Le Paris-Brest

Opening in 2019 as part of the renewal of Rennes train station, Le Paris‑Brest reimagines the station buffet as a refined, accessible bistronomic venue available throughout the day. The wine list was created by master sommelier Éric Beaumard; the restaurant offers breakfast formulas, an afternoon snacking menu, a children's menu and takeaway options for travellers and locals. The dining room, by Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku, occupies level 1 of the departures hall and is reachable by a panoramic lift. Futuristic décor and design furniture combine with large glass façades to afford panoramic views over the city and the railway tracks in a bright, convivial space for 130 covers. The kitchen serves a bistronomic, modern French cuisine rooted in Breton tradition, where classical techniques reinterpret regional dishes with contemporary creativity, seasonal produce and short supply‑chain sourcing from selected local producers, including a contemporary Paris‑Brest dessert. The restaurant is led by Breton chef Christian Le Squer, celebrated for three Michelin stars at Le Cinq. Specialities include Poitrine de cochon confite et caramélisée, étuvée de chou; Le Paris‑Brest contemporain; and Pâté en croûte de volaille et foie gras.
