Why go
Asia is a practical Quimper pick for an easy, casual meal near the centre rather than a splurge dinner. Book it when convenience and a low-pressure setting matter more than awards, chef-led format, or a documented wine program; cross-shop L'Identité, Eskemm, An Diskuiz, LA CASA D'A COTE, and Tiberi for more defined occasions.
About Asia
Asia is a casual venue in Quimper with opening hours that cover 12–2 PM and 7–11 PM from Tuesday to Saturday, plus 12–2 PM on Sunday. The dress code is casual, so it is a direct option rather than a formal occasion built around specific published accolades, menu details, or service formats.
A simple Quimper choice for first-timers
For planning purposes, focus on the schedule and the casual dress code. Asia is closed on Monday; open Tuesday to Saturday from 12–2 PM and 7–11 PM; and open Sunday from 12–2 PM. For details such as street address, chef name, cuisine category, price, awards, tasting format, drinks program, or seating setup, check the venue's current official information before making plans.
That makes Asia easiest to consider when the main question is whether its hours fit your plan in Quimper. It can work for a 12–2 PM visit Tuesday through Sunday, or for a 7–11 PM visit Tuesday through Saturday. If you are comparing different levels of formality or occasion, check details directly with each venue before committing.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Asia sits modestly on Rue Aristide Briand, where Quimper’s medieval streets and the shadow of the Cathédrale Saint-Corentin set the tone. The restaurant presents Asian cooking as a respectful foreign voice within a strong Breton culinary tradition, so the dining experience feels both rooted and quietly adventurous. The contrast between local galettes and Atlantic seafood and the flavors arriving from East and Southeast Asia gives the place a charming, historic character. It does not shout trendiness; instead it introduces thoughtful, homey dishes into a town that already prizes its gastronomic identity.
Best For
Asia is well suited to relaxed family meals, groups and casual get-togethers. The menu’s mix of Vietnamese- and Chinese-flavored dishes makes it a comfortable choice for diners seeking something different from the region’s usual crêperies and seafood restaurants. The restaurant’s central location in Quimper’s medieval quarter also makes it an easy option for visitors and locals who want a convivial, unpretentious evening out. Expect a welcoming, communal atmosphere rather than a formal tasting-room experience.
Ordering Tips
Focus on the house specialties to understand the kitchen’s approach to Asian flavors in a Breton setting. The signature Vietnamese-style beef stew is a good example of heartier, comforting fare; the frog legs with salt and pepper showcase a bridge between regional ingredient preferences and Asian technique; and the wasabi ice cream offers a concise statement of the restaurant’s playful take on dessert. When ordering for a group, choose a few of these standout dishes to share so everyone can sample the diversity of the menu.

Restaurant context
How Asia compares in Quimper
Asia is the lower-commitment choice in this Quimper set: easier to fit into a day, better for a casual first meal, and less compelling for diners who want a clearly defined chef-led or wine-driven experience. L'Identité and Eskemm are stronger cross-shops when the evening needs to feel more deliberate, while Asia works when timing and simplicity are the point.
For value, the smarter comparison is against LA CASA D'A COTE and An Diskuiz. Pick LA CASA D'A COTE for a more classic restaurant choice, An Diskuiz for a more local-feeling meal, and Asia when the group wants an easier, quieter decision with less planning pressure.
Tiberi is the other useful Quimper cross-shop if the brief is simply “somewhere in town that feels manageable.” Asia has the advantage for diners prioritising convenience around central Quimper; Tiberi is worth checking when availability or group fit decides the booking.
