In a setting where traditional fish markets are closing one after another, like the recent closure of the Paon fish market, a Nantes institution for over two centuries, the arrival of L’Étal feels like a culinary event.
From the stall to your plate in the blink of an eye
The concept is simple but incredibly effective:
*You choose your fish or seafood directly from the stall
*The chef prepares it just the way you like
*And you enjoy it on-site, comfortably, in a setting designed to blend freshness with friendliness
It’s a bit like mixing a neighborhood fish market, a seaside restaurant, and the freshness of a market, all just a stone's throw from the Passage Pommeraye.
A taste of Lorient right in Nantes
Originally from Lorient, L’Étal has already built a wonderful reputation in Morbihan for the quality of its products, its transparency about sourcing, and its original concept. Freshly caught fish, shellfish, crustaceans… here, the product isroi, and short supply chains are favored. The team promises a relaxed yet demanding atmosphere, reminiscent of modern seaside bistros.
It’s also a response to a genuine desire from the people of Nantes: to consume in a more local, fresher way, with advice, passion, and a delicious dish waiting for them.
See you this summer on rue des Carmes
The location is already familiar to the people of Nantes; it’s the spot that housed The North Face store, which will be moving to rue Crébillon in 2024. A complete transformation is on the horizon to welcome this new, hybrid, and delicious venue. Opening is expected before the end of summer.
