This crêperie, on the edge of the town centre, is always the place I take visitors. It's a fairly authentic crêperie experience, with a lovely atmosphere and a mouthwatering selections of fillings. I love the humour here, for example, their attitude about Coca Cola (you'll only get Breton 'Breizh cola' here, which is far better for the economy and the conscience!
If you come in spring and summer, there's a little outdoor Terrace.
Love their flavour combinations; love the authenticity.

We went here in January for my mother-in-law's birthday. We had a small pitcher of sangria between 5 and an orange juice for my son. We all ordered paella and were brought one big dish of paella to share between 6 (priced at over 20 euros per person). 4 of us had desserts and we ordered one bottle of wine to share. The bill was a jaw-dropping 200 euros!! Over 20 euros for a bit of mediocre paella on your plate! Please, please DO NOT waste your money on this! There are many other French restaurants you could eat in for around 20-30 euros for a 3-course meal!

We hit the jackpot on our first night in Brittany and were lucky to get a table without reservation.
My husband's entree was absolutely delicious (seafood with cream and leek sauce).
He enjoyed his main, mussels and fries as well.
I ordered oysters and they were fresh.
For main I got seafood in cream sauce - It was a bit bland but a little salt did the trick.
Reasonably priced restaurant with a beautiful view - We really enjoyed our dinner.
A must try.

We selected this place for a dinner using the TripAdvisor, and we never regretted the choice. We were warmly greated and our waiter gave us excellent recommendations regarding food selection. All the crepes and galletes were amzingly thin and very delicious. If I go back to Douarnenez, I will definitely visit the place again.

We had lunch on Sunday, a busy time for restaurants in France. With a full dining room, the service was a bit slow, but nothing to complain about. Staff was charming and unformal. Dining room is an unusual mix of internationaly modern and Britanny traditional designs which is both plesant and comfortable. Food is clearly based on the most traditional French techniques and food. But it proposes unusual blends, which makes the meals quite special (e.g. roasted pigeon with porto flamed grapes and chocolate). The wine list was reasonably priced but lacked old enough red Bordeaux. This was the best restaurant we have found in Douarnenez (note that le Clos de Vallombreuse restaurant was closed at that time of year). We had originally planned to stay at the hotel ("de France") which works with the "L'exotique" restaurant but the landlady told us she had a big party for dinner and we would suffer from the noise. So she advised us to go to another hotel. We would like to praise her honesty as many other hotels would not have warned guests and would have sold rooms...
6. Le Clos de Vallombreuse

Picture this: we know several excellent restaurants in this part of Brittany, but wanted to go to somewhere different for this, our 40th wedding anniversary lunch. We chose Le Clos de Vallombreuse because of its inclusion in the booklet "Restaurateurs de la Pointe Bretonne," usually a reliable guide. Well, the letdown was all the greater. Confusion on our cocktail; she poured our wine first and forgot we'd ordered a cocktail. We finally said "skip it." The "lobster medallion" was thimble-sized. Our St. Pierre fish ("john dory") was perhaps defrosted, despite the restaurant's location across from Douarnenez port. Etc. The wine - from the Loire valley - was good, and was one of the few on the list for less than 50 euros. Huge cheese selection, so-so dessert, coffee. At 48 euros (not including drinks), this was way over-priced. A big disappointment on our special day. Must make it up to my wife - somewhere else!
7. La Fleur de Ble noir - Creperie Chez Nadine

Reviewed By AIR12345 - Arnold, California
After walking around downtown and the port, this looked like the place to go.The menu had many choices including specials. The waiter engaged us in friendly conversation, and gave all the credit to Nadine, who has been making crepes for 25 years! The galettes were delicious, as well as the dessert crepes. We will definitely re-visit if we return to Douarnenez.
8. Creperie du Salle

Reviewed By Frenchholiday01 - Parcay Les Pins
We found the Creperie du Salle at the start of Le Chemin de la Sardine - a tourist trail leading around Douarnenez with the history of this old port. It looked inviting and seemed the obvious way to end our 2 hour walk around the town. We were not disappointed and enjoyed both savoury and sweet crepes, along with a few glasses of rosé, which was refreshing and most welcome. The crepes are made by hand, no whisks or food processors used as it is claimed it affects the final flavour of the crepe. They certainly tasted good and looked very appetising. The staff are friendly and service was excellent. The creperie has almost the atmosphere of an English tearoom, stone walls and decorated with local pottery with Breton scenes. The coffee was good too! It is certainly somewhere to be recommended.

Reviewed By beegoodee - Paris, France
The buckwheat batter is hand-mixed. the buckwheat itself is stone-ground, the lettuce and arugula come from Lannig's own garden (4 km away), the seafood is the day's catch from the port down the street. Lannig ("Little Alain" in Breton), sporting grey ponytail and grey mustache, greets our party himself, and patiently goes through the menu with us (ok, we are the first group for the lunch hour). I always order the "galette complete" (ham, cheese, and egg) when trying out a new creperie, and my "galette complete" is just right, dry but not crispy. I pick a lemon juice and sugar crepe for dessert, and the freshly squeezed juice (with pulp) is so fragrant. Definitely worth a return trip.
10. La Capitainerie

Reviewed By James F - London, United Kingdom
Oysters to start ('No. 4", I think) served with a red wine and shallot vinegar followed by cabillaud in a white wine sauce with dauphinoise potatoes and a compote of vegetables, both of which I enjoyed immensely. The fish was cooked well, if just a slight tad overdone. A very good two-course sea food lunch for two with a good quality bottle of chablis (23 euro) mineral water, bread olives and coffee came to under 90 euro for two. Not bad at all.
