Le Manoir de la Régate
Nantes, France
A nineteenth-century manor on the eastern bank of the Erdre river, Le Manoir de la Régate holds one Michelin star under chef Mathieu Pérou, whose cooking draws heavily from Loire region produce and a pronounced bias toward vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Front-of-house is led by his sister Anne-Charlotte, making this a family operation with clear professional discipline at both ends of the pass.
