The most sizzling hotplate – in Saint-Coulomb
A Breton breeze, fields of buckwheat and views of the sea below… Welcome to La Ferme Breizh Café, where outstanding galettes filled with juicy sausage, garlic-soy mayonnaise or seaweed-infused mustard make their way out of two shipping-containers-turned-kitchens at both lunch and dinner! Take these treats to go or eat on-site, with some delicious fries cooked in beef fat on the side.
The most pizza-minded – in Sète
Camped out in the city of Sète, Nossa makes pizza just like in Napoli! So go ahead and wolf down one of the following: a puffed up Zucchina (ricotta cream, buffala mozzarella, roasted zucchini, pecorino crumble), a regal Régine (tomato, mozzarella, baked ham, button mushrooms, oregano), or even a cheeky Brunette (mozzarella, mortadella, truffled burrata, parsley). Eat in or take to go.
