Thelma

Jean-François Pantaleon is the chef. Thelma is a bistrot in Nantes. It is the second address opened by him, located a few metres from Roza, the main house, in the Graslin district near the Dobrée archaeology museum. It serves as a perfect, less formal complement to his gastronomic table. Thelma is recognised in the Michelin Guide as a Selected establishment. A vintage-style bistrot maintains a friendly, convivial vibe. Decor and service are casual and welcoming, suited to relaxed family meals. The kitchen focuses on simple, traditional French cooking executed with care. The menu includes an affordable midday set and, in the evening, a carte that adds plates to share. Dishes are designed to be enjoyed without ceremony. Typical suggestions displayed on the mirrors include egg mayonnaise, terrine, tête de veau and veal chop with mashed potato, with shareable plates featured on the evening carte.
