Darry (ex-Tire Bouchon, the pioneering natural wine bistro in Rennes) teamed up with Rosemary Girard-Macé to update Le Nabuchodonosor, a Rennes institution right near the Parlement de Bretagne. And this new iteration of a classic spot promises beautiful feasts! In the kitchen, Joris Lebigot (ex-Bristol and Daimant Collective) bistronomizes everything he can get his hands on: at lunchtime, think creamy butternut squash hummus seasoned with pickled carrots, coriander and pumpkin seeds; pearly gurnard, a divine rockfish soup and roasted zucchini; and fromage blanc with stewed squash and speculoos for the seriously tasty dessert. At night, the plates are inspired by the chef’s travels, like the Asian-style fried chicken with Chouchen mead; the mackerel in mole (a chocolate-chili sauce); Frencher options like stuffed cabbage or vol-au-vent with chicken and veal sweetbreads…. And for early risers, there’s a breakfast menu option featuring bread and viennoiseries from the 16h30 pastry shop, plus butter from Thierry Lemarchand. // Catherine Jamon 

FEELING THIRSTY? : Beautiful bottles of living wines, like Attention Chenin Méchant, a mineral Loire white from Nicolas Reau (€6.50 a glass), En Attendant les Copains, a highly drinkable Côtes-du-Rhône from Lori Haon (€24 a bottle) or Clandestinus, a Navarre grenache noir from Imanol Garay (€39). 
PRICE: : Breakfast €8-13, set menu €16-22 (lunch), plates €6-13 and weekly dishes €14-33 (dinner), desserts €8.
