Specialty coffee shops Loire-Atlantique

Élé is the tasty, coffee-flavored project of Estelle Léon, coffee roaster and enologist. In her artisanal roasting workshop, Estelle, who was trained by Gloria Monténégro, the founder of the Academy of Coffeeology, offers us exceptional coffees. Élé's demanding selection values the taste and the work of the producers with micro-lots and limited editions of pure origins. You can discover the full-bodied and persistent Guatemalan vintages or the mineral and acidic aromas of El Salvador and many others such as Finca Maria from Colombia or the sweet Klem Pica Pau from Brazil, or the succulent, proud and aromatic highland coffees from Ethiopia, such as the Guji Natural, complex with its tropical fruit flavors. Élé also offers a wide range of equipment and accessories to prepare, preserve and enjoy your coffee: the Gem's, the aeropress, the Skerton coffee grinder... Finally, Élé offers workshops that respect the seasonality of coffee with its four menus (spring, summer, autumn, winter) and its two workshops: the first tasting "Discovering gentle methods" to discover the different techniques (aeropress, drip...) and the history of coffee, and the second workshop "The nose of coffee and cupping" which is an introduction to aromas and coffee extraction.

Run by Vincent, this brasserie-caterer located next to Les Halles celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2022! In addition to the menu of the day served at lunchtime during the week, L'Océanic offers a short but varied menu of meats, grills, tartars and carpaccios, fish, mixed salads and fish & chips to be enjoyed on the large sunny terrace. For burger lovers, there is the Curé Nantais burger, but the establishment is famous for its excellent mussels and French fries with Oceanic sauce! Theme evenings: paella, sauerkraut of the sea, couscous, calf's head...
