Esthète Naturellement Pâtissier

The 15 Best Restaurants in Nantes, France | Eater

"One of the city’s leading fine pastry shops is run by yet another pair of former Parisians who wanted a change of pace (and perhaps a less-saturated sweets scene). Chef Julien Merceron brings years of experience from À La Mère de Famille and the Michelin-starred kitchens of Ritz Paris, while florist-turned-pâtissier Gérard Porte lends his aesthetic sensibility to a seasonal collection of revisited classics, including the Saint-Honoré or tarte tatin; a variety of shortbread cookies, chocolates, and candies; and a tea salon where you can (and should) dig into locally roasted coffee, Brittany ciders, or tea.
