Description

Lucie Berthier Gembara often has a full house at her stylish bistro on the ground floor of this handsome 18C building. From her time working with Gérald Passedat and Alexandre Mazzia, she has retained a clear sense of creativity and a distinct taste for Mediterranean influences. Her small plates are full of surprises; distinctly playful, they go against the grain in a spirit of unapologetic indulgence. The set menu comes in "animal" and "vegetable" versions at lunch and dinner, with a longer format in the evening.

Review summary

Sépia in Nantes is praised for its refined French cuisine, focusing on organic, seasonal ingredients and creative flavor profiles. Guests frequently commend the excellent wine pairings, attentive service, and intimate, floral atmosphere. However, some reviews note inconsistencies in meal pacing and occasional over-service. A minority of diners expressed disappointment regarding portion sizes relative to cost, with isolated reports citing serious quality issues. While most visitors enjoy a sophisticated culinary experience, potential guests should be aware of mixed feedback on value and service consistency.
