Definitely an amazing place! The architecture of the space is charming and makes the visit feel special. The artworks are interesting, modern, and very diverse. However, some of the pieces deal with sensitive topics in a very visual and direct way and I believe they should be labeled with a trigger warning. It’s not always suitable for sensitive audiences. Still, it’s a unique experience…

The art will make you angry (it’s a banana. Taped to the wall ffs.) but you know what? Good art should make you feel something, and there’s some very very good art here. Of course there is. The building itself is a breathtaking masterpiece as well, with well laid out and inventive gallery spaces, and all the amenities and accoutrements you’d expect from a world class institution. Excellent restaurant. Clean washrooms. And you didn’t hear it from me, but if you’re stuck for luggage storage waiting for your train, you can walk right in and store your bags for a euro. And you don’t even have to go into the museum ! Just go - it’s one of Metz’s main attractions.

The architecture of the Centre Pompidou alone is worth the visit – bold, elegant, and full of light. I explored two unforgettable exhibitions: Maurizio Cattelan’s ironic, provocative works and Marina Abramović’s participative experience “Counting the Rise.” Although I didn’t have enough time to take part in the participatory tasks set up in Abramović’s exhibition space, I still found the concept inspiring and thought-provoking. The atmosphere invites deep reflection and engagement with the human experience. In addition, on the second floor, visitors can discover works by over 40 international contemporary artists – a diverse and fascinating collection that adds even more depth and colour to the visit. You should definitely plan to spend a few hours or more to fully appreciate everything. An inspiring blend of architecture, performance, and contemporary art – highly recommended!

The Metz outpost of the famous Parisian contemporary art museum does not disappoint! The architecture is interesting and the exhibits are first class. The museum wasn't too busy either, which was rather nice. The kids very much enjoyed the museum as well, especially the temporary Maurizio Catellan exhibit. We found the staff to be friendly. Very highly recommended!

It was so much fun to explore, and the architecture was even more captivating from the inside. The wooden construction was truly impressive. Looking at the artworks inside was really enjoyable. Entry was free for those under 26, and the regular ticket cost €14.

This branch of the Pompidou modern art museum in Paris was opened in 2010. It is much more manageable than the main branch in Paris and the art is absolutely amazing. A 20 minute walk from the historic center of Metz. Or take the MA or MB bus using the ticket machines at most major stops. Highly recommend a 2-3 hour visit.

Absolutely stunning and definitely worth a visit. Building great, collection fantastic. Restaurant and coffee shop unfortunately disappointing, checked them out but decided not to try.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!! What a nice view from the top and from the bridge behind it. It is a must-go from Metz. (Little tip: there is a lift to go up in the tower, I was so happy when I saw it, it was possible to go up with a stroller)

Porte des Allemands is a beautiful medieval gate in Metz with towers, bridges, and great river views. It’s a peaceful place to walk, take photos, and enjoy the city’s rich history. Free and worth a visit!

Very cool little fortress! Definitely worth a visit if in Metz.

I visited on a rainy day on Wednesday afternoon at around 1500. It has descriptions explaining the historical significance of the landmark, and stiatcases that allowed you to enter and reach the first floor of the landmark. It also had a space for an exhibition, which was showcasing various building materials across time during my visit. Nevertheless, I wish there were more efforts in presenting the history of the landmark. Overall, it is worth visiting even if time is limited.

A gorgeous spot to visit and take photos. Not busy at all on a Sunday

The city gates are a beautiful spot, very peaceful and not crowded.

One of the best spots to explore in Metz. Free to enter. Make sure to walk all the way around the gate to get the best views from along the river. The gate seems to showcase various exhibits of modern art over time. Highly recommend for those visiting Metz.

One of the most amazing cathedrals in France! When you stand in front of Metz Cathedral, you feel small and full of wonder. The golden stone shines in the sun, and the tall towers seem to touch the sky. Inside, the light is mystical. The stained-glass windows are not only from the Middle Ages but also modern, even by Chagall. They make the walls look alive with colors. It has the highest nave in France (41 meters), higher than Notre-Dame in Paris. It is called the “Lantern of God” because of more than 6,000 m² of stained glass.People say that at sunset, the golden stone creates an atmosphere that feels almost supernatural. This place is not just history. It is an experience. If you visit Metz, you cannot miss it.

Walking into Metz Cathedral - if you’re not exactly used to walking into thousand year old cathedrals - will leave you speechless, overwhelmed, and possibly teary eyed. It’s an astonishing edifice and on a sunny day the interior dances and glimmers with light and colour from the 1000s of panes of glass. You also have to appreciate and respect that this building is in active and daily use, so please - please - remain silent as you slowly wander the perimeter to marvel at the wonder of just how this building came to be, and the architectural miracle it is.

We visited the Metz Cathedral with a specific goal — to see the stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall, since Chagall was our compatriot, also from Belarus. The cathedral itself is magnificent, and the stained glass windows are absolutely mesmerizing. The light filtering through the colorful glass creates a magical effect — the patterns and colors evoke feelings that are simply beyond words. We couldn’t imagine anything that could make the experience even better, but while we were there, an organ concert began, and it turned the visit into something truly unforgettable. The combination of the music, the stained glass, and the atmosphere was enchanting. Since it all happened during the Christmas markets and holiday season, it became one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring experiences we’ve ever had.

Incredible cathedral in size, artistry, detail, and use of colors! Huge volume of space under immensely high ceilings and arches! Photos and video really don't do it justice.. The audio echoes and booms here. The richness of the murals, paintings, stained glass, and sculptures are mind-blowing! Definitely a must-see! No entrance fee, though parking is not free and space is limited. Public restrooms are across the street and are free, though not very clean; while there are urinals, there are no toilets, just holes in the ground.

It is very beautiful from the outside, but much more beautiful inside! This is one of the tallest, most beautiful and majestic cathedrals I have ever seen. If not the most! Its stained glass windows are simply incomparable. In such a place you feel some elusive magic, especially with the sounds of the organ.

Top 5 of stained glasses I've ever seen in 26 countries (I am french btw). Breathtaking, original with multiple styles, you definitely have to visit this cathedral in France if you love stained glasses!

The Metz Cathedral is absolutely stunning. Its Gothic architecture and level of detail make it one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe. Inside, the enormous stained-glass windows — some of the largest in the world — create a magical atmosphere with the natural light. Walking through feels like a journey through history, with glasswork ranging from the 13th century to modern pieces by artists like Marc Chagall. The exterior is just as impressive, with intricate sculptures and an imposing presence right in the heart of the city. Take your time to explore every detail, and if possible, join a guided tour to fully appreciate its history and symbolism. Definitely a must-see when visiting Metz.

A bit anticlimactic. The interior seems to have been stripped and normally used as a venue. Not much historical information but worth a look if nearby. Wonderful historic construction.

Extremely rude staff wouldn't let me have a short look inside even when the event or whatever it was closed for wasn't even close to happen, with no one inside.

Lovely, very old, small church building - the original home of the Gregorian (Metz) Chant.

Roman building and baths, that later was turned into a church. A long history beside!

Very cool place, and the oldest building I've ever been in. Smaller than I thought it'd be. The grounds are pretty, as well. It's a good, relaxed place to visit, and doesn't take long to see.

Only the exterior is accessible.

Apparently the oldest church in France!

Perfect night wife my wife! The food was excellent: fish and the magre de canard. Both quality and quantity were impressive! We loved it. The vibe of the place is also great, a bit chic and romantic. Service was also very good. High recommend it!

What a great surprise!! The food was simply excellent with coherence of quality across the entire meal journey. This restaurant is a clear evidence that we do not need to visit a Michelin starred restaurant to enjoy quality food. We entered the place at 7:00pm and it was almost empty but in just one hour it ended up fully packed! Good wine list with some interesting bottles. Staff, nice and efficient even if a bit overwhelmed when the restaurant is full. That said you don’t notice this. If around in Metz give this restaurant a chance: you will not be disappointed. At least we were not!!

I was looking for a very nice dining place that would also feature regional cuisine of Lorraine and I found it. Very happy with my choice. Great food, great local wine.

Creative cuisine in the center of Metz. The Chef developed a great concept of using local products for his meals. They have a list of main producers, where they buy ingredients and drinks. The menu consists of an interesting fusion of french and other cuisines. Everything was very original and delicious. We got complementary entrees and dessert. The service was also on point. Would love to come again ❤️

My new favorite place to eat lunch in Metz. The local organic Amber beer was great, for the starter we tried the Scallops with Spring rolls (A+++) for the entre we tried the free range chicken and the Salmon both were very good. Service was amazing and the place is very clean. I will come again and again

Delirious food, good service and nice ambiance

Cosy place in center of Metz. The culinary style is pretty much " nouvelle cuisine", decorated plates, flavor on point, and a menu that make sense. Short and well executed. Not cheap, but the quality is there! The service is also very attentive, and present, yet not intrusive. A place to visit again, that we discover with friends that where there 1 year before! Well done!

Our large group was warmly welcomed for lunch with a short notice reservation. The food was exceptional and our young children were kindly accommodated with smaller portions. We wish to come again!

Good service. The meals are delicious. But I don't expect anything less from Paul the Chef. Always a pleasure over the years.

Very nice and cozy place. I've been there several times and the staff is kind and made me feel like home. Great choice of wines, even from other countries.

cetait expensive cest nul >:) jk. acc really nice :)

Excellent.

Super

Nice restaurant with a cute atmosphere! Service was friendly. The drinks were nice. We had the Poutine and the Gourmands plate, both were good but not extraordinary. Unfortunately much overprized for 20 and 35 Euro.

Having great and delightful romantic dinner in February 2020 by them. We come again bring in the families with this time, The restaurant is very nice and cosy. Love the toilet so much. The owner spent time to talk with customer, the chef was very generous with the portion of the food and delicious. My family has one person with mobilities réduit and dispite we forgot to inform them, they welcome us and help us to get settled. We love to come again.

Since a very long time , the best poutine by far in the region. Not a lot of choice but qualitative product undoubtedly! Go and enjoy it

A wonderful place to relax in after seeing the opera and cathedral. The owner is very friendly and even allowed is to get in with our cat. The food was amazing and gets you more than full.

Excellent Canadian discovery in the middle of Metz. Authentic dishes like the famous poutine fries and curd cheese, bison steaks, and lots of Salmon! The portions are big! Think to share one poutine and one discovery dish. Maple syrupy ribs and maple syrup Kir and maple syrup pancakes are just awesome! The owner is so energetic, and has tons of stories!

OK admittedly we should have known that going to a Canadian restaurant was probably a bad idea but we were intrigued and they had bison on the menu, which my husband loves. All in all it wasn't that bad but I certainly would not go back, especially not with the with all the other good places to eat Metz seems to have to offer. The service was very rough around the edges but to be fair there was one guy, all on his own, with about 12 tables. He was doing all the seating, order taking, drinks pouring and serving, food delivery and clearing away, as well as bills and answering the phone. I think if they got a little more help the place would feel a bit more pleasant and clients would have a less frustrating time. Also they could do with playing some music for ambiance... The food was decent though - we shared the 'meat selection' which featured bison kebab, pork ribs with BBQ sauce and some sort of smoked meat, all of which were very tasty. The 'Canadian potato' was boiled rather than baked and enormous. Not very exciting but a novelty in France I suppose, which must be the point of this place really. In fact that's the part I liked most, the decor and the 'cuteness' of the place. Novelty yes but well done and amusing, plus very clean, which was surprising given the number of knick knacks about the place! I won't be going back but at least now I can say I have been to a Canadian restaurant. Oh and I hear from other people that the Quebecois beer selection here is very good, although I didn't sample any myself.

Verry unfrendly. No Toilette for children ☹️

Nice staff , but the food is mediocre, we had better onion soup in Zagreb, Croatia, the veil main dish was also just ok, i was expecting much more at this restaurant, as iv eaten in france many times before, and it's a little overpriced, im sure due to its tourist trap location, i wont be going again.

Very pleasant food but limited choice. The lighting should be improved

Brasserie at train station of Metz. A bit disappointed by the meals.

(Translated by Google) A very nice address in the center of Metz. One of these beautiful brasseries located directly near the train stations and which marked the glory days of French travelers. The setting is great, spacious and bright: you feel good there. Very good regional cuisine, efficient and friendly service. (thanks to Sabrina) A very nice address. Maxence.G Passing through Metz for work. (Original) Une très belle adresse en plein centre de Metz. Une de ces belles brasseries située à proximité directe des gares et qui ont écrit les heures de gloire des voyageurs français. Le cadre est super , spacieux et lumineux : on s’y sent bien. Une très bonne cuisine régionale,un service efficace et souriant. ( merci à Sabrina) Une très belle adresse. Maxence.G De passage sur Metz pour le travail.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt a refined place, in a very beautiful environment. The staff is a bit dull, not rude but not too kind or professional either. The food is really excellent and with good plating, the prices are high but acceptable. The desserts are shameful though, good but for 9 euros they were a huge disappointment (Original) Senza dubbio un posto raffinato, in un ambiente molto bello. Lo staff è un po’ spento, non maleducati ma nemmeno troppo gentili o professionali. Il cibo davvero ottimo e con buoni impiattamenti, i prezzi sono alti ma accettabili. Vergognosi però i dolci, buoni ma per costare 9 euro sono stati una delusione pazzesca

(Translated by Google) We ate very well, the setting was perfect and the service was top notch! This is an address not to be missed in Metz. 4* for the cuisine because the dishes are elaborate and good but for the local menu at €44 I find that for the starter, the scallop skewer is a little small. To do again 👍✌️ (Original) Nous avons très bien mangé, le cadre est parfait et le service au top ! C’est une adresse à ne pas manquer sur Metz. 4* pour la cuisine car les plats sont élaborés et bons mais pour le menu terroir à 44€ je trouve que pour l’entrée, la brochette de St Jacques est un peu petite. A refaire 👍✌️

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant welcome like the very beautiful room with its old building and nicely decorated. A nice terrace in the heart of the city. The cuisine delights both your eyes and your taste buds. The prices are fair considering the quality! (Original) Un accueil très agréable à l'image de la très belle salle au bâti ancien et joliment décorée. Une terrasse sympathique en cœur de ville. La cuisine vous ravi tant les yeux que les papilles. Les prix sont corrects au vu de la qualité !

Read the good reviews so schlepped half way across Metz but we were very disappointed. Couldn’t eat the mains. Luckily we filled up on naan which was good even though they gave us the wrong type first off. It’s busy but feels a little bit like the lack of competition ( unlike the dozens of Japanese places vying for custom) has left them resting on their laurels and offering dated, bland offering that looked and tasted pretty scraggy I’m sorry to say. The guys working there are pleasant and friendly but it’s not worth a schlep imo. I mean it could be we’re spoiled in England but I just thought it actually tasted bad.

Food was not exceptional, but not bad. The atmosphere was nice and the interior is clean. The price was good.

Place is amazing, not fancy looking but very authentic. The food is AMAZING! As a person of Indian heritage, I approve this place 100%

Such a fab resto. Food perfect, rice and naans to die for. Just rebooked for 2 days time loved it so much.

I am from bangladesh . Their food is too much delicious alhamdulillah .

Great restaurant! I really enjoyed my food here and the staff were professional and kind in explaining the food and the menu. The food itself was good, the restaurant's atmosphere was good, it was clean, and above all the staff were very kind which definitely makes a difference. Our server also spoke English very well which is extremely rare in Metz and definitely a bonus! Would definitely recommend.

Good Indian food and value meal is 12€ lunch time weekdays. Cobra 🐍 beer🍺 available (Before 1:30 PM)
