's pretty much. There's an ice cream shop, some co-working spaces, a cinema and the ocean museum but apart from the last one there's not much to do. There're only a few posters concerning the history of the building so if you don't have something specific to do there it won't keep you busy for long.
A perfect place to spent a few hours for relacation, inline skating, climbing and amazig food. Gondola is super fun (one goes above the other), and the view on old castle is amazing.
Perfect also for rainy day. Well done Brest😎

We love to spend some time here after school, but it's often full of dogs (even though there's a forbidden sign at the entrance), and sometimes dirty
An excellent point of view over the castle and the penfeld.
Beautiful park overlooking the water with castle views. Great place to meet up with friends or have a game of lawn balls.
Spacious park with a beautiful view of the rade de Brest and the chateau.
Amazing view for a picnic to enjoy some soleil!
It's so nice

With breathtaking views of the bay and old city from the castle towers, a visit to this museum promises an enriching experience steeped in naval history.
Loved the museum. Lots of history from more than 600 years ago. I was expecting a little bit more maritime stuff. It is a beautiful castle with lots of interest things to see.
Luis D — Google review
Part of the castle which you have to enter see review of castle. The rowing museum at Henley has more exhibits. Most of what you read you could get from a book. Worth visiting for the views of the town.
Already in the 3rd century, some fortifications, a castellum, were constructed at this site.
Later, this huge castle was built and expanded through the years. Occupied by the English during the Hundred Years War, sold by the English, it became an important Naval base and part still is and off limits to visitors.
There is a well signed tour you follow through the castle. There are many galleries inside with the interesting history of the place.
At the end of that tour, there are some beautiful large wooden sculptures
Lovely place to get history a lesson on the area of Brest. The Chateau covers a huge area and housed inside is the Marine Museum. Naval history at its best! Models of ships used throughout France's conquests and exploration expeditions are on display. Plenty to keep the kids engaged. The views of the bay are fabulous as well.
Excellent maritime museum with loads of displays, models, av displays and audio guide in multiple languages.
Just to note that only the entrance and first floor are fully accessible. And the tour goes between inside and outdoors...just in case you're visiting on a rainy day.
Allow at least two hours for a visit to cover the full exhibition and not miss out on any time periods of the maritime story.
We visited as a family with a 6 and 9 year old and they both really enjoyed it as well, especially since they got their own audio guides and could seek out the next number on the tour. The audio guide is an extra €2pp but worth it.
The Musée National de la Marine in Brest is another significant institution dedicated to France's maritime history. Located in the historic Château de Brest, this museum showcases the rich naval heritage of France through an impressive collection of artifacts, models, and artworks.
Visitors can explore exhibitions that cover various aspects of naval history, including shipbuilding, naval battles, and exploration. The museum features detailed ship models, paintings, and various maritime instruments that illustrate the evolution of the French navy.
One of the highlights is the stunning views of the harbor from the castle, adding to the overall experience. The museum often hosts temporary exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs, making it a dynamic place to learn about maritime culture.

Téléphérique De Brest is the first urban cable car in France, offering a unique way to cross the Penfeld River and enjoy stunning 360-degree views of the picturesque seaside port. It's an affordable activity as it's part of the public transport system, allowing riders to use a regular ticket for one hour on buses, trams, and the cable car. The experience provides access to a renovated site with delightful dining options like Fabrik.
We stumbled upon the cable car and it had a very short line. Staff was present to help make the self service ticketing very quick and easy.
Views from the ride over the river we're beautiful and the large former ship repair sure that's now a local museum, arts, activities, food & bar area was perfect as a light rain passed thru the area for about an hour.

Careful! This is a normal transport means for the locals. It is not a tourist attraction. Therefore you can expect it to be smelly and dirty but a very cheap way of getting a complete view of the naval base down below. You go to one of the points and buy your tickets there. Take a two way ticket and you can enjoy the view.
It's a nice ride, but only if you stand next to the window. Make sure you enter first, otherwise you are stuck in the middle of sweaty people and can't see anything.
The ticket is easy to buy at the machine on the departure platform. 2,2 per person, kids till 6 for free.
On the other side of the river you will arrive right to the Atelier Capucins, a former factory building. The area is enormous and gorgeous, but still has to find it's purpose, I think.
You should experience this. Yes, it is a short trip but it supplies you a good view
Must see Brest's cable car, it is a short a ride but very nice to try.
Fun little find to take our boy on, it isn't manned so can get very crowded on the cable car. But a lityle fun venture
I recommend to visit. Great view of the bridge and bay. Low cost (2.2 eur in two directions). Excellent view of the historical part of the city from a height.
4.50€ for a day ticket to ride the tram, and buses all over Brest to explore. Top it off with a (included in the day ticket) ride in the "Ski Lift" for a sky line view and the realisation that the return lift is heading straight for you - you have a few seconds to work out how they will pass each other before you descend!

Pont de Recouvrance is a striking vertical-lift bridge in Brest that spans the picturesque Penfeld River. Connecting the bustling rue de Siam to the historic quartier de Recouvrance, this bridge replaced a swing bridge destroyed during World War II. As you cross, take in the remarkable views of the naval port and its surroundings, including a castle and a modern cable car. The area also offers pedestrian-friendly pathways adorned with street art and access to underground bunkers.
The Recouvrance Bridge is a lift bridge that crosses the Penfeld, in Brest, Finistère. Dominating the arsenal and the military port. It was built in 1950 - 1954. The National Bridge, inaugurated on June 23, 1861, collapsed into the river in September 1944, during the Allied bombings for the liberation of Brest from German occupation.
Post-war, after temporary solutions, such as the use by civilians of the Gueydon or Kervallon bridges. If you are visiting Brest, I advise you to visit this masterpiece.

... I guess you either love concrete or not, personally I think its looks lovely & is actually "pretty" in a modern sense, its not your typical arched type bridge , but a sort of "lifting up vertically" one, if I get a chance to see it in "lifted up" mode I will definately take another picture...this night the sky and the lighting were in sync hense the photo ... nice plaza on both sides for sitting or (skating...)
This could be just another bridge without its rich history and important location. All around it is evidence of Brest's military and naval importance since Roman times.
One of main touristic place in Brest. It is muss-to-be-visited spot in town. Good for taking pictures of Brest castle and surrounding spots!
Nice area to walk around and enjoy the weather
Nice view great weather !
Remarkable views of the historical and working naval port. Castle on one side and the ultra modern cablecar on the other. Look down for the port action and explore the cliff-face for the entrances to the underground bunker in. Look out to the harbour to see the fleets of yachts competing. Some reasonable cafes and a couple of jolly pubs nearby.
A gem of the city. Nice for pictures.

JUST ANOTHER IRISH BAR? No it is not! This place is amazing and the staff are great too, it has a great vibe, good selection of drinks and an outdoor terrace area for those sunny evenings, or afternoons if it takes your fancy. Definitely worth the visit.
What a lovely and lively Irish pub in downtown Brest. There are banknotes from everywhere hanging from the walls. Great choice of local Breton, Irish and international beers and other drinks.
Very nice pub table sitting inside and out nice atmosphere
Tasty food and drinks served by super friendly staff. Very helpful. Extremely reasonable price for what you get. A must.

Au Bureau is a unique and authentic pub that offers a great atmosphere with an Anglo-Saxon decor. Located at the harbor of Brest, it's a perfect place to enjoy throughout the day. While some visitors found the food to be average and slightly greasy, many appreciated the friendly staff and enjoyable ambiance. The restaurant offers decently priced meals and ABI beers in a lively setting by the marina.
I spent a nice energetic night in here. Lots of friendly servers. Our server talked English and was very helpful in deciding what to eat. I had the BBQ ribs with fries. They were delicious. I'm a rib and steak kind of person. The price was right and the food amount was also great for me.

Great location at the harbor of Brest. The atmosphere and interior of the restaurant is great. The owner seemed awesome and very friendly as well. Service however was very slow. Very friendly but slow. The food was nothing special. The Flammkuchen was burned, the canard croque very dry, the salad soggy. The drinks were very good. Overall a good experience.
Good food, friendly staff and fairly priced. Looking at the marina next to harbour docks. Give it a try, you love it. Enjoy cheesy french fries.
Highly recommended restaurant! The food and the service were AMAZING! Shout out to Joseph, the waiter who served us, a perfect combo of funny and professional!
I think they were having a bad night and were caught out by the number of customers for the staff on duty. Food was good but not great and the staff were very friendly and doing their absolute best in the circumstances. The only thing that would stop me going back was the french karaoke that whilst entertaining at first became quite wearing.
We sat on the terrace by the port. I had a very nice veggie burger.
Nice food but a bit cold.

Service was perfect, girl gave her best to help me on her solid English, which is rare here in France for me as a tourist. By the way, Bagel was so delicious. I will be back.

Really good sandwiches and fries. Nice people. Good spot for people watching.

Helmed by experienced restaurateur Bruno Diabaoui and chef Philippe Le Bigot, the restaurant offers seasonal menus featuring contemporary twists on Brittany-grown produce.
A nice and chic place with good food and great service. And the location is a true gem! I read that they lost their star in the guide recently, but that certainly did not show in what was produced in the kitchen. Nice dining experience in a well thought out restaurant.

Beautiful evening at the m restaurant for my mum birthday. Food was very innovative and delicious. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is romantic and stylish. We will come back to try the terrace 🥰
Innovative presentation, delicious food and good service! The fish was very fresh and tender, and the chef managed to keep its original light flavor and not destroying that with the sides and sauce. A high quality Michelin 1 star!
Incredible find tucked away in a secluded and unexpected corner of Brest. The staff is friendly and eager to please. The cuisine is creative, artful and incredibly fulfilling for your tastebuds. It is a carnival of taste. The value is regarded as high and excellent. Highly recommend you enjoy this gem if you find yourself looking for a highly enjoyable meal in Brest.
Good food and service, but it’s odd a Michelin Star doesn’t take Amex.

Nice spot for a coffee and a cake, with relaxed sitting area and excellent 5G connection...
Prepare yourself... went looking for a dry cleaner and landed up on a shopping spree 😂 Plenty of shops to visit. Some friendly, others not so much. You will encounter some language barriers, and some shopclerks won't even make the effort to try to help you or understand you even if you use an automatic translator... deer in headlights situation. So you just exit the shop... which is a pity. But, landed up purchasing some items of clothing which was good to get rid of the frustrated experience of the other stores. If there is a next, I'll just target specific stores and call it a day. Free parking. Good access.
Good shopping mall with lots of variety, however came here for the supermarket and it seemed it was being renovated.
The closing time of this mall is inacceptable, in my country it's 24/24. In my point of vue, this mall is going to close very very soon. SEE YAAA
Brand clothing can be found here. Very interesting place.
Good all round shopping mall, with a large geant supermarket.
It was an alright place. Not many chain shops or restaurants.

(Translated by Google) We take subscriptions to support culture. But I'm very disappointed to learn that Quartz doesn't support young people who apply to do their junior year internship there.
Young people need more than ever to discover and promote cultural venues.
The junior year internship is an example of inequality: without connections, there's no internship. So learning that Quartz isn't doing its part, excluded, deeply saddens me.

On prend des abonnements pour soutenir la culture. Mais je suis très déçu d apprendre que le Quartz ne soutient pas les jeunes qui demandent à y faire leur stage de 3ème.
Les jeunes ont plus que jamais besoin de découvrir puis promouvoir les lieux de culture.
Le stage de 3eme est l exemple des inégalités : sans relations pas de stage. Alors apprendre que le Quartz ne prend pas sa part, exclu me désole profondément.

When you choose to receive food with delivery service expect your food mixed with the drink for sure. Delivery guys are awful. They dont speak english and they dont wait at the spot youve you've made the order. you have to make 10 calls in order to communicate with them.
My ticket did not come out of the machine and took a long time to find my order and prove I paid showing them bank statement for this junk food. There was one member of staff was super friendly and helped but the rest made me feel I was trying to dup them out of 20 euros
Dirty and noisy. Over priced also. A lot of better fast food restaurants are around.
Don't recommend it.
Place was dirty, tables in cleared.
Food was so-so, and they forgot part of our order.....
Go to the competition, it's far better
The Bürger King in Brest has great service and good food. The greens in the salad were really fresh and yummy. It wasn't just iceberg--it was all sorts of good green leaves. The guy was super friendly and polite. I didn't want cheese in my Caesar salad, and he had them make me one without cheese They put pesto pasta in their Caesar salad for some reason and I took mine off which was no big deal. They also have their crispy chicken in their salad which I would normally love, but as I'm avoiding wheat, I took it off. I would say if you are OK with wheat products, it was a great salad. After I took off the wheat products, it was a great salad. The Caesar dressing was really good. The water was the French Vittel brand, the mineral water--I wanted no bubbles so this was perfect. The water was cold and delicious.

(Translated by Google) There is often a choice, we like to have our snacks from time to time, the prices are reasonable, however the decor is not more modern, it is relatively damaged and old-fashioned.
And it's a shame that you have to go to the gallery for the toilets, it's quite restrictive when you're alone with your children and you've started to taste.

Il y a souvent du choix on aime bien prendre nos goûters de temps en temps les tarifs sont raisonnable par contre la deco n’est pas là plus moderne elle est relativement abîmée et vieillotte.

Nice restaurant, we had a good experience, the entrecôte was very tender and juicy, the wine was excellent, the waiter was so kind and cool.

We stop by for a quick déserte, they were good 👍 happy for the service and for the dessert 🍮👍
You have to try it. We ate here several times, and the reason that we are comming back is obvius: Food is perfect😉
Perfect restaurant. We had a pleasant evening with friendly service.
The place is easy to find, very central and the kitchen is open up to 24 h 👍🏻. I wanted something tiny at the late hour and this burger with finest beef, very delicious fried potato chips (the best I ever had) with a fantastic homemade mayonnaise (ordered just mayonnaise extra) together with a Belgium Affligem blond beer made my day! Knowing the very polite and open personnel, this place deserves more than the points shown here. See for yourself (fresh seafood is their speciality). 5 from 5 points for me today !

Hamburger restaurant
Roadside | Burger Restaurant Brest offers delectable burgers that are cooked to perfection, with a slight pinkness in the middle. The option to have them cooked to order sets them apart. While the cheesy chips may not be everyone's favorite, the classic chips are much more enjoyable. The food is scrumptious, and although there are only two vegan options available, it is still worth a visit for vegans.
A simple burger joint in the heart of Brest that does exactly what you’d hope for — and does it well. Ideal for a quick stop in the middle of the day, with food that’s surprisingly high in quality for a casual setting. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and served promptly. The staff were attentive and pleasant, adding just the right touch of warmth to a straightforward, satisfying experience. Nothing fancy — just good food, good people, and no fuss!

Fine for a quick bite. Friendly cashiers. Tasty signature burger (Roadside burger). Still no paper towels (set de plateau papier) on trays, which is a letdown when you eat off directly from the tray. Great burger, though 😁 I must admit.
Pleasant and helpful staff, good food, especially for a late lunch after the Museum tour.
Decent burgers, vegan options available!
Service okay, not great.
The interior is very nicely decorated, however, there was a stench that came from the basement (bad plumbing?) that took away a star from the ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would have usually given.
Very good taste of the veggy salade and crazy fries are awesome! However, it is still fast food and may be not so healthy. Price is correct.
Food is delicious. Only 2 vegan options available but still worth visiting for vegans. For non vegetarian, wide variety of food is available.
Everything was good, milkshake a little to sugar but also very good, quick delivery
I try the twin peaks, very delicious. My eastern stomach can fill them everyday.
