L'Abelia

"Chef Vincent Berthomeau and his spouse Pascale have set up shop in an edifice dating from 1900 that is slightly outside the city centre of Nantes. Their handsome mansion is further enhanced by a conservatory, a terrace and a garden. The regulars return for the chef’s generous seasonal score and his menus vary depending on what he finds on his frequent forays to Talensac market. Enticing dishes such as a cassolette of langoustines and pleurote mushrooms in a flavoursome seafood stock or an exquisite chocolate, butterscotch and caramelised peanut tartlet, further jazzed up by a carrot sorbet and carrot coulis." - Michelin Inspector
