Les Fils à Maman brunches under the crooked facades of Place du Champ Jacquet in Rennes, eggs Benedict and pancakes in a 1980s-nostalgia dining room.

Order: Eggs Benedict and the mom's cookie from the €29.50 formule

Tip: Sunday only for the brunch formule at €29.50; the à la carte eggs run alongside if you want a lighter plate.

Café Albertine ★ 4.2

BrunchVegetarian Saturday brunch€€ColombierBrunch Sat 11:30-13:30; cafe Mon-Sat 09:30-18:30Reservations advised for Saturday

Café Albertine plates a €24 vegetarian brunch on Saturdays in its bright Rennes coffee shop, seasonal and largely organic from the daily kitchen.

Order: The €24 vegetarian brunch board

Tip: Saturday only and one sitting window, 11:30 to 13:30; the rest of the week the daily veggie lunch takes its place.

Mama Shelter Rooftop Brunch ★ 3.9

BrunchAll-you-can-eat hotel brunch€€€Sainte-AnneBrunch Sun 12:00-16:00Book ahead, it fills weeks out

Mama Shelter Rennes lays on the city's biggest Sunday brunch above Place de la Trinité, a €42 all-you-can-eat spread with a children's rate at €21.

Order: Work the hot and cold buffets, then the dessert wall

Tip: It is the splurge brunch of Rennes; children four to twelve eat for half, and the rooftop seats are the ones to request.

White Fields Café ★ 3.7

BrunchFamily buffet brunch€€Cesson-SévignéBrunch Sun 11:30-15:30Reservations advised

White Fields Café buffets its Sunday brunch out at Cesson-Sévigné east of Rennes, €28 with pizzas included and a children's rate that suits families.

Order: The €28 buffet, pizzas included, children under ten €11

Tip: The easiest big-table family brunch in the metro area; there is parking, which the centre brunches cannot offer.

BDS, Bar des Sports ★ 3.8

BrunchAll-week à la carte brunch€€CentreMon-Fri 12:00-14:30; Sat-Sun 11:30-15:00Walk-ins usual on weekdays

Order: The homemade à la carte plates rather than a fixed formule

Tip: One of the few Rennes brunches you can eat on a Tuesday; weekends switch to the 11:30 to 15:00 service window.

BrunchAll-week coffee-shop brunch€€ColombierMon-Fri 08:00-18:00; Sat 10:00-18:00; Sun 10:00-16:00Walk-in only at weekends

Oh My Biche serves brunch plates across two Rennes rooms open every day, creamy scrambled eggs, pancakes and waffles, plus a Mail Mitterrand address.

Order: Scrambled eggs, pancakes and the house granola

Tip: No weekend reservations at either address; the hidden back terrace at Puits Mauger is the seat to hunt.
