5 ideas for gourmet shopping in Brest

Here, we have a very specific word for gourmands and gourmandes. In Brest and throughout Brittany, we'll tell you that you're a "lichou", a "lichouse", or that you like "lichouseries". The city center is home to a number of nuggets for gourmet shopping, including delicatessens, pastry shops and other treasures. Take advantage of a day's shopping in the Siam and Jaurès districts to discover them!

Les bocaux d'Ana, a zero-waste grocery store

Just a stone's throw from the PAM and the Dialogues bookshop, Ana's warm and welcoming boutique is full of delicious finds... without packaging! Because that's the whole concept behind this bulk grocery store in downtown Brest: reduce waste and consume organic and local produce.There's everything here! Everyday foods, delicatessen products, cookies, local drinks, fresh produce, not forgetting solidcosmetics and zero-waste accessories.

Cheeses and local produce at Carpe Diem

At Carpe Diem, not far from the Musée des Beaux-Arts, cheese lovers won't know where to turn... and their taste buds. You'll find a fine selection of the best cheeses from Brittany and beyond, as well as gourmet groceries, terrines, olive oils, cookies, local beers... Fancy sharing a good time with friends? Order a tasting tray, and Isabelle will slip you a few nuggets to discover!

Gourmandise and passion for the craft at Pâtisserie Lallemand

A Brest institution: for four generations, the Lallemand family has perpetuated traditional patisserie with passion and love of the trade. Stop in for the best baba au rhum you've ever tasted, the house specialty. Or why not indulge in some of the macaroons and chocolates whose names are a credit to the city? As delicious as they are beautiful, Lallemand patisseries will undoubtedly leave you with an unforgettable memory of your visit to Brest.

The senses at Histoire de Chocolat

Get ready to embark on a sensory experience... Because here, every gourmet creation tells a story. It's the sea, the land, Brittany and travel that inspire Jean-Yves Kermarrec and his team. So, in "Recouvrance", "Brest" or "Bijou de Siam", local flavors rub shoulders with exotic notes, with both sweetness and character. A real treasure trove for lovers of good chocolate, and for all gourmets.

Damman Frères, the temple of tea

The famous brand's only western boutique is located in Brest, near the Marché Saint-Louis. As soon as you open the door, all your senses are aroused: the enveloping, subtle scent of tea overwhelms you, and makes you want to discover some of the 150 products on offer. As the seasons change, we like to return here to discover new flavours: refreshing infusions in summer, full-bodied black teas with orange and cinnamon accents in winter... As well as the accessories and delicacies that make a tea break an exceptional moment.
