While visiting the Brittany region from Australia, friends took us to the Cafe de l'Abbaye, especially to experience the moules et frites, a local delicacy. It was a beautiful day with many people visiting the area. Unfortunately all other diners had the same idea, and by the time we placed our food order the kitchen had run out of the dish.

Read moreMy friend and I had a very good lunch at Cafe de l’Abbaye. I highly recommend this place for food, atmosphere and service all are outstanding. They are very accommodating and look after you to make sure you are comfortable. I had a salad and my friend had the chicken; both dishes were very good. You can ride a bike or walk to this place via the Brest canal. I highly recommend. Lydie our server (not sure I’m spelling her name correctly) was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Always had a smile when she greeted us! I will be returning many, many times! Sorry didn’t take photos...
