La Petite Ourse

At this restaurant, Charlotte is in charge front of house while Germain cooks up good, generous food made with quality regional – and mainly organic – ingredients. Without sidelining poultry or fish, vegetables do take centre stage: white asparagus, sunflower seed praline and preserved lemon; steamed egg, buckwheat cream, roasted vegetable juice and chard stalks; fennel vanilla cake, lemon cream and preserved orange zest. Reservations are essential, as the people of Rennes have realised they are on to a good thing, with reasonable prices to boot!
