The problem, in Nantes
In Nantes, people book with their eyes first. A site with no menu and no photos leaves the table to the neighbour who has both.
Many restaurant sites we read talk about atmosphere. Few show an up-to-date menu. Visitors do not take your word for it: they want the dish, the hours, the button.
Nantes, capital of the Pays de la Loire and France's 6th-largest city with 327,734 residents (INSEE 2023), is one of the country's most dynamic local markets: just 5.7% unemployment in Loire-Atlantique, 61,060 active businesses across the metro and over 20,350 new companies created in 2024. A French Tech Capital since 2019, the city attracts a professional customer base attuned to digital presence. With 67,436 students and a dense fabric of small businesses, it's fertile ground to gain visibility fast against still loosely-organised online competition.
Usual area: Saint-Herblain (35,000 res., metro's 2nd city, Atlantis retail hub), Rezé (42,000 res., trades and industrial SMEs, southern edge), Orvault (27,000 res., affluent residential area, strong demand for services and building trades), Carquefou (18,000 res., Acti'Est business park, logistics and industry), Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire (26,000 res., dynamic residential town), La Chapelle-sur-Erdre (22,000 res., high-income profile, professional services).
What the site must do
A restaurant site is for booking, seeing the menu and the hours. Not for “generating leads”. Lunch is decided in twenty seconds.
Before they call, they want the menu, a photo, the hours and a way to book. If that is missing, TheFork has already won. Put the essentials above the fold.
- Up-to-date menu
- Hours and access
- Food photos
- Booking or phone
We structure the site. You keep the trade.
We start with a short brief, a first version and a launch, then we change the site every month. No web project to manage, no price grid on this page — prices are on /en/pricing.

restaurant in Nantes
Can I update my menu easily?+
Yes. Send us your changes and we update the menu as part of your monthly included changes — no menu frozen since opening day.
Does the site work well on mobile?+
It has to — almost all your customers check you on their phone between noon and two. The site is built mobile-first, not adapted afterwards.
Can I keep my current booking system (Zenchef, TheFork...)?+
Yes, we integrate it into the site rather than replacing it. The goal isn't to rebuild everything — just to make your existing tool visible from a page under your own name.
Will my Google and TripAdvisor reviews show on the site?+
Yes — that's exactly the weak spot we found in most of the restaurants we audited. Your reviews are surfaced on your own site, not buried on a third-party platform.
Do you build websites for restaurants in Nantes?+
Yes. We create and maintain the site remotely. It targets customers in Nantes and across the Loire-Atlantique area — we do not visit job sites.
