The best wine bars Pays De La Loire

Laurent and Jade have teamed up to open this new wine bar, very clean, with a slightly industrial style, with its large exposed pipes, concrete wall and raw wood cuts. The slate wall gives the place a more authentic character, especially since coins are cleverly stuck there (apparently, a tradition on the banks of the Loire: a falling piece is an alert because the ground is too loose). Speaking of floors, take a look in the middle of the room: a transparent slab allows you to see the cellar. And there are bottles, from all over the world, except for rosé, which is often the unloved wine bar! Our two bosses are fine connoisseurs, do not hesitate, therefore, to let themselves be advised, they master grape varieties and appellations at their fingertips.

On the first floor of the restaurant Les Caudalies, we discover this pretty place: Le Décalé. Both a tapas bar and a wine bar, this place, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, is dedicated to beautiful bottles and beautiful boards to share with friends or colleagues,... You come here for afterwork evenings, cocktail dinners, wine tasting. This wine bar offers an à la carte menu of about forty wines by the glass and by the bottle from different regions of France and foreign countries. But also boards of cold meats and cheese, sandwiches, salads of the moment ... Seasonal nibbles are made from products selected by the chef. You will be delighted with the boards with evocative and well-smelling names: Oh la cochonne! (assortment of cold meats), Ah la vache ! (cheeses), Tapas bien! (tapas)... And we savour the sandwiches served on salad: Y'a pas de bê... (roast goat's cheese, tomato confit, dried duck breast), Are you hot Momo ? (brie de Meaux roasted with honey, Nantes bacon), We smoked Nemo ! (fresh country cheese with herbs, home-made gravelly salmon)... To discover!

Here's an address that, although hidden away in an industrial zone, has several assets, starting with its industrial-look setting, imagined by Jérémy and Marine. The restaurant, which doubles as a wine and tapas bar, also boasts quality home cooking and low prices. Whether you're looking for a menu of the day, or just getting off work for an aperitif-tapas with friends, La Romazière can be enjoyed without moderation. A fine range of wines: its wine library offers over twenty wines by the glass from all over the world, to accompany homemade sweet or savoury tapas.

In the Halles de la Vie, it is one of the bars that cannot be ignored in Saint-Gilles. A bar-apéro doubled with a cellar. All the bottles from the cellar are available at the bar! Only products from the cellar are sold here. Other assets: a vast terrace as if sitting on the water at high tide, with a magnificent panoramic view of the river and the port, about 400 wine references, a selection of wines by the glass, 150 whiskies, 50 rums and 300 different beers... And to accompany all this, boards of cold meats and cheeses, to enjoy the aperitif.

The name of this new wine bar, set to open on rue Lafayette in early 2023, leaves no doubt as to what this establishment is all about, and that's just as well! You'll appreciate the warm look of the wooden furniture surrounded by bottle racks: a room on the first floor, and a space upstairs. The two creators, both wine enthusiasts, offer wines from all grape varieties, from Bordeaux to Loire, via Rhône Valley or Languedoc wines, selected mostly directly from the winegrower, to be accompanied by charcuterie boards.

Le Onze is set in a former fisherman's house on the harbor's Jacobsen Jetty, with a warm, welcoming decor and a pleasant patio/terrace at the rear. In front of the façade is a terrace where you can enjoy the view of the port. A convivial place for a drink and a snack. Le 11 is open from morning to night, so you can enjoy breakfast or brunch for late risers, or accompany a plate of charcuterie, cheese or smoked fish, rillettes, oysters, tartines... with a good glass of wine.

A wine cellar, wine bar and restaurant concept: that's what this national brand, based in the Halles district of Paris, is all about. You'll find quality wines (essentially as natural as possible) packaged in bag-in-box (BIB). It's easy to think that nothing beats bottled wine, but you've got to get over your prejudices about BIBs, and Laurent will convince you to give it a try. The other good news is the high-quality, home-cooked cuisine on offer at weekends.

Chez les Garçons is the brainchild of Paul, Corentin, Tom and Romain. Paul and his acolytes decorated the walls of this trendy bar in midnight blue.... The lights are dimmed for an intimate evening atmosphere. In this cosy setting, you can sip on a selection of wines (some twenty in all), cocktails of the month, champagne, whisky and other liqueurs. For the most part, French and niche spirits. As for nibbles, there's a lovely trio of tapenades, a nice slice of truffled brie, pickles for aperitifs and charcuterie from the Basque region. As for sardines, you'll love the fish from La Perle des Dieux cannery in the Passage Pommeraye. A bar to visit in the afternoon or evening, for lovers or friends.

A counterpoint to all the lounge and design trends, Le Comptoir plays the retro card! The decor reflects the signature of the place: objects have a soul and naturally take their place, like this impressive collection of antique corkscrews. We love the tiles and their Roaring Twenties look. Elegance and charm are the hallmarks of this place, which boasts panoramic sea views. The jazzy musical ambience will appeal to those over 35. Behind the dining room, upstairs, is a "delicatessen" area, featuring local products.

In front of the casino stands a large glass building offering a light bath to the numerous customers who frequent L'Octave, a wine bar and a cellar. The place is classy and warm, it has 3 terraces and looks like the favorite bar in La Faute-sur-Mer. It stands out for its vast selection of wines, about 250 references, as well as about twenty wines by the glass, to be accompanied by homemade terrines, Spanish delicatessen, farmhouse cheese. Seventy references of spirits, including those of the Vrignaud distillery and top-of-the-line fruit juices.

Mathilde, sommelier, and Wolfgang, chef, have opened this superb wine barge in one of the city's most beautiful locations. On one side, the Quai des Carmes and its charming mansions. On the other, the river Maine and the emblematic château. Mathilde and Wolfgang offer a superb selection of wines, either on the terrace or in the cellar. With over 300 references of organic, biodynamic and natural wines from France and beyond, you're sure to find what you're looking for! With a gourmet board to boot, you're sure to have a great time on the water.

Adjacent to the cellar of the same name, take a moment to relax at the bar of La Tonnelle and enjoy the countless bottles ready to be uncorked and savored. With over 1,000 different references in the adjoining cellar, you're sure to find the nectar of your dreams. Wines from all horizons, as well as beers and whiskies, there's something for everyone here. And because we know you're gourmets, the tasting boards, garnished with local produce of course, are the perfect accompaniment. An ideal place to unwind.
