About
In Nantes, Ruddy Maisonneuve and Juliette Jovelin built P’tite Pomme around a simple idea: precise, generous and accessible market cooking that respects the seasons, in a neo-bistro on rue de Mayence. The name carries a family story: P’tite Pomme (little apple) was the nickname given to Ruddy Maisonneuve by his grandmother, to whom he pays tribute. The chef recalls memories of the vegetable garden, picking and cooking in a modest farming family. Trained in pastry and cooking, he worked for about ten years at LuluRouget, where he became sous-chef. The restaurant opened in March 2024, according to an interview with the chef. Juliette Jovelin visits the Nantes markets up to three times a week, and the menu changes about every two weeks. The warm neo-bistro with industrial touches is close to the Cité des Congrès.
