La Fermette sur Brest

26/03/2026: Ideal for drinks, lunch, and evening get-togethers with friends. Always a great atmosphere, the food is good, and the prices are reasonable. Reservations recommended.

24/03/2026: Le Quatre Vents – Brest 23rd October 2025 We arrived in Brest as our first stop ahead of a tour of the west of France and a return to the UK across the Bay of Biscay. We happened upon this brasserie partly by accident, having walked around the upper part of the town and realising that much of the more interesting eateries were down by the port area. What a find. We had fish soup to start and I then chose the Moules, my partner opting for a delicious meat dish. We stayed longer than planned due to a very heavy rain shower (pre-empting a heavy storm which impacted on our travel plans the next day) but we had a lovely afternoon in this authentic local restaurant (and more wine than originally envisaged!) Many locals clearly return to eat here and I understand why. The food, the service and the overall ambience were all a delight. Great value, too. If I return to Brest, I would love to come back to Le Quatre Vents. The name of the place proved rather prescient, given travel disruption the following morning.
