About

Les Cadets is run by two brothers, on rue des Hauts-Pavés in Nantes. Charles Bernabé is in the kitchen, after several years as Christophe Hay’s second at La Maison d’à Côté; Tristan Bernabé runs the dining room and chooses the wines. The restaurant won its MICHELIN star in 2023, just one year after opening. There is no menu to choose from here. The cooking is local and briny: a single menu, changed every week, according to what the region’s market gardeners and fishermen deliver. At lunch, from Tuesday to Friday, a €41 menu lets you discover the restaurant at a gentle price. In the evening, the “Carte Blanche” menu comes in five or seven courses, at €85 and €105. The dining room is simple and warm, and service is relaxed. The menu can be adapted for allergies and special diets, as long as you mention them when booking. An address for a dinner for two or a special occasion, without the formality of the grand houses.
