Le kouign-amann de Douarnenez, le vrai, avec beaucoup de beurre 😍
Il manque les crêpes dentelles !
Le chouchen, attention ça monte vite 😂
Le kig ha farz, plat d'hiver parfait.
Une galette-saucisse au stade de Rennes, le meilleur repas du monde.
Le far breton aux pruneaux, comme ma grand-mère.
Un cidre bouché avec les crêpes, rien de mieux 🍏
Le caramel au beurre salé, merci la Bretagne.
Les huîtres de Cancale sur le port.
