Creperie La Motte Picquet

About

Creperie La Motte Picquet is a charming, family‑friendly spot tucked in the historic heart of Rennes, just steps from the impressive Saint‑Pierre Cathedral. The 18‑th‑century building, with its wooden beams and exposed stonework, houses two cozy rooms and a terrace that overlooks the city’s cobblestone streets. Guests can indulge in a traditional menu of Breton galettes and crepes, prepared with local, high‑quality ingredients. The menu features classic butter‑flavoured galettes, hearty fillings such as ham and cheese, and an array of specialty dishes like the eponymous "Motte Picquet" galette with chicken, apples and cheese, or the "Cathédrale" galette that celebrates the nearby cathedral. A selection of twelve Breton ciders and fresh non‑alcoholic beverages round out the dining experience. The interior is a colourful patchwork of bright, multicoloured quilts that give the place a warm, welcoming feel. Children are not forgotten, with crayons and colouring pages on hand, and the staff encourage their creations to be displayed in a special area. Open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday (and Sundays for lunch, with evening service only during school holidays), the creperie welcomes a range of visitors—from casual sit‑downs to romantic evenings and families on holiday. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak tourist season or when dining on the terrace. Whether you’re exploring Rennes city centre, or simply looking for a cosy spot for a Breton culinary adventure, La Motte Picquet promises homemade warmth, tasty hodgepodge of flavours, and an unmissable view of the cathedral that makes your meal all the more memorable.
