Pickles, Modern restaurant in Nantes, France
Description
Pickles is a modern restaurant in Nantes that sources ingredients directly from farmers and producers across the region. The menu changes regularly to reflect what is available and fresh at different times of year.
History
British chef Dominic Quirke opened Pickles in 2014 on Rue du Marais after spending time learning French cooking techniques and regional recipes. That background continues to shape how the restaurant approaches its food today.
Culture
The kitchen works with local farmers, seaweed harvesters, breweries, and wine producers to shape menus that reflect the people and landscape around Nantes. These partnerships show how food connects the community to what grows and is made nearby.
Practical
The restaurant opens Tuesday through Saturday with lunch from noon to 2:30 p.m. and dinner starting at 7:30 p.m. It is small and fills up quickly, so booking ahead is important.
