Le Rabelais sits a couple of streets back from the port at 51 Rue Raymond Le Corre, in a modest dining room that fills up fast at lunch. The kitchen turns out classic Breton seafood: fruits de mer platters, grilled sardines, moules-frites, and a fish soup that regulars swear by. Portions are generous and the prices remain firmly in the range of a working fishing town rather than a tourist destination.
This is the kind of place where the menu du jour is chalked on a board and changes with the catch. It draws a loyal crowd of locals, which keeps the quality honest. The atmosphere is informal and unhurried, and the house cider is good. If Le Poisson d'Avril is full or you want something a little less polished, Le Rabelais is the reliable alternative.
