The story
Just south of Nantes, in the quiet town of Vertou, Le Laurier Fleuri offers a restaurant that balances inventive cooking with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen describes its style as "cuisine bistronomique et inventive" – a modern cuisine built entirely on fresh ingredients sourced in close collaboration with local producers. The menu changes with the seasons, and the chef's "Inspiration du Chef" tasting option (€39 to €47) showcases the best of the region's produce.
The wine list is equally rooted in the Loire Valley, with a careful selection from local vignerons that complements the food without pretension. This straightforward, quality-driven approach has earned Le Laurier Fleuri a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a nod to good cooking at a fair price.
The dining room is open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Friday, and the attached hotel (ten calm, comfortable rooms) makes it easy to extend the evening. Whether you stop in for a business lunch or a leisurely dinner, the focus remains on what's on the plate: honest, seasonal modern cuisine that lets the ingredients speak.
