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 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!
