Vendors, food trucks and stalls: the cheapest, fastest, frequently best food in Rennes.
BioCrêp griddles organic galette-saucisse inside the Halles Centrales of Rennes, €3.50 for the plain classic from carefully chosen artisan sausages.
Try: Galette-saucisse
Tip: Order it nature with onion confit at most; ketchup on a galette-saucisse is a local heresy.
Le Plaisir du Breton is one of the named galette-saucisse stands working Roazhon Park in Rennes, rolling the grilled-sausage classic for the match-day crowd.
Try: Galette-saucisse
Tip: It is a roving stand, not a shop; find it outside Roazhon Park on Stade Rennais match days and around the markets.
Maison Delaunay grills galette-saucisse at Roazhon Park in Rennes, a stand the stadium crowd queues at for the pre-match sausage in buckwheat.
Try: Galette-saucisse

La Crêpe au Chat rolls takeaway galettes and a €3.70 galette-saucisse on Rue Saint-Hélier in Rennes, a counter stop between the station and the Vilaine.
Try: Galette-saucisse and takeaway galettes
Tip: A five-minute walk from the station makes this the galette-saucisse to grab before a TGV.
Crêpe House serves €3.50 galette-saucisse on Place du Champ Jacquet in Rennes, under the leaning half-timbered facades of the old town's photo-op square.
Try: Galette-saucisse

Try: Galette-saucisse

Aux Caprices de Suzette on Rue Vasselot in Rennes plates La Rennaise, a galette-saucisse with emmental, onions and old-style mustard, or hands it over to go.
Try: La Rennaise galette-saucisse
Tip: La Rennaise runs €12.30 on the menu; take the plain galette-saucisse away if you want the street ritual rather than a plate.
Madame Claude on Rue de Penhoët in Rennes reworks the galette-saucisse as La Vigneronne, its sausage cooked down in red wine, folded into a paper cone.
Try: La Vigneronne galette-saucisse
Tip: Order the Vigneronne for the revisited version, around €11; purists should stick to the plain sausage from the market stands.
La Robiquette in Rennes takes its name from the galette-saucisse's original nickname and plates a €16 seasonal bistro version built on Breton sausage.

Try: La Robiquette galette-saucisse

Try: Galette-saucisse
