Restaurant Tips
and Must-See Spots in Nantes
The Best Restaurants in Nantes and Surrounding
In Nantes, the journey often begins around a table. From the narrow streets to the banks of the Loire, chefs cook as others chart marine maps: with curiosity, precision, and a true taste for adventure.
Modern restaurants like OBBO, Pickles, ICI, Le Bouchon, La Mandale, Lamaccotte, Meraki, Sépia, Sain, Les Cadets, Roza, Bairoz, Omija, P’tite Pomme, Freia, LuluRouget, Atlantide 1874, L’Abélia, and Le Manoir de la Régate tell the story of each dish like a travel journal.
Further on, some prefer more classic stops, with the scent of old ports and comforting traditions.
L’Océanide, Les Bouteilles, Le Lion et l’Agneau, Les Chants d’Avril, Restaurant du Pont, Villa Mon Rêve, Le François II, Auberge La Gaillotière… Here, the food is simple and authentic, between an Atlantic fish and a glass of Muscadet.
Then there are elegant, discreet retreats, nestled in the calm of villages and vineyards: Le Laurier Fleuri in Vertou, Auberge du Vieux Gachet in Carquefou, Brasserie Constance, Le 1201 at the Abbaye de Villeneuve, La Table du Marquis at Château de Maubreuil, Le Pélican in Geneston, or Villa Saint-Antoine in Lisson. Places where time slows down, and where both the landscape and the flavors are celebrated.
Around Nantes – The Beautiful Getaways
Around Nantes, adventure takes on a taste of freedom.
The Nantes-Brest Canal stretches its calm kilometers, perfect for escaping on foot or by bike.
To the southeast, the Nantes vineyards offer their sunlit hills and Muscadet as crisp as a west wind.
Further south, Lake Grand-Lieu watches over the land, wild and silent, a kingdom for migratory birds.
And when the call of the open sea grows too strong, the Atlantic beaches are just 45 minutes away: salt, horizon, and the feeling of being elsewhere.
For everything else, let yourself be guided. The team at LHotel knows the region like one reads an old nautical map: every strait, every path, every secret.
