Description

In this warm buzzy eatery, chef Romain Bonnet crafts creative surprise menus of Asian inspiration: the ‘omija’ is a Korean fruit, known as the five-flavour berry due to its unique combination of sweet, sour, bitter, salty and pungent flavours. Bonnet is unswerving in his dedication to taste, illustrated by green ‘kombujime’ asparagus flanked by sesame-flavoured ice cream, or squid from la Turballe marinated in Korean pepper. Virtuoso craftsmanship, gutsy stocks and addictive, big-boned sauces. The mainly organic produce is painstakingly sourced (common shrimp from la Cotinière on Oléron Island

Review summary

Omija in Nantes offers French cuisine with generally positive reception. Food is praised for its subtlety, harmony, and creativity, with chefs engaging warmly with guests. However, some diners criticize the small portion sizes, leaving them hungry, while others find the flavors flat. Service is mostly attentive and efficient, though instances of waiting outside upon early arrival and communication issues regarding allergies have been noted. The ambiance is pleasant with an open kitchen concept. Value is polarizing; while some appreciate the experience, others feel the prices are high relative to the quantity served. It suits those seeking refined, innovative tasting experiences rather than substantial meals.

Best for

Recommended for diners seeking refined, creative tasting menus in an elegant setting, but less suitable for those with large appetites or budget constraints.
