O Deck, Restaurant and bar on Loire River in Nantes, France
O Deck is a restaurant and bar located on a permanently moored boat called the Nantilus on the Loire River in Nantes. The venue offers dining and drinks with views of the river and the city's waterfront, with seating both indoors and outside.
The boat was built at Saint-Nazaire shipyards and traveled up the Loire River to Nantes, where the restaurant opened in 2011. This site is part of the port district's transformation from industrial area to cultural destination.
The venue reflects how Nantes transformed its former industrial waterfront into a meeting place that keeps the city's maritime past alive. Diners experience this connection to water and shipping directly as they eat.
The best time to visit is on warm days when outdoor seating is fully open and views across the water are best enjoyed. The boat is easily reached from Île de Nantes but parking nearby is limited.
The ship was originally designed as an inland vessel and functions while permanently at anchor as a floating extension of city life. This unusual repurposing of a transport ship shows how Nantes creatively reuses harbor objects.
