Nantes is a city of great food<\/strong> and there is no shortage of good restaurants. Chefs compete with each other in their creativity<\/strong> to sublimate the numerous local products <\/strong>and our taste buds love it!<\/p>\n\n

Even if taste is, by definition, a personal matter<\/strong>, we have selected tables in Nantes where the products are fresh, the chef's touch recognizable and the restaurant's atmosphere conducive to a good culinary moment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

This selection is completely independent<\/strong>, we ate anonymously and paid our bill in full.<\/p>\n\n

The best restaurants in the center of Nantes<\/h2>\n\n

1. Restaurant Le Pickles<\/h3>\n\n

For us, Pickles is one of the restaurants that has been a pioneer in reviving Nantes' gastronomy<\/strong>. Dominic Quirke, the chef, is English<\/strong> (family culinary memories to forget...)! A former computer consultant, he went back to school to learn about cooking.<\/p>\n\n

\"in<\/a><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n

Good for him, because he's brought that little bit of <\/strong>British craziness <\/strong>to the fundamentals of Loire produce<\/strong>. As the name of the restaurant suggests, vegetables<\/strong> are the focus of this short and delicious menu.<\/p>\n\n

\"Pickle<\/a><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n

The selection of wines focuses on the Loire region and the very local Muscadet, but also offers a wide choice of wines by the glass from many \"small\" and unknown appellations<\/strong> of the French vineyard.<\/p>\n\n
