Saint-Malo is a great place to sample Breton specialties.
Breton Pancakes: not just the world-famous sweet crêpes, but also savoury galettes.
Kouing Aman: this is a delicious Breton cake made with butter and sugar. Try to sample them piping hot, especially the ones with apple added in.
Mussels moules: fished in the place and available in any restaurants.

In St Malo you can eat at any time of day. In smaller towns nearby, tip: look out for the lunchtime menu ouvrière workers' menu}; often there is little or no choice of dishes, but what you get is genuine French home cooking (love those fries! for half the price, if that, of what you'll pay in a tourist centre like St Malo or Mont St Michel. French lunchtime is sacred. Every French person observes it religiously.
