Pépé Guinguette
Pépé Guinguette is a restaurant housed in a blue and white barge moored on the Erdre River near Saint Michel Bridge. The floating vessel contains dining areas with views of the water and surrounding Nantes architecture.
The barge was previously known as Bretagne and operated as a traditional crêpe restaurant before its transformation. The vessel then evolved into its present form as a contemporary French dining establishment on the water.
The name reflects the French guinguette tradition of casual riverside dining venues with a relaxed spirit. The floating setting and informal service style keep this heritage alive for visitors exploring Nantes today.
The restaurant is accessible from the riverside via a ramp or short gangway to board the vessel. The bobbing motion of the barge is part of the experience, so visitors should be comfortable with gentle water movement.
The kitchen features regional ingredients like mackerel rillettes and hand-cut beef tartare, prepared with seasonal variations by the chef. These preparations reflect a personal approach to cooking that treats ingredient sourcing and technique as equally important.
