The Saint-Servan market takes place every Tuesday and Friday. It is located just behind the Bas Sablons beach, one of the pretty beaches of Saint-Malo well sheltered from the wind. Under the large covered halls, all food shops are represented: fruits, vegetables, fish and shellfish, meat, cold meats, delicatessen, cheese, flowers, etc. Perfect for composing a seafood platter or tasting the specialties of Saint-Malo! Local craftsmen also exhibit their creations on Place Bouvet which adjoins the halls.

Presence of many non-food stalls (clothing and crafts) on Place Coudray, on Wednesdays only. An excellent opportunity to buy in short circuits and exchange with local merchants in a very pleasant atmosphere.

As for fruits and vegetables, you will enjoy endives, artichokes, red onions, crunchy apples and beans produced by market gardeners in the surrounding area. Delicious homemade preserves are on sale to enjoy summer fruits and vegetables all year round.

The city of discoverers is also known for its spice trade. Berries, seeds and raw spices, rare peppers, salts and crystals, wild herbs, tea, infusions and rooibos: the city's grocery stores are full of original products and compositions.

Sweetness is not left out in this small town with a strong character. Here, the "potatoes" are delicious little candies flavored with kirsch and the kouign amann (delicious butter and sugar cake) is sold in all bakeries worthy of the name! Another specialty of Brittany, the savory and sweet pancake is in the top 10 dishes served in Saint-Malo restaurants. Moreover, tasting a complete galette is a must-do activity to do in Saint-Malo with your family, solo or as a couple...

Finally, the dairies of the Breton city honor the dairy tradition of the region. In addition to the legendary churned butter (obtained by beating the cream in a wooden barrel), the city is renowned for its flavored butters with multiple flavors. You can enjoy them in the form of a platter, accompanied by local cheeses (Ty Guerlédan, Timanoix or tome de rhuys).
