Sølheim brings a Nordic bistro to the Olivettes quarter of Nantes, with house gravlax and smoked fish poured alongside living wines in a pale-wood room.
Signature: House gravlax, Nordic breads, Sapas
Tip: Evenings run on sapas, the house's shared plates; the room trades Monday to Friday only, with the kitchen back on at 17:30.
Bercail, little sister to Broussaille, builds €8 sandwiches on organic sourdough on Rue des Olivettes in Nantes, with seasonal daily specials.
Try: Organic sourdough sandwiches
Tip: The sunny terrace is the draw in fine weather; sandwiches sell out before the posted close on busy Saturdays.
Le Zygobar is the small live room of the Olivettes quarter in Nantes, with blues and soul gigs and open jam sessions against a beer-led bar list.
Tip: Gigs are usually free and the room is tiny, so arrive early on jam nights if you want to sit.
