Le Mirza is the neo-retro natural wine counter on Rue Châteaubriand in Nantes, casson tiling, Formica and shared plates until two in the morning.
Signature pour: Ker Ma melon wine at €4.50 the glass
Wine focus: Natural French and imported bottles, glasses from €4.50
Food: Shared plates off the counter, flatbreads and tarte tatin
Tip: Three former Brocéliande colleagues run it, so the pouring is chatty and cheap; the bar stays shut Tuesday and Wednesday.
Vin te faire boire turned a former PMU on Route de Sainte-Luce in Nantes into a cave of close to 300 natural, organic and biodynamic bottles.
Signature pour: A Loire bottle from Benoît Courault or François Saint-Lô
Wine focus: Close to 300 natural, organic and biodynamic references
Food: Artisanal charcuterie, farmhouse cheese, sardine fillets

Le Brocéliande has been Véronique's tiled bistro on Rue Préfet Bonnefoy in Nantes for two decades, natural wine poured across three small terraces.
Signature pour: Panique Générale gamay at €5.50 the glass
Wine focus: Natural wines, glasses from €4.50
Food: Midday bistro formulas, evening plates to share
Tip: Midday formulas run €19 to €24 and evening plates €7 to €18; Saturday opens at 18:00, so it is a night rather than a lunch.
La Bourriche works one Nantes idea hard on Rue Scribe, oysters from selected producers matched glass for glass with Muscadet and Loire whites.
Signature pour: Muscadet by the glass with half a dozen oysters
Wine focus: Muscadet and regional Loire whites poured against shellfish
Food: Oysters from selected producers and local seafood
Tip: Weekdays are an evening service only; the weekend switches to an 11:30 to 14:30 lunch, which is when the counter is busiest.
Le Cellier opened on Rue Maréchal Joffre in Nantes in 2024, a traiteur counter and grocery holding over 200 natural, organic and biodynamic wines.
Signature pour: A natural white with the house poultry terrine
Wine focus: More than 200 natural, organic and biodynamic references
Food: Traiteur counter, terrines, charcuterie and croquetas
Tip: Olivier Hochedez and chef Adélie Delajot make a poultry terrine with Muscadet and savory; open bottles are drunk out on the terrace.
Tartines et Bouchons is the bistro and wine bar on Rue d'Auvours in Nantes, tartines and plain bistro plates against a Burgundy and Loire list.
Signature pour: A Loire white by the glass with the day's tartine
Wine focus: An eclectic list leaning Burgundy and the Loire Valley
Food: Tartines and simple bistro plates
Tip: Dinner runs Tuesday to Friday only and the house takes three weeks of congés in August, so ring before a late-summer visit.
