The story
Fezi, at 42 avenue du Sergent-Maginot in Rennes, is a modern bistro that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 for good-quality, good-value cooking. The kitchen runs on seasonal produce, and the menu changes with the city's markets.
Chef Cédric Bruneau leads the kitchen, and most of the menu is made in-house. The restaurant names its producers openly, from market growers and fishers to farmers and cheesemakers across Brittany. Le Fooding noted a lunch of fresh panzanella with heirloom tomatoes, basil and lemon, a squid ink hake tempura with crisp braised leeks, and a pavlova with summer berries and strawberry sorbet.
The dining room is bright, with white walls, bistro furniture and handmade ceramic tableware. The drinks list leans toward natural and terroir wines, alongside artisan soft drinks and craft or wild beers. Set menus are priced at 25 euros for starter, main and dessert, and at 45 or 65 euros for four or six courses. Dietary needs and allergies can be adapted when you book.

History
good quality, good value cooking
As its name implies (if you speak Gallo, anyways), everything here is homemade. And it’s hard to be any more locavore than the chef, Cédric Bruneau (La Table de Clarance in Lille, Le Ciel de Rennes), or more naturophile than the sommelier William Nogris (Auberge du Vert Mont in the Nord department). As for the dining room, it’s sleekness personified – white walls, bistro furniture, lovely artisan made ceramic tableware. The day we went for lunch, our plates were graced with all of the following: a very fresh panzanella salad with heirloom tomatoes, basil and lemon, which had us weak in the knees; a thrilling all-black hake squid ink tempura, with crisp braised leeks, plus new potatoes served with a verdant leek reduction mayonnaise; and a diva-like pavlova topped with summer berries, tarragon-infused raw cream and strawberry sorbet. // Catherine Jamon
