Meals here will highlight the many local delicacies and abundance of fresh seafood, shellfish above all - lobster, langostines, mussels, oysters, clams and scallops. Local cheeses, artichokes, early potatoes, lamb and crepes have also helped make Breton cuisine famous. The favorite local beverages come from the orchards rather than vineyards. Cider is produced everywhere, along with its pear equivalent and the well known Norman Calvados (a potent apple brandy).
