2 Best Restaurants in Brittany, France

Don't be fooled by this unassuming bistro's laid-back atmosphere and streamlined Scandinavian decor; here you'll discover some of the most deliciously inventive (and well-priced) cuisine to be found in Nantes. Fresh, local, and organic products are a big part of the alchemy, but it's the culinary wizardry of chef Léo Huet that really sets this dining room apart. There's plenty of deliciousness for vegetarians here too, and at €16 or €23 for the three-course menus at lunch and €25 or €35 at dinner, this is one of the city's best deals.

Behind the marina on a quiet street just far enough from the bustle of the port, this petite duplex restaurant is an absolute favorite in town. This is seasonal food at its best, and the seafood-centric menus are revised daily according to the morning catch and whatever vegetables are pulled from the garden—even the bread is homemade. Witness the artistic dishes parading from the kitchen, each more beautiful than the next. It's popular with locals and the vacation crowd, so it's a good idea to reserve ahead.
