A Gastronomic Experience: Generosity, Local Heritage & Creativity
At the helm of Le 1201's kitchen, Executive Chef David Ferré, a proud local with a lifelong passion for cooking, shares with his team the pleasure of showcasing generous, authentic cuisine with a bold creative spirit.
Like the abbey itself, which has stood the test of time, each menu harmoniously blends classical foundations with contemporary reinterpretations, balancing tradition and innovation to create a truly genuine dining experience.
An Exceptional Wine Cellar
To complement your meal, Le 1201's exceptional wine cellar—located just 15 minutes from Nantes city centre—features 1,001 carefully selected labels.
Our passionate sommelier crafts subtle food and wine pairings that reveal both the depth of each vintage and the finesse of every dish. From prestigious grands crus to hidden gems, every bottle invites a new discovery.
Celebrating Local Produce
At Le 1201, we proudly showcase seasonal ingredients sourced from carefully selected regional producers. Guérande sea salt, vegetables from neighbouring market gardeners, Beillevaire cheeses and dairy products, fish from Vannes and Lorient, oysters from Oléron, Atlantic seafood, and locally raised meats and poultry all inspire our cuisine.
Every ingredient is treated with the utmost care, allowing the richness of our region to shine through in beautifully crafted dishes.
