Lamaccotte

Lamaccotte is a modern, semi-gastronomic restaurant in Nantes' historic centre, a few steps from the Cathedral on Place Saint Pierre. Its name, a longtime nickname from mentor Jean Yves Guého, embodies a philosophy of cultivating tradition while innovating. The team pairs discreet, convivial service with culinary rigour and offers structured tasting menus, a concise à la carte and weekday lunch formula. Recognised (Michelin: Cuisine moderne, Selected), Lamaccotte operates takeaway menus and an épicerie fine with reheatable dishes; a dedicated sommelier guides the wine programme. The dining room is luminous, warm and cosy; architects Les Rapporteuses designed bespoke furniture, a terrazzo wall, pastel colours and rounded forms. The kitchen offers market-driven, seasonal cuisine from locally sourced products; the team respects seasons, products and the people behind them, and sources daily at Talensac with local suppliers. Maxime Fillaut is chef. Voiles de lieu jaune, crème de butternut et ricotta; Epaule d’agneau confite, navets glacés au miel et citron vert; Noix de Saint-Jacques, chou-fleur rôti au curry, émulsion coco et citron Calamansi; Tagliatelles de céleri-rave, héliantis rôti, émulsion parmesan; Wellington de bœuf (seasonal takeaway menu).
