Food program: Inventive small plates and a dessert-led card

Tip: Sommelier Guillaume Claireau runs the glass list; lunch happens Wednesday to Friday only, so an evening booking is the safer plan.

Melon ★ 4.4

Wine bar€€GraslinTue-Fri 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-21:00; Sat 12:00-14:30; closed Sun-Mon

Melon takes its name from Melon de Bourgogne and backs it with more than 200 organic references on Rue Copernic in Nantes, poured by its sommelier.

Signature pour: Antoine Delaunay Muscadet Sèvre et Maine at €5 the glass

Wine focus: Over 200 organic references chosen by sommelier Pierre Brunelli

Food: Bistro plates, lunch set menus, umami-leaning cooking

Tip: Julia Custodio cooks the short card while Pierre Brunelli pours; the house shuts Sunday and Monday and skips Saturday dinner.

Bras de Fer ★ 4.4

Wine bar€€Île de NantesTue-Sat 15:00-02:00; closed Sun-Mon

Bras de Fer fills a former gallery on Boulevard de la Prairie au Duc in Nantes with natural wine, exhibitions, concerts and a courtyard garden.

Signature pour: Les Enfants Sauvages, the house melon and chardonnay blend

Wine focus: Natural growers plus the house cuvées from an urban winery nearby

Food: Vendée charcuterie and farmhouse cheese boards

Tip: Glasses open near €4 and bottles from €26; the Ferchaud brothers press their own wine less than a kilometre away.

Le Mirza ★ 4.3

Wine bar€€TalensacMon 17:00-00:00; Thu-Sat 17:00-02:00; Sun 17:00-22:00; closed Tue-Wed

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 ★ 4.3

Wine barDoulonMon 17:00-23:00; Tue 14:00-23:00; Wed-Thu 14:00-00:00; Fri 14:00-02:00; Sat 17:00-22:00; closed Sun

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

Tip: Drinking a shop bottle on the spot adds a €6 corkage; the back room runs concerts and karaoke on quiet weeknights.

Le Brocéliande ★ 4.2

Wine bar€€MalakoffMon-Wed 11:00-00:00; Thu-Fri 11:00-02:00; Sat 18:00-02:00; Sun 17:30-00:00

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 ★ 4.2

Wine bar€€GraslinTue-Fri 17:30-22:30; Sat-Sun 11:30-14:30; closed Mon

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.
