Mathieu, creamer-cheesemaker, and Nicolas, farmer-cheesemaker at the Bois Joubert farm in the Marais de Brière, opened their store in April 2022 in the Copernic district. In the window of Racines, passers-by can contemplate the range of cheeses maturing in their cellar: Basque ewe's milk tommes, abondance fermier, gouda mayennais, Ronde des Marais, Sort-Palud...

Ivan Garber has taken his marks at the bottom of the Talensac market. And who says young generation, also says novelties. New desires to treat seafood lovers. Ivan has specialized in fish called Ikejime. In fact, it is a Japanese method of slaughter, with a quick "sleep" to not stress the fish (or remove the nervous awareness) before working it. Taste, quality and preservation of the product are enhanced. Ivan gets his supplies from different fish markets: Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Les Sables-d'Olonne, Royan. His idea? To make people rediscover the different ways of eating good fish, locally and also to discover tasty varieties sometimes unknown to the general public. Cooked or raw fish for sushi or ceviche lovers. Here no "fish tail" but very wise advice!

The beautiful pastry shops and tea rooms in Nantes are on the rise! What a pleasure to discover the one of the two sisters, Marion and Margaux Vanneste, the creators of Rosemary "salon de pâtisserie" at 1 minute from the place Viarme. Rue des Hauts pavés more and more greedy... With, in particular, its nice restaurants... Margaux, the pastry chef trained at Anne-Sophie Pic's in London! amazes us with her creativity and sublime pastries! Everything is 100% handmade. We love the creations sublimated with aromatic herbs and spices, their signature... As for Marion, she is in charge of the reception, the sale (she has worked for Vincent Guerlais) and the running of this succulent pastry shop. You can also stop for a hot or cold drink in the small tea room. Taste the specialties! The Rosemary's, the lemon and rosemary pie revisited, where it all began... Crack for the Pavé Nantais: a wink to the street, a chocolate dessert with different textures (Guanaja chocolate mousse, almond hazelnut praline, crunchy coating...). Let's go for the buckwheat Paris-Brest, the fabulous choux, the Pavlova Citrus or the Baba Corse. Finally, we love the sweets of the delicatessen to take away (Pamplemousettes, fine cookies, chocolate bars, beggars, spreads). The place is greedy as one pleases! You must run to discover it.

Vincent Touzet is a butcher who is happy to do his job. He chose it late in life, after a career in the meat trade. But the desire for a manual trade, promoting local products, caught up with him. With a butcher's CAP in his pocket, he set up on his own in the Talensac market. His butcher's shop stands out for its unique know-how and the products it offers. Here, we buy raw carcasses, which are then carefully detailed in the authentic manner of the butchers of yesteryear. Want to travel and discover new tastes? Don't hesitate to sample our various Label Rouge-guaranteed meats: Blonde d'Aquitaine beef, Périgord veal, Pays d'Oc lamb, Bigorre black pork, organic turkey and suckling lamb. Taste our delicious butcher's specialties with seasonal specialties such as tartare au couteau, tête de veau, côte de boeuf affinée, roast beef with snail butter or Roquefort.

It is first of all for his baguette, the famous "Bagatelle" Label rouge, that we push the door of the baker of St JO. Sylvain Pasquier, for more than 11 years, has been our very own Marcel Pagnol in this renovated village of St JO. The bakery (ex-Fournil de St Jo) has moved 20 meters away in bright and brand new spaces on rue Barbara. 150 bakers in France offer this Bagatelle recipe and Sylvain is one of them! Natural leaven, slow kneading, traceability... all the ingredients are gathered to make an exceptional traditional baguette. It is in the same spirit that Sylvain elaborates his other breads. His 2 kilo wheel cake made in the old fashioned way is a great success. Wrapped in a cloth, it keeps for a week. His buckwheat bread and his bread with olive oil are also very popular. New: organic breads have made their appearance for our happiness with the big spelt or the organic wholemeal bread. As for the pastries and cakes, they are still 100% homemade with delicious croissants to start the day. The beautiful creations vary according to the season and are tempting. The Saint-Jo (cake with three chocolates), the kouign-amann, the small soft pastries, and many other sweets to enjoy. At lunchtime, a wide choice of classic or more original sandwiches made with chicken or beef marinades will delight people passing through or from the neighborhood. Let's go for gourmet snacks in the Roseraie and Beaujoire parks, before or after a nice stroll along the banks of the Erdre river, so close. Note the warm welcome and the free parking right next to the church whose bells ring out the hour of the snack!

The Oldü bakery opened in September 2022 in the Cens district under Ludo's leadership. He was awarded second prize in 2023 for his frangipane galette in the Loire-Atlantique best galette des rois competition. And his croissants won^1st prize from the Fédération des artisans boulangers the same year. We love Petit Oldü, a traditional bread that reinvents itself every day of the week. A nod is made to the grandfather with Papi Marcel's pie. The pastries are delicious, with numerous éclairs, not forgetting chocolate-hazelnut, caramel or raspberry-mango-passion fingers. As for flour, Label Rouge is used for traditional bread, while organic flour is used for other breads. Organic wholemeal bread, Pierrot bread..., everything here is gourmet!

Nous anti-gaspi Mercoeur is the second outlet in Nantes with the one on rue Pitre Chevalier. A brand born in Rennes in 2018. Stéphane and his team of heroic grocers save 60 tons of produce from waste every month! Ugly but still good vegetables, smoked trout with a label but too small, brioche vendéenne a little overcooked, run there to save them. Everything is sold here: fresh produce, rusks, cheese, ham scraps, chocolate, household products... From unsold produce to short use-by dates, we make the most of it. Our anti-gaspi approach is good for the wallet (on average, products are sold for 20% less) and good for the planet!

Originally from Pornic, the Dagnat cheese dairy has been in business for over 20 years, including 2 years at the Talensac market. The company is also present in La Baule, Pornic and Noirmoutier. Célia, in charge of the sales outlet, and Édouard, the manager, are both cheese ripeners. And they know how to work with cheese. You'll find a fine selection of French cheeses, with all the AOPs and a regional range including Curé nantais and Vendéens. The star homemade speciality? L'Herbillette, a goat's cheese matured in the cheese dairy, washed in Muscadet and lined with herbs. Don't miss the wide range of goat's cheeses and butters.

Cime is the ambitious project of Esther and Gregory. The three friends and associates chose this evocative name and the hot-air balloon that represents the brand because they intend to take you on a journey over the mountains and volcanoes whose slopes are ideal for growing coffee. This is Nantes' first artisanal specialty coffee roaster. In this pretty coffee workshop, the beans of prestigious Arabicas are selected with the utmost attention to quality, freshness and respect for producers and the environment. Sacks of green coffee occupy the back of the establishment, coming from Rwanda, Bolivia, Panama, Honduras, Ethiopia, El Salvador... thanks to the shortest possible circuits. And it's the Giesen roaster who roasts the beans in a way that's adapted to each production: the coffee beans gain in volume, lose their moisture, release their aromas... The beans are then left to rest for 24 hours to allow the gases to evaporate. This artisanal roasting process produces coffees of the highest quality, with transparent traceability from producer to cup. The coffees are sold as beans or ground to order, and are also available to catering professionals: Meraki and Arlot Cheng have already adopted them. Each coffee is accompanied by an explanatory sheet to learn more about its identity, profile and origin: for example, Finca El Encino from Honduras seduces with its milky texture and chocolate-hazelnut notes. Or Karambi from Rwanda, whose sweetness underlines its citrus notes. El Salvador's Divina Bourbon, whose natural drying process reveals notes of honey and caramel, will also surprise you. Tasting workshops are organized around the adobe Cupping Table where you can sample the coffee: first observe it, then smell it in its different forms: bean, ground, wet, before breaking it, then tasting it. Attentive to its structure, its density, its bitterness, its sweetness, its finish, we discover coffee in a new light thanks to Cime. A second address opened at 4, rue Santeuil in August 2023.

In 2017, cellar master Benoît Chaigneau founded Distiloire, an artisanal spirits producer that makes Gin 1924, Pastis Meskad and Vermouth Douce Folie from local wines. Some of the plants are organically grown and sourced locally (Val de Loire), and the alchemy occurs to create authentic spirits with a flavor far removed from that of industrial beverages. While gin is essentially made from juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root and chamomile, pastis features no less than twenty plants, including the essential licorice and anise, as well as Tonka bean, cardamom, Sichuan pepper, lemon balm and thorn shoots, a nod to its Vendée origins. Benoît is the only professional to produce these beverages in the department, and one of only a handful in the West. Now certified organic, the passionate cellar master won two prizes at the Concours aénéral Agricole Paris 2020: gold for Gin 1924 and silver for Pastis Meskad. The latest award: Spiced Rhum 5.5. Discover them to please yourself or others!

Opened in 2017, L'Autre Boulangerie is the domain of Adeline and her husband Sylvain Jégou: a lab open on the shop, shelves with organic fruit juice bottles and small bags of dry cakes, a fridge with sandwiches and homemade salads at lunchtime.

Manu, you may know him if you are a wine lover since he used to be a wine merchant in Nantes. Since 2017, Chez Manu is a wine bar, a sommelier and a cellar. We can deduce that the man knows what he is talking about. You can especially come and sit on the terrace, at the counter, or in the back room (surrounded by bottles). Ideal for an aperitif.

Located in the city centre of Nantes, the shop took its place in 2020 in this new location dedicated to groceries, with the drugstore section remaining in the original shop on rue de l'Hôtel de Ville. As its name suggests, Ô Bocal is all about jars. Jars that are brought in empty and filled on the spot with organic food (flour, sugar, rice, pasta, seeds, pulses, biscuits, dried fruit, aperitif mixes...). Take care to weigh them beforehand so that you only pay for their contents. Glass bottles (for liquid products) and tote bags (cloth bags) are also allowed. You can also find fruits, vegetables and cheese from local producers. At the head of Ô Bocal is Johanna and her team, who are convinced that packaging-free grocery stores are the future. We like the concept, the sober decoration and the jars made from recycled products which are available free of charge if you come empty-handed. We love the bulk bags stamped Ô Bocal. We love the regular organization of workshops to exchange tips and tricks and learn how to do it yourself to consume responsibly and move towards zero waste

Richard Delanoë's father passed on his passion to his sons: to Richard, who specialised in poultry 10 years ago, and to his brother who runs the Delanoë butcher's shop next door. You will find them at the bottom of the market. The key word for this poultry specialist is education: indeed, it is not enough to sell very good products, it is especially important to explain how to cook them to bring out all their flavours. And this is what Richard Delanoë does through the recipes listed on his website. Here the rabbits are farmed and come from the Bois de Boulle farm (near La Turballe). The poultry, selected in 3 different regions (Landes, Challans, Ain) all have a Label Rouge. The pigeon in blood, the Mesquer pigeon, i.e. not bled, is honoured on the tables of the greatest restaurateurs.

The customers are numerous to admire and to taste the best of the local and national cheese production thanks to a rigorous and constant quality of its good products. This cheese producer and creamer since 34 years in Machecoul, rather top-of-the-range, manufactures butters, creams, white cheeses, yoghurts, milky desserts (chocolate mousse, rice pudding, the famous cremet nantais, the big Swiss...) and gingerbread which made its reputation. Ludovic Condroyer is the manager of the Talensac shop. He and his team treat no less than 100,000 customers per year. Very demanding on the quality of their products, they regularly visit producers from other regions. Here, artisanal farmhouse cheeses take pride of place, as well as local producers: raw milk cheeses, Machecoulais, Pont d'Yeu, Grands Causses, Livarot and many other appellations for all tastes and budgets.

Opposite the church in the Saint-Félix district, right next to the famous little bakery, Le Petit Lieu is a new fishmonger's shop. Pierre welcomes us with a smile, accompanied by Paul for a fresh duo. We discover the beautiful stalls glistening with the day's catch of fish and shellfish from the coasts of Brittany, La Turballe, Le Croisic and the Vendée (Saint-Gilles and Sables-d'Olonne). A fish tank where children can peer through the glass at the movements of crabs, spider crabs or Breton lobsters (depending on arrivals) is always a hit! An outside sign announces the "catch of the day", with line-caught sea bass, hake, meagre or line-caught whiting that day. In short, a traditional catch that respects the seabed: a quality, local catch. Mackerel, monkfish, sardines and octopus rest on their ice... Pierre and Paul raise the fillets for you, and also transform the fish in a catering style, with plenty of ideas for aperitifs (fish terrine, haddock fillet, acras, fish bread) and a bottle of wine to take away. At the end of each week, you'll leave with the dishes of the moment: fish and chips or blanquette de la mer, for example. Oysters, lobsters, shrimps, everything reminds us of the open sea.

In this district, which is undergoing a major transformation from La Prairie au Duc on the Ile de Nantes, the inhabitants are delighted to be able to count on Laiterie Gilbert since November 2019 to stock up on cheese, cold meats, delicatessen and cream products. It is headed by Geoffroy Denaud, a Parisian who left finance to move to Nantes: a new city, a new life, a new store. This cheese enthusiast spent his holidays with farmers in the mountain pastures. It was the values of the company created in 1948 that made him decide to open this franchise: respect for the environment with local products, no preservatives, colourings or added flavours, a fair approach with producers, special attention to transport and packaging to limit the carbon footprint. Here you can discover a wide variety of cheeses such as tomme aux fleurs, beaufort, kaltbach, saint-marcellin and gorgonzola fondant with a spoon, but also goat's milk cheese from the farm of La Tremblaye, coulommiers from the Dongé cheese dairy, Revard soft cheese with truffles or even mont-d'or... As a fan of raclette, you will be glazed with a dozen flavours: smoked, peppery, mustard, blue, bear's garlic, walnut, morbier, truffle, mushroom, goat, Espelette sheep. Compose your raclette platter by mixing cheese and charcuterie. You can also buy potatoes and get a raclette machine. Geoffroy thought of everything, even bottles of wine to accompany your tasting! And many partnerships for your greatest pleasure with the Boutique des Éleveurs, Cavavin, Barapom or Éclats de riz?

Here is a charming store located in front of the Dobrée museum, emanating from the ATC (Aide au Travail des Cloîtres) which is a non-profit association supporting the work of monks and nuns since 1951. The sale of handcrafted items is used to finance production equipment and professional tools and to support the economic needs of the monasteries. Here you will find a great diversity: from delicatessen to beauty products, from interior decoration to religious art and clothing. Among the articles made in the abbeys, we can mention: liqueurs, wines, chartreuses and beers from Saint-Wandrille, jams from the abbey of Sept-Fons, honeys from the abbey of Sainte-Marie-du-Désert, crockery from Nemours, medals from Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre, candles from the Benedictine abbey of Bec-Helloin, and galettes and cookies from Campeneac (56). The very welcoming volunteers who ensure the sales are of good advice.

Fancy a real traditional Andalusian paella? In Nantes or the surrounding area? Look no further than the lively Sylvie Gomez, a native of Spain who has mastered the art of preparing this genuine Andalusian specialty! As a caterer, Sylvie can cook it in front of you (with prior reservation) for any event, be it for individuals or companies. The recipe is Spanish, but the products are local to guarantee freshness and inimitable Andalusian taste. Tapas and other Iberian specialties can be concocted by Sylvie. The laboratory is in Vertou and Sylvie travels throughout the region. Hasta pronto for a superb paella party! You can also order her fine Spanish olive oils from a family-run biodiversity farm. Good to know.

Installed on the boulevard Schuman, here is a pretty creamery. This cheese and cream shop reserves beautiful and good surprises, for sure, it delights our papillae! Quantities of cheeses all as appetizing as each other arranged under our amazed eyes: hard paste, soft heart, bloomy rind, ashy ..., there is for all tastes and the choice is Cornelian! Why not a little of this one, a little of that one? Gabin will be able to give you his precious advice. If you are looking for a little wine to accompany your shopping, you will find good bottles, especially from the Loire, but also a delicatessen corner, and cold cuts! Everything you need for a nice aperitif!

Fresh, local and responsible products: that's the quality and expertise you'll discover in the alleys of Talensac, at Pierre Hoflack's, the artisan smoker at Atelier de Mazerolles. Classified Natura 2000 for its rich biodiversity, the Mazerolles estate is located in Petit-Mars, twenty minutes from Nantes. In the marsh, hunting and fishing are strictly regulated, and all practices are ecological and sustainable. These flavors can be found in all their forms on the stalls of the famous Nantes market: hot and cold-smoked fish, fish roe and caviar, spreads and marinades, crayfish bisque. If you haven't tried them yet, don't miss the famous Nantes burgers. Smoked salmon is combined with crayfish, Espelette pepper or white truffle tarama. Ideal to tantalize your guests' taste buds as an aperitif!

With its evocative name, Les Bottes is a nice nod from Côme and Guillaume. For these two butchers who love good products, the reference to the countryside and the land is obvious. Here, they have chosen to promote meat in short circuits by valuing the work of the region's breeders with meats from rustic and local breeds raised in the open air for the most part less than two hundred kilometers from Nantes. Consuming meat in a responsible way is also a way to preserve agricultural biodiversity, the heritage of our land and traditional know-how. These two butchers offer excellent meats: sausages, crickets, hams, rillettes from Vendée, free-range chicken, beef brochettes, ribs, steaks... A very nice address! And a^second one will open in 2021 on rue Racine!

This new fromagerie-crèmerie, opening in autumn 2019, is nestled in a tiny boutique in the shape of an illuminated corridor. Here, Amélie shares her passion for cheeses, preferably made from raw, farmhouse milk, which she carefully selects directly from small producers all over France (Savoie, Auvergne, Pyrenees, Normandy, Val du Doubs...). A former journalist, she got the cheese bug from her great-uncle, who was a cheesemaker, and the catalyst for her conversion was interviewing shepherds returning from summer pastures in the Béarn region. The result is delicious, to say the least! You'll find plenty of ideas on how to treat your guests to an aperitif, end a meal or even a raclette evening... We can even prepare pre-cut cheese platters for you! Among the sixty or so cheeses on offer, let yourself be tempted by a Saint-Marcellin or a Saint-Félicien, crunchy Brie or even Gorgonzola by the spoonful! And if you're sweet and savory, try our cherry/chocolate/Espelette chili paste, which goes very well with hard cheeses like Etivaz. Discover also the fine grocery products and the selection of wines to accompany your meals.

Just a step away from the Place Viarme, in its continuity, by taking the small one-way street in this sympathetic district of the Hauts Pavés, it is to the 46th street that we recommend a stop, for a pause at the same time greedy and oenological. Here, no fighting, no paving stones are thrown into the pond but into the vineyard! This play on words is certainly a wink to the love of good wine embodied here by Barbara who runs the cellar, and who is also at the service, associated with Rémi his other passion in life, himself a chef. The soil, the stones, the earth (the pavement?), a selection of quality suppliers for a good bistro cuisine and it's won! And as the restaurant is also a wine cellar, it is the possibility on the same place to taste in afterwork these beautiful bottles on the spot or to take away! During the week at lunchtime, including Saturdays, Rémi delights us with his bistronomic formulas: we can enjoy duck ravioli, tuna tartar, and grilled octopus that he masters to perfection. The "good food" is also a menu of the chef's specialties such as his foie gras with pommeau de Bretagne or the salmon gravlax, or the VG, a curry of frika (potato pancake) and kasha (roasted buckwheat). Gourmets will try the chocolate fondant. The Cellar is the new place to enjoy afterwork drinks and discover Barbara's wines that she recommends with a will to democratize, to explain the origins: organic, biodynamic and natural wines. She tells us about her favorites and likes to thematize them: wines for every day, festive wines, wines of the winemakers. Chinon, Burgundy, but also Chablis, Sancerre and of course wines from the Loire region. High passion in this street of Hauts-Pavés! To be discovered!

After the success of an identical and initial grocery store in Lyon, it is in Nantes, a stone's throw from the South Station, in the heart of an eco-district that you will find this beautiful address. The smiling Chloé embodies the Nantes shop and we feel her happiness to welcome us in her fair trade grocery store (that's her name), a militant and radiant grocery store! The place is surprising. Two areas invite us to indulge in gourmet food: on the ground floor, the grocery store specializing in bulk, very complete with useful products for our daily lives. Upstairs, in a warm space with comfortable and colourful furniture, the lunch restaurant and the tea room! This light-filled place is perfect for stocking up on good seasonal fruits and vegetables as well as market produce, thanks to the market gardener's section at the entrance. Very fashionable and very practical, a large section devoted to bulk food is there: we also stock up on legumes, rice, lentils, buckwheat but also on good cereals, muesli... for our balanced breakfasts or snacks for the children. The zero-waste policy is also here again with hygiene or household cleaning products, by weight. We come with our own containers and refill them with laundry detergent, soap and dishwashing liquid. Bulk is also found with everyday products (flours, pasta) and other more exotic products (ginger, raisins) with a desire to clearly show French or foreign origins. We also have good soups, mustards, sauces cooked in jars, spices, but also a wide range of teas and herbal teas. The fresh products are also cheeses and a little creamery. Another originality of the place, it is also a place of restoration with every day at lunchtime a menu and short card 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 of the market, for such soft prices! You can enjoy this cuisine on the spot, to take away or on the beautiful wooden terrace outside. Please note, on Thursday (to be ordered on Tuesday), Poiscaille delivers fresh fish! There are also sublime homemade pastries, including some of the Bouchées Douces. For a good coffee, latte, hot chocolate, original fresh drinks, it's still here! You will have understood it, it is difficult to mention everything, it is a fair trade Ali Baba cave near the South station!

And a six! Here is indeed, on the brand new mezzanine of the Nantes train station inaugurated at the end of November 2020, the sixth boutique of Vincent Guerlais, a chocolate maker that we no longer present! What a pleasure to be able to buy the delicious pastries and no less tasty chocolates of this craftsman of Nantes gastronomy while admiring the breathtaking view of Nantes with the emblematic Lu tower! Before or after your train journey, pastries and special creations await you for breakfast or a snack, to be complemented by coffee, tea, fresh orange juice or other fruit juices to take away. Try for example the Bostock, a soft brioche with almond cream and a nectar of strawberry sengana from Alain Milliat and let yourself be taken to Brazil, Colombia or Venezuela with a bar of Pure Origine chocolate in its exotic case. A treat for the taste buds!

Ivan Garber has taken his marks at the bottom of the Talensac market. And who says young generation, also says novelties. New desires to treat seafood lovers. Ivan proposes in particular fish labelled "Ikejime". In fact, it is a Japanese method of slaughtering, with a quick "sleep" of the fish, to avoid stressing it: we remove the nervous awareness of the fish before working on it. Thus, the taste, quality and preservation of the product are enhanced. Ivan gets his supplies from different fish markets: Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Sables-d'Olonne, and also Royan. His idea? To make people rediscover the thousand and one flavors of good fish, as local as possible! He is also keen to help people discover tasty varieties that are sometimes unknown to the general public. Fish to cook or raw for the amateurs, to transform into sushi or ceviche... Here no "fish tail" but very wise advice!

Aude, Stéphane and Christophe have created a nice grocery store in the Beaujoire district in Nantes, in a district in full mutation. Here, there was not yet really any shop of this type with a 100% responsible vocation. You can find bulk products, with glass tanks where you can take according to your needs, by weight, and products coming from short circuits, notably from nearby farms (Ferme Blanc, Limeur), organic products (Nantes hillsides), Breton artisanal ice creams with original and traditional flavors and lots of good salty and sweet ideas for the aperitif (salty granola, almonds, cashew nuts...), but also some local dishes cooked under glass. This is the new address in the area for bulk, cereals, legumes and for bulk and recyclable cosmetics. Note that on Friday mornings, you can find pancakes and galettes but beware, they go fast. The poppies grow on healthy and organic land. This grocery store too! Nice welcome and beautiful spaces for this pretty new neighborhood flower.

This name evokes a place from another era, a discreet room that nevertheless abounds in provisions and hidden nuggets: wines, preserves, jars... we would gladly spend a whole time in the cellar! Installed since the beginning of September, Le Cellier d'Adélie et Olivier is a grocery store, wine cellar and caterer. Dishes, terrines and other delicacies are prepared in the kitchen. On Sundays, the traditional chicken is served with chips or pommes dauphines (by reservation). For lunch or to stock up on food, come and visit the Cellier!
