Emmanuel Moreau, a fervent defender of short circuits, created La Petite Soupe in 2021. We like the spirit: artisanal production, originality of soups and spreads, and all this with as few intermediaries as possible between the producer and the consumer, favouring local and organic products. He produces tasty soups with original flavors. We fell in love with the delicious mogette/peanut soup and the Coffee Pot with its original combination of pumpkin and coffee. 100% vegetable products! Discover the foügra vendéen (mogette spreadable), ideal on a toast.

This store, which opened on Place du Pilori in 2018, has been in business for over 25 years!

From the name of the olives used to the date of harvest and the history of the producer, you know what you're tasting: French, Italian, Croatian, Portuguese, Spanish, Greek... You'll also find tapenades, sauces and accessories. And for those with a green thumb, let yourself be tempted by potted olive trees!

With its chocolate/pistachio facade topped by a mill tower, it's impossible to miss Séverine and David Seigneur's boulangerie-pâtisserie.

Bread is baked all day long, and there's also a snack range. Among the pastries, try one of the specialties, baba.

Founded in 1842, the Duchess Anne is a gourmet institution, for the fine mouths of Saumur and Clisson. In a soft and refined setting, in a vintage 19th century style, the small tea room, with its modest but delicate atmosphere, often sees its tables taken over by the people of Saumur, so well suited is it to the delight of a sweet break, such as a pastry or homemade chocolate. For 25 years, the Godineau family has been in charge; in 2010, the parents left the keys to the house to their son, François, and his wife, Céline. In this way, the tradition is perpetuated, while quality is always present. To be convinced, just try the macaroons and other chocolates, the creations of individual or family cakes as well as the divine Christmas logs, you will quickly know why! Viennese pastries and petits fours are also excellent: something to satisfy all tastes. Another good point is the reasonable prices charged, especially for the quality of the products. Everything is in place to have a good time.

There were few bakeries in this part of the island of Nantes. In the summer of 2019, thanks to the generosity of Internet users and to the delight of lovers of good bread, La Maison Boulangerie was born. It is in this luminous and rough waxed concrete setting that Pierre-Antoine Arlot, Chin-Jy Cheng and their team of passionate baristas, bakers and pastry cooks are busy. Graduated as an organic artisan baker at the International School of Baking, Pierre-Antoine has worked in beautiful houses throughout Europe. At La Maison, the bread is artisanal, organic, leavened and made on slow fermenting millstone flour. As for the coffees, they are roasted by Allpress, percolator and gentle extraction. The teas are selected by Patchouli & Co., a Nantes-based tea-springer. In the shop window, the breads are beautiful and the crumbs delicate. On the premises, the coffees are tasted and processed according to the rules of the art. In the heart of the creative district, delicacies inspired by international traditions will give you inspiration!

What's the link between a bug and a brewery? A passion: for animals and for the art of brewing beer. Passionate, the owner and brewer knows her stuff. You can enjoy a fruity beer of between 3 and 8% alcohol in the tape room (bar area), with a direct view of the vats. You can also take away some pretty labeled cans (with animals on them, of course). And if you want to know everything there is to know about the beer-making process, we recommend a visit, which of course ends with a tasting.

For real gourmets, coming out of this shop the empty basket is almost a challenge! Camel Delicatessen/Les 5 Sens (formerly the charcuterie de la Visitation) has not only one of the most extensive charcuterie departments in the city, but also of impeccable quality: dry Corsican hams, ham on the bone, homemade white ham, chicken rillettes, grandmother pâté with poultry liver... The ready-made meals section also makes you salivate with its forest guinea fowl legs, its old-fashioned pork tenderloin, asparagus risotto or crispy rabbit with prunes. But what is most appealing here is the originality and finesse of the cold preparations, worthy of a real gourmet restaurant: a zucchini bodega with smoked salmon and fresh cheese, a thousand Tian-style vegetable leaves, sweet potato puree with hazelnuts, quinoa and speck nuggets. Sweet tooth lovers can enjoy an amazing Kumquat-yuzu cream (a small citrus fruit of Asian origin) or a caramel milk mousse, cashew nuts, crushed hazelnuts and its cream. Great art!

It was in March 2020 in Carquefou that the young farmer Alexis Chauvelon created his gourmet farm. This young market gardener grows carrots, potatoes, chard, courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes and strawberries in a reasoned way... Located between the chicken and goat pen and the market garden greenhouses, this new wooden building houses a shop that offers various quality farm products direct from producers, most of them local. The fruit and vegetables are grown using integrated farming methods and the aim is to convert to organic farming in the future. We love the Comice pears from Carquefou, the Fuji apples and the yellow kiwis from Saint-Julien-de-Concelles, the XXL version of quinces (with a recipe for a pie as a bonus!), for this anthology of cucurbits, for these sweet potatoes... In addition to the fresh produce, you will find beef from the Guillauminerie du Gaec le Bois Guillaume in Ligné, but also poultry from the Ferme des Marais in Haute-Goulaine and pork from the Ferme de Bel-Air in La Meilleraye-de-Bretagne as well as from the Maison Bodet in Le Landreau.

As you will have noticed, La Ferme Gourmande lives up to its name! In the summer of 2021, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and vegetables will be picked, and a workshop will be set up to transform the crops into jams, ice creams and soups...

A real craftsman with 100% local and home-made products has settled on the route de Vannes. Where it is not so easy to find real bakers, where the bakery is really on site. Go there with your eyes (almost) closed. But open them wide to admire the good breads, pastries, sandwiches and other sweets made by Florian (aka Flo) and his team. Here you can find good bread kneaded on the spot, wholemeal, spelt, seeded, traditional or seeded balls and baguettes. You will love the homemade tarts, raspberry passion, amandine, lemon meringue or flan. You can also enjoy the chocolate eclairs, hazelnut, caramel and salted butter or, depending on the season, lemon or other natural flavors! The pastries are sublime and Florian has a crush on the beautiful madeleines that make us fall back into childhood. Of course, you will find the sandwiches of the day, various quiches and other pizzas. A beautiful address.

A new wine shop has opened in Nantes, with a name that's nothing short of muscular: Bras de Fer! Run by 3 partners, all wine experts or oenologists, their cellar is all about quantity, but above all, quality. 95% natural wines to taste on the premises or to take away. They also produce their own wine: the grapes are harvested in the vineyards of Nantes and Anjou, and then vinified by their partner l'Agronaute. The dining room is also very pleasant, with its mezzanine and great outdoor courtyard, ideal for a stroll in summer. And let's not forget their great program (concerts, exhibitions, DJ sets) and local produce, such as Painbar bread and Vendeen ham. A real treat!

The story begins in the 1920s. Originally, a lady used a simple cookie cutter to make wafers for herself: the Avel Vor (sea wind). The business takes its current form under the leadership of Gérard Jadeau who widens the range to include almost all the products of traditional Breton pastry making. Bring back in your suitcases madeleines, quatre-quarts, kouign amanns, Breton fars, caramel spreads, caramel sweets, pancakes and galettes? The biscuit factory can be visited.

This pastry shop has an excellent reputation. Here, the flagship products are macaroons (about fifteen flavours) and chocolate, but alsopasteis de nata, a Portuguese flan, and apple cabbage, which earned Julien de Sousa an award! He learned his trade with the master of macaroons, Pierre Hermé. In the shop, fine pastries, ice creams, personalized cakes such as wedding cakes, but also marshmallows, fruit jellies, spreads, chocolates... And all homemade!

In this good pastry shop next to Les Halles, everything is appetizing! An institution handed down to Guillaume's daughter Chloé.
