The 15 Best Restaurants in Nantes, France | Eater

"After years spent working for the Michelin-starred chefs Gérald Passedat and Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille, Lucie Berthier Gembara brought a bit of that Mediterranean flavor back to her hometown to open this casual neo-bistro in the city center. Dishes change regularly throughout the seasons, but you can expect a year-round focus on vegetables and fish. There might be green gazpacho with fresh goat cheese coated in summer savory; smoked pollack with roasted broccoli, black gnocchi, and squash in a saffron sabayon sauce; and for dessert, homemade labneh topped with za’atar and fig-olive tapenade. If the weather allows, request a table on the terrace and book the Grand Voyage menu for six courses that demonstrate Gembara’s range. [$$]" - Lindsey Tramuta
