Le Manoir de la Régate

What Le Manoir de la Régate does

Le Manoir de la Régate is a single-site Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant operated by the Pérou family in Nantes, France. Founded in 1995 in an old guinguette on the banks of the Erdre river, the restaurant has been under the culinary direction of Chef Mathieu Pérou since 2017 — the fifth generation of a Breton restaurant family, with prior training at kitchens including Les Frères Ibarboure, Thierry Drapeau, Peter Gilmore, Tetsuya Wakuda, and Corey Lee. Co-owner Anne-Charlotte Pérou runs the dining room and received the Michelin Service and Welcome Award in 2022.

The core offering is a portfolio of four tasting menus priced from €50 (Menu Régate, lunch only) to €160 (Menu Erdre, 10 courses), served Tuesday through Saturday. Wine pairings curated by sommelier Théo Tournade range from €70 to €95 across 350+ references with more than 40 Loire Valley selections. Distinctive technical elements include an on-site permaculture kitchen garden 50 metres from the dining room, Ikejime fish sourced from the Erdre river 300 metres away via named local fishermen, and signature clay-baked sandre preparation. The restaurant holds both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star, awarded in 2021.

Revenue is generated primarily through on-premises tasting menu service, supplemented by sommelier-curated beverage pairings, a WooCommerce-powered gift card program (€50–€200), corporate seminars and private events (private dining for 16, meeting room for 30), and seasonal retail products such as sarrasin nougat gift boxes. Distribution is concentrated at the Nantes location, with reservations managed via Zenchef. The legal entity is Maison Pérou SAS, with no external investment or parent company involvement. The customer base consists of affluent regional fine-dining consumers plus a smaller corporate group segment.
