What our travelers says:

2 months ago Helen Eexplained best how he liked it:

Great atmosphere and really cool decor.


7 years ago Sara Echeverrywhat can I say about this place?

I love the decoration! I guess normally in Nantes the prices of beers are high (5 euros or something like that), so the price is more or less ok, the wine is less expensive. Music is good too, a cool place to hang out with your friends


6 years ago left dockdescribed this experience as follows:

Smart idea for an alternative coffee shop and bar. Locals and tourists can blend in a cool environment. Take your chance to speak French and enjoy an evening, feeling like home!


6 years ago Andreas Fichtnerexplained best how he liked it:

Despite the name it's actually a bar! It got its name because it has rooms which are decorated as the different parts of a house, bathroom, kitchen, living room. Quite a variety in one place! It also has a terrace which is covered for rain protection and heated in winter. Also, pro tip, there is a second floor with couches and a soccer table!


11 months ago Rowan Draper- in short, this experience can be described as follows:

Nice atmosphere. The layout and decoration is very cool

10 months ago Hassan Kaleemwhat can I say about this place?

Great host and staff that welcomes you Good food tried Qoarma , Lassi, butter naan, Pakistani qulfi, samosa and lamb biryani everything was great in terms of quantity quality service only one recommendation for improvement is dont add Matar (green peas)to Biryani owner and staff was very welcoming and nice would definitely go there next time as well


3 years ago Teresa Sorokinwrote only this for this place:

I ate here as a single and found the service somewhat chilly. Not a smile to be seen, and the waiters seemed determined to avoid coming any closer than they had to which i found very strange and sad. The food was fine, perhaps a little bland but no doubt prepared to suit the French palate.


4 months ago Katerina Daskalaki- in short, this experience can be described as follows:

Authentic Indian food! Nice flavors and a big variety of Indian dishes. I totally recommend naan with garlic! Kind staff all speaking in English!


2 months ago Kelly sashaevaluates this place as follows:

So nice kheer and lamb biryani nice kind staff funny 😁


1 year ago S “K & S”: it is necessary to add to this place:

Great food, filling. I recommend the Kulfi - I was shocked to find it in India.


7. place definitely deserves 2 Potes au Feu

2 Potes au Feu
We give 8.6/10!. This place was visited and rated 1558-times

What our travelers says:

8 years ago Danwhat can I say about this place?

Decent quality food, efficient service. Visited with Wondrbox voucher, was handled efficiently with a set menu with 4 or 5 options for each plate. Crab rillettes fresh & tasty. Burger was excellent(Good beef, sticky cheese and quality toasted bread). Apricot tart was a little too sharp to fully enjoy, was well made though. Location is very residential and rather grey/concrete. Probably a restaurant locals very much appreciate, not necessarily 1 for tourists to make a detour too although the food is better than average if you did.


5 years ago Diana Tiruwhat can I say about this place?

Went to lunch and I was not disappointed. Good fresh food for a reasonable price (16.90 for the entire menu, beverage not included). I think the service could have been faster, I don't say it was too slow, but it made me wonder how they manage a full restaurant?! Anyway it is worth a try! I have payed more to eat worse food in Nantes :)))


3 years ago Chuma Ncoboevaluates this place as follows:

Very nice homely restaurant. The veggie burger I ordered was ok but the home made fries made up for everything else. The staff are a gem (great charisma) and super helpful.


8 years ago Frederic Bruguessaid the following about this gem:

Great place. Well priced and very fine food.


12 years ago Ali Reza Ebadatwrote only this for this place:

After waiting (sitting) for 20 minutes, no one asked about the order. I didn't have chance to taste the food.

6. place - Nantes Boats

Nantes Boats
We rate the place at 8.6/10!. This place was visited and rated 1942-times

What our travelers says:

3 months ago Alizee Shearerwrote only this about this place:

Great way to discover Nantes or to spend a romantic moment. The food is good, very simple with local products. The wine was also very good. It is difficult to hear the audio guided visit, however it doesn't keep you from enjoying the cruise. The staff was great ! Only bad thing was that we had to reschedule our reservation and do the cruise during a week day instead of the weekend. The price was 36€ less expensive during the week but they never wanted to give us a refund for this amount.


3 months ago DICK MCCOLLdescribed this experience as follows:

Very nice river cruise. Great ship and friendly service. Food poor, dried out and over expensive


3 years ago Mark Yeuletthow did he rate it?

If you are anything but French don't bother. Only commentary is in French. Worse still the compare is also the bar person so this does not open until on the way back. No idea of any information and totally parched. Thank god only 25c and not the 35c of a few days back. If you English avoid unless you not interested in info an getting a beverage. Boat was okay and scenery nice. But been on boat trips across Europe and always multi lingual most recently in Bruges.


6 years ago Michael Moriaritydescribed this experience as follows:

This floating mini cruise up the Erdre River with a very detailed description of the various chateaux along the way makes for a very entertaining afternoon..very informative


2 years ago J RenJsy- in short, this experience can be described as follows:

The cruise and guide map were very good. The food was appalling. 3 of our party were very ill after. Wouldn't go on this cruise boat again.


5. place deserves ikimasho

ikimasho
We give 9/10!. This place was visited and rated 1948-times

What our travelers says:

4 months ago Bao LHhow did he rate it?

Totally full for a meal. But the atmosphere is quite small. If you go in a group, you should reserve.


2 months ago Sydney Lathropwrote only this about this place:

This restaurant is the definition of "good atmosphere" it's designed to make you feel like you're eating in a real Japanese food market/ alleyway, and they even pipe in ambient noises to improve on that vibe. Really cool. The ramen was quite tasty, and the gyoza were crispy. It's a popular restaurant so arrive early to make sure you don't wait long !


1 month ago katia guyetexplained best how he liked it:

Super top


9 months ago Bhone Zawexplained best how he liked it:

If you’re looking for a warm and welcoming ramen spot, Ikimasho is definitely worth a visit. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel at home as soon as you walk in. They speak English, which makes it a great option for foreigners who don’t speak French.The ramen itself is quite good, with flavors that come close to authentic Japanese ramen. The broth is rich, the noodles are well-cooked, and the toppings are fresh. However, the portion size is a bit on the smaller side, so if you’re really hungry, you might need to order a side dish.Overall, I’d rate the food 4/5 and the service & hospitality 5/5. A great place for ramen lovers looking for a friendly dining experience!


4 months ago Ligia Chardonwrote only this for this place:

The first time I ate at restaurant and for the food is great and TOP. And restaurant so cozy. I will comeback again


4. place deserves Le Cambronne Bistrot Chic

3 weeks ago Mark Schusterwrote only this for this place:

Great small restaurant in the heart of Nantes.The preparation of the Tarte de Boeuf is a highlight . The service was very good too!


5 years ago Hanh Nguyensaid the following about this gem:

Elegant restaurant with varieties on the menu besides the usual beef steak and hamburger. Beautiful decor and ambiance. Staffs are attentive and food is good, however I felt my shrimp noodles today was a bit overdone. Restaurant can fill up fast so come early or make reservations.


6 years ago Daniel Anorevaluates this place as follows:

The best dinner we had so far while traveling in Nantes. We took the 3 meal course and it was phenomenal. We wanted to add some tapas that is served as well but unfortunately we got to late to the restaurant so we didn’t try it. The winner dish is the salmon- amazing combination of flavors and textures. I also wanted to mention the size of the dishes- I have no idea who mentioned that in this restaurant the dishes are small, they are definitely not small. Thanks for a great dinner experience, we will definitely visit again on our next trip to Nantes.


5 months ago Kayo Ozawawrote only this for this place:

We had a nice lunch here☺️


6 years ago Khanh DOexplained best how he liked it:

Even though I went there alone in a busy lunch, they still set up a table for me. The staffs can speak English so it’s a relief for me, they are also very elegant and professional. The food is super delicious, and have lunch option which is about 14 euro. I choose the set menu offered by the resto instead because I wanted to taste the fois gras and it’s worth! They serve super fast, and although the resto have many customers the atmosphere is still warm and cozy and a bit romantic with candles here and there. A truly French restaurant!

3. place belongs to McDonald's

McDonald's
Definitely deserves 5.4/10!. This place was visited and rated 3736-times

What our travelers says:

7 months ago Krupal Rajendra: it is necessary to add to this place:

I want to thank the entire McDonald's staff.. especially Theo and Vincent for making my daughter's birthday a great memory... The hug we got from our daughter after the party is Priceless... We really appreciate it for you guys...


1 year ago Victor Rosenzveig- in short, this experience can be described as follows:

Totally unacceptable service! I ordered 1 ice cream, 1 cheesecake and 1 apple juice; with no more than a handful of other customers in the restaurant, after waiting 35 minutes my order still hadn't arrived. I am shocked! This is more than a lack of professionalism, it's a lack of the most basic respect of my time. If you value your time, stay away!


6 years ago Richie Doyle- why does he think this place is on the list?

This city seems to have the worst McDonald's in all of Europe. I have been to 3 McDonald's restaurants in Nantes and they are so slow service always something broke that they are so much not McDonald's I would recommend. I know its a fast-food outlet and shouldn't expect any sort of good service but its McDonald's and such a huge chain of restaurants you would think McDonald's would stand in and have them up there game to use there name. Shame on this establishment for making McDonald's look this bad


3 years ago JEA ALEhow did he rate it?

One of the best Mcdonald shop I've ever visited. Tasty food and quick delivery, very kind staff, and the best part is the playing area for kids. I highly recommend it.


6 years ago Tanguy Bambier- in short, this experience can be described as follows:

Long queue but very good service... Too many customers on rush hours, not a cheap food anyway, not the Best value for money, but once in a while, get crazy and eat junk food ! Party time !!!!


2. place belongs to L'Entrecôte

L'Entrecôte
We rate the place at 8.6/10!. This place was visited and rated 4259-times

What our travelers says:

3 months ago Sveta Tranevaluates this place as follows:

They only have set menu for which you get a salad (lettuce with walnuts) and entrecôte for €23. You can also order dessert for €7-8.5. Unlimited fries. Better to queue before it opens at 7pm (otherwise there is a high chance of long wait). Ask for mustard - it’s delicious. The service was surprisingly very friendly!


2 months ago Marco Simone Zuppone- in short, this experience can be described as follows:

It's an experience. They have just one main:the entrecôte, served with chips and a tasty green salad with walnuts. Nice choice of wines and desserts. The service is kind and quick. The meat was outstanding. It arrives finely sliced and soaked in sage butter. The portion is generous. They even asked me if I wanted a fries top up. The price is more than reasonable. The que is massive but generally quick. I'd reccomend arriving before it opens. It's an experience you need to have if you visit Nantes.


5 months ago Christina F- why does he think this place is on the list?

I went here with friends and we sat inside. Food & drink: delicious and excellent value for money. There is a set menu but its perfect. Starters: A small plate of lettuce with walnuts & a light dressing. A basket of bread. Mains: Steak cut into small pieces with skinny fries and a tasty sauce (the bread was yummy with the sauce). Then a bigger serving dish of our steak was brought out with two candles underneath to keep the meat warm. We were offered a second serving of fries. Dessert: A wide selection and a generous serving. Service: Excellent. The restaurant was busy but we were served straight away. Atmosphere: Welcoming, lively and not too noisey. I would recommend here and I would return.


1 month ago Tamas Kecskessaid the following about this gem:

Good choise for a quick tasty dinner. Everyone eats the same salad, entrecote and french fries. Service is very kind and fast. Food taste good. The wine selection is also good mainly Bordeuax wines. Portions are big for a filling dinner. Very good value for the price for a sunday evening dinner where most places are closed in Nantes.


4 months ago Victoria09- in short, this experience can be described as follows:

We went on a Thursday evening in June and queued at about 6.45 - got a table outside (there was a bit of a queue when we joined but were seated immediately when restaurant opened). Food AMAZING and staff very friendly and spoke good English. Would go back!

2 months ago Ksenia Balandawhat can I say about this place?

Great dinner in a beautiful Place Graslin, the restaurant inside is a piece of art. Amazing food, good vibes, very gentle personnel and an amazing last evening of the vacation in France. Highly recommended.


5 months ago Anawa43explained best how he liked it:

Good to be back after 8 years away from Nantes ! We booked for dinner then we change our mind and we had lunch. The food was good as usual, the service as well excellent and the atmosphere was great as usual! Keep it up next time.


5 months ago Phil Cookevaluates this place as follows:

An excellent display of French hospitality. We began with a plate of beautiful oysters with a glass of Champagne. For main, I had perfectly cooked cod with spinach with a delicious cod sauce. I also added beurre Nantais for extra, which was excellent. My girlfriend had John Dory with well cooked asparagus in an almond butter sauce. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and it was good to watch him orchestrate some classic French traditions like making steak tartare at the table. The dining room was absolutely stunning but could use a little spruce up in places


4 months ago Nino Mtsituridescribed this experience as follows:

A wide selection of delicious dishes? Yes. Stunning views both outside and inside the restaurant? Yes. Whether you're with company or on your own — absolutely yes. Attentive waiters and excellent service? Yes! P.S. Special thanks to Huong Lan — an incredible, energetic, smiling, and cheerful person 🙏💖💕


2 months ago Martin Jeonghwan (TuesdayBrunch)wrote only this about this place:

한국인이면 여기서 꼭 음식 먹어보세요. 후회안할거에요. Found this local gem on my first trip to France. The interior was stunning, but since I hadn’t booked I sat outside and honestly, the plaza view made it even better The oysters & whelks were so fresh (a little grit here and there 😂) but still amazing. The wine the waitress suggested was perfect 🍷 And that crème brûlée… easily the best I’ve ever had! 💛 Such a beautiful solo food experience — can’t wait to come back 🇫🇷🥂
