Pickles

This bright, industrial-style restaurant run by British chef Dominic Quirke is all about indulgence and bold flavours. He likes to come out of his kitchen and chat with diners (in English!) as the pop/rock soundtrack plays. Based in Nantes for the last 10 years, his delicious modern cuisine is inspired by his travels in Asia and his excursions into the surrounding countryside to visit organic market gardeners. His dishes include tourte de volaille au vin jaune (puff pastry chicken pie); Vendée pork with beetroot, kale and chard; and cauliflower, seaweed and kasha coulibiac with shiitake mushrooms. There's no shortage of vegetarian options either.
