Once again to one of my favorite spots in my beautiful Morbihan dept 56 of my lovely Bretagne and in my belle France, I have several posts on Quiberon of course, this is a condense post with pictures all over on one of my favorite spots in the City, The City of Quiberon is actually a presqu’Île (peninsula) jetting out from mainland France into the Atlantic ocean , This is a sublime spot to enjoy the good of France in beautiful setting, a must to visit, me think, Therefore, let me tell you about the foodie in Quiberon, part I !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
Let me start right off the bat with one we used to go, La Cabana, (sadly closed 2020) for us right at Place Hoche (see post), at the entrance to the Grande plage (see posts). We have come with and without reservation for lunch while en route here! The old favorite La Cabana.! here for the memories of always. The service and food as always was good with good prices. For starter we had the Fahrenheit pizza and copieuse galette /boucher beef galette all wash down with a new twist of modernity for us a Touraine Sauvignon Blanc wine 2017 very chill and very nice at 18€ the bottle. We finish with desserts from banana splits to choco and coconut crêpes and express coffee ; all for 26€ per person. ok Now just memories In its place open Voglia, an Italian style resto, The place has a terrace on the Hoche square very nice, However, sadly our biggest disappointment yet , the service was uttely slow !! We waited 30 minutes without even ask for the meal ! By the time the waiter came, we needed to get back as no time to eat, We left without trying it and I don’t believe will ever go back there, They were unimpressed with us leaving as don’t care, As the competition here is strong, my feeling are if they do this on a regular basis they won’t last.
Another favorite Le Fisher’s Club right on the sand , Normally the beach season starts on July 14 National Day but weather can be good from now on,here is a resto bistro right on the sand call Le Fisher’s Club, we had our beers, and tapas of red peppers with goat cheese, calamar in its sauce, ham and cheese rolls, codfish fritters, with a great look at the beach, grandiose!!! Very nice cool place , to relax by the sea, sublime, and even kids space to boot. classic on the Grande Plage of Quiberon. Very nice cool place , to relax by the sea, sublime, yes there is Le Fisher beach club right on the beach serving well even Mumm’s Champagne with classe. Be here or be square !!

I give some other places to eat we had tried, all around the beach, You will have your first glass of wine or beer at the Le Café Hoche resto in city center 15 Place Hoche..The Café Hoche was a combination with the restaurant Les Trois Mâts and the Café Hoche,as tried, now all call Kafe Hoche, We passed by our favorite just to see it brings back many family memories of good cheers over the years and thinking of those no longer with us. Here for the memories of always,
On the beach, the Restaurant Le Colibri is a great spot, people watching par excellence and the prices right and food good, can’t ask for more lol! at 1 boulevard Chanard, and even you can have your breakfast here ! right at the tip of the beach entrance. Ovelooking the sublime Grande Plage or big beach of Quiberon. The official Resto lounge Le Colibri: https://le-colibri-lounge.menu-world.com/
I have add this late addition to this post, We stopped by Le Bistrot du Port right almost across the boat passenger terminal or gare maritime. Very nicely serve all decorated like a boatyard and cozy tables inside with a small terrace in front. We had some beers just to enjoy the ambiance as decided not so hungry and home is near anyway. We had a selection of Breton beers from my favorite Duchesse Anne. The Facebook page of Le Bistrot du Port: https://www.facebook.com/bistrotduportquiberon/
La Trinitaine, 13 Rue de Verdun, has my favorite breton biscuits and cookies in the area, madeleines, fish canning etc. The official La Trinitaine Quiberon : https://www.latrinitaine.com/nos-boutiques-en-france/la-trinitaine-quiberon.html/
Chocolatier et Caramelier le Roux, 18 Rue de Port Maria. Absolotely mouthful of flavor and quality in chocolates and caramel,the Breton way. A must in town. It has outlets in Paris too, Official Maison Le Roux : https://chocolatleroux.com/boutique/
Boulangerie patissérie Riguidel, 38 Rue de Port Maria , this is an institution here, and the especialty is the breton cakes especially the kouign amann done by fisherman that came from pays bigouden when Quiberon was one of the first port of sardines in France.

Another stop to see if something can be brough home is the fish market in front of the church in city center Quiberon before heading to the beach, this is the Les Viviers Quiberonnais, 3 rue de l’Eglise , great fishes and seafood as fresh as you can get them out of the water.
You have the wonderful,but first the best macaroons as Thierry Hafnaoui,33 Route de Verdun, Voted one of the best macaroons in France, just wonderful. Official Thierry Hafnaoui: https://www.thierryhafnaoui.com/nos-boutiques/boutique/3
For fish,seafood canning goods, a tradition in the area, head for the Belle Iloise 10, Rue de Kervozès, near the fishing coop. Official Belle Illoise Quiberon : https://www.labelleiloise.fr/fr/magasin/5007-quiberon-port-maria
There is plenty to eat, we were at l’Embarcadére resto at 1 rue de Kervozes last with mackerel fish and rice, complet galette noir ,chevre or goat cheese salad,moules curry, with leffe beers galore for 15€ per person. It has change owners into Restaurant Le Ferry ,not try yet, Here for the memories of always,
We stop in one of our favorites there Quai Ouest ;in fact, if not the first one of our first restaurants we visited here way back by me in 2011 !! This is the Quai Ouest ,translates into Key West as in Florida USA); the service and the speed are tops, even under the rain we ate in the covered terrace with heating. It is at 51 Rue de Port Maria , right at the point along the quai de Belle Ile. We had our cod fritters, down with my Lagunita beer with a nice view of the Gare Maritime or ferry terminal, My borador dog Rex was again flawless, good boy ; and sadly it has closed with a new name of Quai9 Quiberon 1 Quai de Belle Île not tried yet, Here we had our mackarel in mustard sauce fish, with a fish soup sublime, some of us had mussels in curry sauce, salads ,burgers, heineken beers, and we left with 17€ per person that is very good. Here for the memories of always,
Another one for the memories of always ,fitting to have on this post was the Le Tourbillon at pl Hoche, (sadly now closed). We had the menu du jour, mont d’or melted cheese with potatoes and marteaux sausages, with Leffe blonde beer, expresso coffee all for 22€ per person. The service was very prompt and nice, locals only now, they all knew each other. A memorable picture !!
Les Baigneuses, 7 Rue du Port Maria now a créperie, The former Villa Margot, which has become Les Baigneuses, is nestled in the heart of a 19C house with an adjoining turret, wonderfully located facing the ocean on the beach, not far from the islands pier and Place Hoche . The former Villa Margot was wonderful with the simple pleasures of a refined and authentic cuisine promoting local products. Lobsters, seafood, fishes etc. The new one not try yet. La Villa Josette , 3 Rue du port Maria, Under new management in 2023, This was the L’Huitrére a beautiful oyster restaurant that bit the dust and now a new one have not try yet.
