L'ÉPICERIE ÉQUITABLE

After the success of an identical and initial grocery store in Lyon, it is in Nantes, a stone's throw from the South train station, in the heart of an eco-district that you will find this beautiful address. The smiling Chloé embodies the Nantes store and we can feel her happiness to welcome us in her fair trade grocery (that's her name), a militant and radiant grocery! The place is surprising. Two spaces invite us to indulge: on the first floor, the grocery store specialized in bulk is very complete with useful products for our daily life. Upstairs, in a warm space with comfortable and colorful furniture, the lunch restaurant and the tea room! This brightly lit space is perfect for stocking up on good seasonal fruits and vegetables, just like at the market, thanks to the market garden section at the entrance. Very fashionable and practical, a large section dedicated to bulk food is here: we also stock up on legumes, rice, lentils, buckwheat but also good cereals, muesli... for our balanced breakfasts or snacks for the children. The zero waste policy is also here with the hygiene or home care products, by weight. You come with your containers and you fill up with laundry detergent, soap and dishwashing liquid. Bulk is also found with everyday products (flours, pasta) and other more exotic ones (ginger, raisins) with a will to clearly display the French or foreign origins. We also offer good soups, mustards, sauces cooked in jars, spices, but also a wide range of teas, herbal teas. The fresh products are also cheeses and some dairy products. Another originality of the place is that it is also a restaurant with a short menu every day at lunchtime with the sandwich of the day (hot with melted cheese or cold), a salad or the soup of the day according to the mood of the chef and products from the market, for very low prices! You can enjoy this cuisine on site, to take away or on the beautiful wooden terrace outside. Note that on Thursdays (to be ordered on Tuesday), Poiscaille delivers fresh fish! There are also sublime homemade pastries, including some from Bouchées Douces. For a good coffee, latte, hot chocolate, original cold drinks, it's still here! You will have understood, it is difficult to mention everything, it is a fair trade version of Ali Baba's cave near the South Station! Finally, this counter is also "online", you can order and pick up your purchases to save time on www.epicerie-equitable.com.
