This haven of peace for uncompromising palates is the work of two brothers: chef Charles Bernabé (ex-second chef to two-Michelin-star chef Christophe Hay) and Tristan (front of house), formerly of Frenchie. The terracotta décor is modern with pure lines and the cuisine sensational thanks to a superb use of skill and some daring associations. The wine list is built to ensure impeccable pairings and service is top-notch. Now one of the most sought-after restaurants in Nantes, Les Cadets was deservedly awarded its first Michelin star in 2023.
