"Ulala!
I'm vegetarian and they went out of their way to make a refreshing, original and incredibly flavourful dish! SIMPLY WOW!
The dessert was to die for !"

"Great place for a traditional French dinner. It used to have a Michelin star. The server spoke English well and explained the concept of each of the chefs dishes. We sat in the back where you can see the food being prepared and I highly recommend that."

"Aside from my two main challenges (trying every Michelin Star in Paris and every 3 stars in France) I also try all the stars a région or a city. I did Lille and Vendée. Now, I’ll do Nantes and around. So it’s the first one I try there.
What’s interesting here?
It’s in between bistronomic and bourgeois. The setting is more Bistronomic, but with decent space, confortable etc… so a bit more bourgeois. The cuisine is also very deeply rooted in the more bourgeois (with a spice of traditional) than bistronomic. So it’s a bit disturbing but none the less pleasing, especially on the salty where he’s more at ease. I did have a Terre/Mer dish by the way.
Now, look at the prices, especially the lunch. You have a whole menu in a Michelin Star for less than a gas tank refill… So one should factor this in when judging this restaurant. And I know that you could compare it to the Michelin in Vendée, but it wouldn’t be fair because you would compare a restaurant in the countryside against one in a national city center.
So it does deserve its star."

Les meilleurs restaurants à Nantes
Piloté par le chef Jean-François Pantaleon depuis 2017, ce restaurant de Nantes gastronomique intimiste et feutré est surplombé par une charmante mezzanine. Originaire des pays de la Loire et passionné par son terroir, le chef magnifie les produits locaux autour d’une cuisine simple et raffinée : tête de veau, haddock, pickles et estragon ; volaille de Janzé, carottes rôties, ail des ours et mostarda et enfin un mille-feuille à la vanille de Sambava, caramel et cacahuètes. Une belle carte des vins pensée par un sommelier vient asseoir le menu dégustation proposé le soir.
A culinary tour of Nantes
Roza, a very chic establishment, has vertical lighting on open-brick walls. Chef Jean-François Pantaléon, who returned to Nantes 18 months ago from Paris to open Roza, describes his efforts as “French cuisine, revisited”. Pantaléon works with sous-chefs to generate ideas, the best of which are found à la carte and include fermented vegetables such as cucumber kimchi served with grilled octopus and Argentine chimichurri sauce.

His winning combination?. Exceptional ingredients (local, obviously), precision and intensity, the perfect balance of flavours, and elegant presentation.
The historical city of Nantes
There are so many tantalising places to eat in Nantes: add one Michelin starred Roza to your must-visit list, L’Aménité (read about Richard Cornet and his creative, ‘bistronomic’ dishes sourced from boutique producers), or the art nouveau décor of La Cigale. Be surprised and delighted by the ever-creative Petit Boucot, and not forgetting the café-grocer-canteen par excellence of Sain.
