Le lion et l’agneau

Le Lion et l'Agneau is a restaurant in Nantes featuring exposed stone walls, petroleum blue accents, and a counter facing an open kitchen. Diners can watch meal preparation from their seats throughout the space.

The name comes from the coat of arms of Auch, the hometown of chef Thierry Lebé, who trained at respected restaurants in France and Washington. This link reflects his journey before opening his own establishment.

The kitchen draws on southwestern French culinary traditions, sourcing Janzé chicken, Pénestin mussels, and other ingredients from regional producers. Diners experience how the chef connects with local suppliers to bring regional flavors to the table.

The restaurant operates Tuesday through Saturday with both lunch and dinner service. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when seating can be limited.

The restaurant includes a 12-person communal table for shared dining, which is uncommon in modern restaurants. This arrangement encourages connections between diners and creates a social dining experience.
