Best Wine Bars in Nantes

18 of the 18 wine bars listed in Nantes publish their opening hours. The median one opens at 5 pm and closes at 12 am on a typical trading day.

Sunday is the day that catches visitors out: 7 venues in Nantes (39% of those with published hours) trade on Sunday, against 7 on Monday. 3 open seven days a week.

17 addresses stay open past 10 pm, which matters if you are buying after dinner rather than before it. Le Mirza closes latest, at 2 am.

At the other end of the day, La Provence opens earliest, at 8:30 am.

These hours come from each venue's own Google Business Profile as read in March 2026. They are regular hours: public holidays, August closures and harvest-season changes are not reflected, so call ahead for a specific date.

The 18 rated wine bars in Nantes carry 4,101 reviews between them. The mean rating is 4.73 out of 5 and the median is 4.8, and 17 venues hold 4.5 or better — 94% of the list.

Muscadothèque carries the highest rating with a review base large enough to mean something: 5.0 from 119 reviews. Santeuil Café is the most reviewed address in Nantes, at 510.

A five-star average is worth less than it looks on a venue with a dozen reviews, which is why the ranking above is sorted by rating and review volume together rather than by rating alone. The rating also measures the visit, not the cellar: service, queueing and the state of the room all land in the same number as the wine selection. It is a starting filter, not a verdict on what is on the shelf.

Price level is published for 7 of the 18 wine bars in Nantes, and it splits as follows: 1 budget (14%), 6 moderate (86%). Google's price level is a four-step band reported by the venue and by visitors, not a price list, so it says where an address sits relative to its neighbours rather than what a bottle costs.
