The story
At Fezi, the kitchen is a direct reflection of the Breton territory. The team describes their cooking as “saisonnière, ancrée dans son territoire”—seasonal and rooted in place. Oscillating between land and sea, from the coast to the plains, the menu evolves with the daily markets of Rennes and direct relationships with local producers. This is modern cuisine that is lively, gourmand, and precise, guided by the work of maraîchers, pêcheurs, éleveurs, and agriculteurs committed to quality and ethical practices.
The restaurant recently moved to a new space at 2 rue des Carmes, a typical building steps from the historic rue Vasselot, the vibrant heart of Rennes. The atmosphere is described as sincere and convivial—an invitation to explore the region through the plate.
Fezi’s wine program is built with equal care. The list focuses on natural and terroir-driven bottles, with a selection of artisan softs and house-made brews. The team sees the pairing as the link between the dish and the glass.
This commitment to honest, locally-sourced modern cuisine earned Fezi a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a recognition for good quality, good value cooking. The menu is offered in formats including a three-course lunch (entrée, plat, dessert) at 25€, a four-step “Cuisine de territoire” at 45€, and a six-step version at 65€. Dietary accommodations are welcomed, from intolerances to specific regimes, when communicated in advance.

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
