Les Machines de l'Île is an imaginative and interactive park attraction in Nantes, inspired by the works of Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci. The park features a giant mechanical elephant that walks, trumpets, sprays water, and even spits fire. Visitors can also explore a laboratory of nature-inspired machines and enjoy a three-story carousel of marine machines.
A wonderful creative imaginative magical experience, for children and adults alike. Blending engineering & physics with creative design and wild imagination. This place is a must see! The Grand Elephant is also impressive, and squirts water everywhere. Don’t get wet! Must see, must try. Not expensive. Worthwhile for family and all ages!

Love the experience. Amazing place. Most of presentations are in French. You can use app to read all info online. Would suggest more English tours through the week. One on Monday evening doesn’t suit all visitors on different days.
Fantastic experience at Machine de l'île, Nantes. The ticketing system is complex but let's you pay for what you want to see - the three options are: The Elephant, The Gallery (with a range of mechanical animals to watch and some you can participate in) and the Carousel - each requires a separate booking and ticket, however the latter are both included in the Nantes pass whi h is good value for money. The Elephant was fun, though busy and you can get a better view from the ground of the elephant itself. The Gallery was excellent, again quite busy but you get to see demonstrations of 5 or 6 machines. The Carousel was better than I expected as each object has different functions that allow you to move them wh ih was fun. One word of warning, only download the tickets once as any subsequent downloads cancels the last ticket rather than duplicating it which meant I ended up in a mess with multiple tickets. You can also get tickets and opies of digital tickets from the ticket office. There's an outdoor cafe on site and a lovely Spanish restaurant adjacent.
This was on my "bucket list". It was amazing. Total of €30 to visit the Elephant, Carousel and Warehouse. You can see the Elephant walking around without paying if you don't want to pay to ride it. Worth knowing that parts of the carousel ride are wheelchair friendly too.
It took us from 11am to 4pm ( with a break for lunchtime closure 12-2), to see everything.
I found this a slightly bizarre experience, maybe best suited to children and anyone interested in beautiful carvings/mechanics.... but the mechanical animals were genuinely impressive and the people doing the tour were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
The highlight for me was the mechanical elephant, which you don't have to pay to watch.
I liked the fact that this building had been renovated for such an interesting and, above all, interactive project. Fortunately, there was an English-speaking guide available. During the visit we were able to touch some of the machines ourselves and activate them, making the whole thing much more fun. It was also nice to be able to access the area where these machines are actually built, so that everyone can understand the hard engineering work that goes into them.
The gallery is extremely disappointing. You pay 12 euros to watch the staff having fun with the animatronics. You'll be at 10m of distance (if lucky) and with 100 people around. Maybe, maybe you're lucky enough to be selected to "pilot" some machine (actually is managed by the staff)
The elephant ride is worth its price though
Staff spoke English so was able to buy ticket and find way around. Lots of machines to look at and shown working by staff. Spent a few hours here and enjoyed it but not a whole days event. Reasonably priced. Parked our vw camper in multistory over the road no problem.

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.

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.
Many years ago I was given a cookbook by a French friend. The cookbook was from La Cigale - I have loved the recipes it contained, I vowed that of I ever had the chance I would go to this renowned Brasserie. Yesterday I did! Our lunch was delicious, the service excellent and the atmosphere and interior decor fabulous. Thank you La Cigale, the meal we had made our stay in Nantes special.
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
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 🙏💖💕
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 🇫🇷🥂
Super friendly service!
Tasty food at reasonable price for the menu DU jour.
No AC, but that's the usual around these parts.
Beautiful dining space, lots of seafood options in the menu, and good acoustic (lively space yet every table can comfortably have their own conversations). Service was efficient yet felt a little rush at times.

Very high priced shops but really cool architecture with free admission.. and extremely easy to visit via st.nicolas bus stop. There is a Harry Potter merchandise shop, which was cool.

Stunning architecture in this passage way. Very ornate and I liked the old stairs. The shops are expensive.
Definitely a magical place. Worth spending time and paying attention to details.
Nice covered market with many little interesting shops
Beautiful center with magnificent architecture.
Very pretty and well conserved
Very original shopping mall. Art nouveau style. Plenty of upscale, fashion or new items for sale. Nice to stroll around too. You can also have a coffee there to admire the scenery and passers by.
This is architecturally stunning. Well worth a stroll through just to soak up the atmosphere .

Museum
The Château des ducs de Bretagne, a grand castle located in the heart of Nantes, has a rich history dating back to 1207. It was once the seat of the province of Brittany and home to the Dukes of Brittany for over three centuries. Designated as a national historical monument, it now houses the Nantes History Museum, showcasing more than 850 artifacts that depict the region's diverse heritage.
A nice castle with an insightful museum (need to buy tickets), visiting the castle is free however.
The walk around the castle wall is very enjoyable, also around the moat with the ducks swimming around.
Many people having picnics around the castle as well.
There are many shops and cafes / restaurants around the beautiful streets outside the castle. You can easily spend at least half a day in the vicinity.
Ken A — Google review
Very well worth going. The chateau is very pretty, courtyard is big and there is plenty of space for sitting down and relax. The museum itself is top notch designed and very easy to walk around with clear signs and displays are nicely categorized. Combining with different ways of presenting: videos, games, 3D virtual screens, cartoon story telling, many other ways of references. Great for kids to visit. One of the best museums to visit, I didn’t feel bored at all during the 2 hours. The content of the museum is very educational, you get a full picture of the history of Nantes. And it’s not afraid of showing the “ugly” part of the history about salve trading. Some rare findings about WWII as well.
If Nantes, the Chateau is a must, really good location. Fantastic that you can walk around the outside/ramparts for free. It is amazing and such a nice vibe when walking around here.
Had a very quick visit. You even can go through the gates for free and make some pictures. Part of the so called 'Green Line'. If you want more you can pay to go inside the castle itself
A great visit. Walked the ramparts and the moat for free. Information boards throughout giving an insight into the history of each area. Amazing views of the city and surrounding areas. There's secure bike parking,a cafe and toilets. Well worth a visit.
Very interesting museum about the history of Nantes and the area. Very modern and accessible with lifts to every exhibition room and even to the walls around! Highly recommended to visit it if you are in the area.
Really nice castle to look at and a very interesting walk around the museum. Nice gift shop.
Wonderful place almost in the center of Nantes. And what is good, that this château isn't far from the railway station. So, if you have a little bit time before your train, spend it here in château 😉

Ramen restaurant
Ramen Ya is a charming little eatery that brings the essence of Japan right to the heart of France, specifically in Nantes and Rennes. Since its inception in 2017 by chef Anthony Nguyen, this cozy spot has become a beloved destination for noodle soup enthusiasts. The restaurant boasts an inviting atmosphere with a traditional Yokohama-inspired menu featuring homemade ramen crafted from locally sourced ingredients like free-range chicken and Breton pork.
You order at the front desk and wait. Menu focused on ramens. Mind the level of spiciness, you may suggest what you prefer to the crew. Not too spacy local but the food is very good.
Leszek P — Google review
First time in France as we were on an Extreme Day Trip - We went to Nantes and found this treasure of a place. The staff were brilliant, made us feel very welcome and THE FOOD WOW! THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE.
Got the Jigoku ramen and gyoza. The ramen was amazing. The taste is just right. For gyoza, it’s not the best I’ve tried but okay. Overall, good experience, good food.
The food was tasty, but the service was under par. I had a meal there on 31 Jul at 16.20 and was greeted by a less than friendly server. I made every effort to speak French only to get a curt Huh? Huh? from him. His attitude implied: the menu is in front of you, it's not that difficult to figure out. To make matters worse he sprayed the cleaning product on the table I was sitting at and got it on me. It didn't make me feel very clean. Mind you that the restaurant was almost empty and the table could have been cleaned beforehand. As a courtesy, he could have asked me to stand up or, better still, added the cleaning product on the rag and not on the table. Who trained this guy?!
P.S. The ramen spoon was wet before it touched the Ramen. Substandard.
Great ambiance and service, it’s a kind of trendy and young ramen place in Nantes. I have been to Nantes many times but never knew this place exists. I like how efficient it is, you pay upfront then you get a seat, so the turnover is quite fast despite the queue being long. The staff was super friendly and kind. We sat at the counter and there was sufficient place under the table to hang bags and coats so it was very convenient.
I would not really say the quality of the noodle soup was that great. I ordered the jigoku with spice level 2. The noodles were a bit soggy (instead of normal I should have taken Al denté for the noodles…), the egg was a bit powdery, soup a bit salty and not chilly at all, but the meat was good though. We also ordered the chashu don, the chicken dices were pasty with a bit of sauce on top, a bit of a boring dish unfortunately…
Such good food and such bad service, the guy at the cashing machine didn’t even say hello, we order, he didn’t take the full order and it was not correct. When at the table I realized they didn’t even asked for the size of the noodles or the cooking we wanted, so sad to have a bad experience in a restaurant we love.
Stopped by the ramen restaurant by chance. The soup is strong enough and the noodles were cooked well. We’re from Taiwan and have tried quite a lot Ramen in Asia, I would say this ramen is local, good and recommended. Also the price is reasonable in Europe :)
Tried the ramen here and it was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every bite. The service was excellent and the place itself is very pleasant.

Song Saveur et Sens is a glamorous Vietnamese restaurant in Nantes that has been making waves for over a decade. Chef Nhung Phung, a self-taught globetrotter with Vietnamese roots, brings finesse and creativity to her dishes, blending Asian influences with local ingredients. The elegant powder blue decor with Zen touches sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu offers a fusion of Asian traditions and French flair, featuring poetic dish names that spark the imagination.
Great food, lovely presentation and staff. Would highly recommend. We had the shared starter (“tapas”), the (deconstructed) bao bun and steak mains, and the chef’s special dessert
Jenny W — Google review
We waited for dessert too long because the kitchen served all the desserts at the same time. When we finished our main dish, we had to wait for the desserts from the table next to us to be served at the same time! And they came an hour later than us.
If you want to try something different than French cuisine this is an excellent choice. The ambience is very nice, too
A good restaurant that serves good dishes influenced by eastern Asia. Prices are higher than usual, but they have offers for lunch. Good quality, waiters are very polite.
Asian fusion food. Nice design, great service.
Really good food.
Service was a little off, but ok in the end.
Amazing service!!!! And the best food. Very fresh and delicious. Best place I've eaten in France.
Very delicious dishes with great mix of taste.

A typical traditional french restaurant. The food is good. Personally, I enjoyed the bruschetta! Also, the plateau with the starters is a good idea to taste a bit of almost everything. Good choice for some traditional dishes.
Food was great! Snails were tasty, dip up the sauce with your bread. The shrimp risotto was flavourful (again, dip up the sauce with bread)
Staff were nice and spoke English.
Great atmosphere on the street outside at night.
Great staff!
Very interesting plates.
We tried the big plates of sea food and meat! A really nice selection of specialities so you can taste almost everything this lovely restaurant has to offer!
Don't forget to try also escargots in the entreés!!!
Probably the best meal we’ve had in Nantes. Monkfish stew was amazing & warming. Tuna & beaf steaks were impeccable! Service is fast. Very attentive & enthusiastic staff. Fantastic place!
I just had the best Salmon in my life.(and I am from a coastal city) It's so tender and moist, cooked to perfection. The sauce is flavourful but not overwhelming. The cod fish ceviche was also to die for, with avocado cream & spicy tomato sauce. Dessert was a strawberry & raspberry ”soup” ropes with pistachio mousse.
Highly recommend this restaurant in #nantes. The service was also very great and friendly (in both French and English) we went back for dinner twice in a row. We are really happy that our hotel concierge recommended this place.
Was very impressed with food. We took snails. They were amazing. And took calamari in carbonara sauce. They were amazing. And as well crème brûlée was very tasty.
Staff is very nice and friendly. Highly recommended to visit this place.
Reasonable price (15e for a lunch course) with amazing quality and taste! Nice staff and fast service as well. I would definitely go there again! It was a very nice lunch :)

The taste of the food at Bioburger Nantes is highly satisfying and delicious. However, some customers have mentioned that the burgers are slightly small for their price and that there was a lack of pepper sauce. Despite these minor drawbacks, Bioburger Nantes comes recommended for those with smaller appetites. One customer ordered a double cheeseburger but received a regular one instead. The staff promptly apologized, offered to replace it free of charge, and were praised for their excellent service.
Ordered from here twice on our recent visit to Nantes (we actually stayed directly above the restaurant). Great burgers, efficient service and friendly staff.
Tom S — Google review
The food is absolutely delicious—no complaints there. However, the service experience left a lot to be desired. On the Friday before a long weekend, there were only two staff members managing both the kitchen and the front counter. At one point, they had to pause taking orders to make more patties in the back, leaving customers waiting 15 to 30 minutes just to place an order.
The staff member at the counter seemed unfazed and offered no apology or acknowledgment—she appeared to think this was entirely acceptable. Frankly, from a business perspective, this is a missed opportunity. If I were the owner, I’d be seriously concerned about the lost revenue and poor customer experience.
That said, we were with family and grateful that the kids received their meals first. We passed the time with a beer while waiting to place our order. Great food, but the operation and service model need urgent attention.
I ordered a double cheeseburger, but noticed that they sadly served me only a normal one. As i reported that, they said that they would give me a new one and that i could keep the other one(for free)!
Both burgers and staff were amazing and the meal was filling. I would definitely recommend it!🤝
Unfortunately really poor if you’re a vegan family, because there’s a vegan menu for adults but absolutely no option for children at all which doesn’t make sense.
Excellent customer service. Tasty food and coffee. Very good prices.
Okay if nothing else is open. Rather mediocre.
Burger were nice, started putting up all the chairs an hour before closing. Created a very unwelcoming atmosphere
Delicious. Great service and staff really accommodating. Fries are super yummy!

Very nice shopping mall with a great selection of various stores. Easy parking both outside and inside. IKEA at the end of the mall (inside). Worth a visit.
Very busy place during holidays, also well decorated. Decent offers during the holidays as well. Mostly visited ELeclerc here and had some snacks. The area outside is quite picturesque especially during sunrise and sunset. Need better walkways during the rains.
Great place to go shop.
I went because there's a discount at the moment but didn't find what i wanted.
The shopping center is great lots of shop and it's pretty big.
At the end of the day its a shopping center.
This is the biggest shopping mall in Nantes. 1. They have special events for Christmas like photo with Santa Claus and etc.
2. They also have various options for restaurants inside from crêpes Breton, chinese food, burger, mexican food, french food, and... Five Guys!!
3. They also have IKEA and Leclerc.
Also completed with various types of clothing stores from Adidas, Zara, H&M, IKKS, Mango, etc.
For tourists/visitors in Nantes, if you want to go to the Atlantis, please remember to take the tram 1 with terminus "François Mitterand". The reason is because I crossed a lot of people who took the wrong one and they got confused about where to go. It's not a big deal, but it's always nice to plan your itinerary accordingly!
I've never seen such a big mall. Very well organized.
Huge mall with Ikea, leclarc and every other shopping brand in it, one stop shop for everything, has lot of food options too
Have been there once to shop my kids loved the carousel

Cool place, was not very big so it's easy to go buy a drink and go back to our place. But parking is surely a tricky thing because this area don't have its own parking for the people who come to see a show. Maybe park either in atlantis area or near mcdo or near kfc. Need to walk a bit after but not so far.
Cannot say anything about the sound system as I am not a pro, but overall it was a nice experience. However, after the show is finished, the only way to get out from this zone is through only one bridge so it was a bit crowded.
Excellent venue, loads of parking, on site pizza bar, sandwich bars.
Everything about the concert staffs were great, and I saw my favourite composer Joe Hasaishi! Nothing could be better except for the quality of the sound effects. I would say this stadium is not specifically designed for a symphonic concert as the sound is not clear enough. However the temperature and airflow are well controlled.
Really good venue, well organised and a fab gig, the only reason I gave it a 4 not a 5 was that our seat was right up to 1 side and this affected the sound quality. If your anywhere else it sounds fantastic.
i went to a few concerts there and it's pretty cool, there's enough gates for the waiting time to never be too long.
it is easily accessible via public transit and it's close to the athlantis mall meaning that you can go eat and shopping right besides it before or after going to your concert
Large concert hall
Not so convenient for public transport users

It has ancient statues, tiny off-road paths, a pond, lawns for activities and although it was crowded one definitely has their own personal space due to the size of the park. The flowering bushes and trees are definitely a what a person needs for a screen detox on a weekend. Recommended for families and solo visitors alike.
Very big, calm, clean, soothing to eyes. If you love peace and nature and like to sit in sun and spend hours, this is the place. There are few rides for kids. Drinking water and clean toilets.
Wonderful hilly park with paved paths, nice public bathrooms and a nice variety of trees and plants. The park is especially nice for runners since it connects to a bigger network of parks in the area.
Fantastic park,one side with lovely big trees and large, lush lawns, the other side past the bridge a wild meadow with lush grass and trees. Just like being in the middle of lovely woods in the middle of town.
Such a great place for a great adventure. There are a lot of different games and easy and hard challenges. You're gonna get tired in the end but it's worth it
This park in France is very large and beautiful.
The grounds are well-cared for with many trees and shrubs.
It also has a pond with ducks swimming about so it's really peaceful there.
It also has a small children's bobsled and a carousel for their enjoyment.
Overall, this is the perfect place for a Saturday or Sunday outing.

What can i say...
One thing that i love about traveling is exploring places where the locals go do their every day shopping.
The Talensac market was one of the places where I just wandered just to feel the vibe.
The smell, the noises, the people.
I didn't buy anything but i feel like cash is the way to go.
Also one thing, i didn't see some seating area for you to consume the fresh produce that you just bought. I get it It's a market place not a chilling area but it could still be fun.
Great experience! Slightly more expensive than the local market, but the quality is also much better. Would definitely recommend for all to visit!
The market has fruit and vegetables at the exterior and cheese, meats, cakes and other specialties inside. It is quute large, prices bigger than supermarket for many products but also great diversity and quality.
Great place to get some local produce. Fresh fruit and veggies plus meat and cheese from all over the France and abroad. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Very nice market just very close to tram stop 50 o'tage. The price is quite reasonable for the center citizen. I can find all kind of fresh foods.
Very fresh produce. But also very French; just because it’s a market doesn’t mean it’s cheap. Everything is a bit to a lot more expensive than in a regular supermarket, so only come here for the nice things you want to indulge in— fruit, oysters, wine, cakes, foie gras, jams
Wow what a place, fabulous fresh food of every description. It's a must on a Sunday morning.

Botanical garden
Jardin Extraordinaire is a newly created botanical garden located in the rebellious district of Chantenay in Nantes. It is set in an old quarry surrounded by steep cliffs and features tropical palms, banana trees, and an artificial cascade. The garden offers small pathways for wandering and a children's play area. Visitors can also climb a long staircase to reach the top of the quarry for stunning views.
I was simply speechless while wandering around the garden! Big congratulations to whoever is behind the project, I love how Nantes is keeping the legacy of Jules Vernes alive ❤️

This is a beautiful park, that has such an amazing density of plants! Despite its small size, there are places in this garden where it's easy to forget that you're in the middle of a medium-sized city! Beautiful scenery inside the park, and lovely panoramic views from the top!
It was incredibly beautiful, we had a wonderful time. Even though it's still under construction, we thought it was well worth it. We had a wonderful walk around and were very impressed. We're very curious about the final result. We'll definitely come back.
It's a beautiful Botanical garden with little covered paths. You feel like you could get lost, even though it's not that big. A little piece of paradise in the middle of the city. Flowers were still blooming. I was there on a rainy day.
Very elegant and well-kept gardens, it feels like being inside a labyrinth.
Even though the garden is pretty recent and it needs time and sun to grow more and get even more impressive, it is still a great place to wander around. Children can run around like in a maze on the various small pathways. The waterfall is quite impressive. Lots of different type of plants are present in this small ecosystem.
If u like to walk and enjoy nature.. this is ur place to be... if u have kids there is also play ground for them.
U can also sit and and enjoy the vieuw😎
A really beautiful place to visit. The downside would be that half of the park is still being built. Another downside would be that it is not really accessible as a tourist. There isn’t a tram that goes to this park. However, would definitely recommend to visit if you are in Nantes.

I like the concept. It is am open space where you csn sit inside our outside, selfservice. You first pay and then get the food. It is very good value for money. But a lot of queuing and food will get cold. I had potatos, makreel, salad and a chilled beer. All were nice.
Lots of space for children to run around and play. Only downside: very loud music.
The whole island is great with lots of art. Good location to relax and refuel after visiting the machines!
Cool place for a drink and a bite with some entertainment for kids.
Cheap, fun canteen style lunch service. Very limited menu - meat option, veggie option, meat and cheese platter and daily special.
Perfect with a stroll along river after a visit to the Machines.
Very good unique menu, the chicken is great and the salad from the fresh vegetables is refreshing. The wine was correct as well. The places for children to play is great, they can climb up and down for a very long time without getting bored, making it easy for the parents to eat!
We came here in order to get the free drinks from the city pass (this is a must do, your missing out on free drinks) after scanning the QR code they gave us a portion of the menu which was included in the city pass. This included some beers, some wines, and all soft drinks. We chose a lemonade a cider and a beer. They all came in small glasses which was not ideal. There was a DJ who was kind and let us do a song recommendation. Would come again if I'm the way.
Great place to feel free.
Great value food that actually tastes great. Great environment for kids. Nice staff.

Probably the best park I’ve been to. The fountains were so peaceful and made better with the amount of ducks (and even tortoise!). They had some cool guys around to spot with an amazing plant garden at the back. Had lots of fun activities for kids. Even had a cute chess place right in the middle of it - you have to bring your own pieces but the boards are there on the tables. The numerous public art about was fun to stumble upon. Such a lovely park
Oliver D — Google review
I love this park . It is Tranquil and beautiful . The park is one of the best I’ve been to . It has a magnificent Deer statue, lots of ducks , a lake with an interesting fountain and even a little area with some goats . It also has some very quirky big benches , which made me chuckle . It is only a stones throw from the main station as well , so is perfect to visit while waiting for a train.
The scenery is beautiful and expansive, with interesting sights everywhere you look. It’s truly a must-visit. The variety of plant species is impressive — and discovering a special ‘Taiwan section’ was especially moving.
A truly beautiful and tranquil spot right in the heart of Nantes. The Botanical Garden is the perfect escape from the summer heat, with plenty of shaded areas under tall trees and lush greenery. Everything is very well looked after, clean and organized
This is a beautiful park, easily accessible from the center city, and nearby to many other attractions. Even in the middle of a busy weekday, the park was relatively quiet, and it was easy to find shaded areas to sit on a bench and enjoy the natural surroundings.
Beautiful garden near center of Nantes, excellent maintained and has a great range of different flowers and trees, as well as artistic objects. Many benches to sit and enjoy the scenery. Free entrance.
Really nice walk out to the location from the city centre. Well worth it, very peaceful park with a fair few different things to see.
A beautiful, free garden with a large variety of flora. You can't sit on the grass but there are benches. There is also a cafe and play areas for children

Only one tower remains of the two towers of the LU biscuits factory. Since 2020 it is the center of Contemporary Culture with a bar, hammam, meeting and conference space for rent, this is a convivial space for creative exploration according to our friendly waiter. Close to the castle of the dukes of Brittany, train station and downtown.
Not a bad place. I recommend the pulled pork burger and the LU cake
This wall is the remaining part of the LU biscuits factory in Nantes. Now, it is a cultural place with a bar and a library.
AMAZING space for concerts, a meal, a meditation, or just a hang and a drink. Right on the canal, awesome ambience, cool art exhibits, a library. I want to live there.
I loved this place whenever I came. Great free cultural public place with fresh spirit and friendly good vibes. The free friday night Dj set is really a good idea.
Great exhibitions, mostly free, a book shop with a great selection and a bar/café with the coolest crowd of Nantes. Usually hard to get a table.
Beautiful building with a small library and cafe inside. Library has good books and cafe has nice collection of breakfast items.

Currently closed and under refurbishment. But you can tell it's impressive. Don't forget to go to the square at the back. More sites there...
Such a pity that all this eglise is closed off. It's had a lot of fire damage done to it and I guess for safety reasons it's all barricaded off. There are really pretty gardens beside it though that we wandered through and it was nice to see the eglise from different angles.
Gorgeous. The archways are intricately details. The columns are awesome. It gives of Very nice and inviting feeling. Nice to go in for mass or just to sit with your thoughts or prayers. Very beautiful and inspiring. 🙏
I am always in awe of the architectural work of the cathedrals and churches in Europe. This cathedral in Nantes is in the gothic tradition. Construction began in the early 1400 century And was not completed until late 1800. In 1862, it was listed as the monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
We visited in the week nice and quiet spent about an hour in hear lovely stain glass windows
Beautiful place.

This museum was an unexpected delight. I’ve visited many museums in different cities and countries, but this was the first where I felt every item was presented in the best possible way, with lighting that showcased each piece perfectly. It’s also included in the Nantes Pass.
After a visit lasting over six hours, I fell in love with this museum. The building is extraordinarily large, and the works are all beautiful. I really enjoyed the Electric Op exhibition, and especially the opportunity to interact with certain works.
A nice few hours spent there without any tiresome from overwhelming art pieces. Just a quiet gallery that makes one feel cozy and get to enjoy the beautiful collection.
The collection is awesome. And I was expecting to be done quickly. It was huge. I’m not the number-one-fan of 15th and 16th century stuff but even I found awesome pieces that blew me away. The halls with the very large works are incredible…the sheer size ist breath-taking.
A museum about art throughout the ages. You see known and local known artists with various art styles. Each room have a specific age or theme so you go to a specific room as an option.
Really fantastic art museum with some beautiful works by artists I hadn’t been aware of. Worth a trip to Nantes.
I was surprised by the exposition they offered: Chagall, Delaunay, Kandinski, Dubuffet, Richter, Mitchell, Lempicka

Lamaccotte - Restaurant Nantes offers a sophisticated dining experience in a warm and informal setting. The cuisine, crafted by Maxime Fillaut, is characterized by generosity, flavor, and high-quality ingredients. The restaurant occupies a modern space within a historical stone building in the city center. The menu changes daily to showcase fresh market produce, and each dish is beautifully presented.
I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant after being drawn in by the rave reviews, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Opting for the tasting menu with wine pairing was a fantastic choice. Every dish was a delightful surprise, but the standout was the fish and quail plate, which greeted us with an enticing aroma and filled our stomachs with satisfaction. The staff's meticulous explanations of each dish and their knowledge about the wines elevated the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable culinary adventure.
Diana L — Google review
This restaurant offered an interesting meal with some great dishes showcasing impressive technique. The artichoke starter and fish main course were the standouts, arguably the best plates we have had during our trip to Nantes. The service was also great, especially from the friendly and attentive younger waiter.
However, some of the other dishes were let down by one simple issue - the ripeness of fruits. The firmness of the fruits in the tuna starter didn’t complement the extremely delicate fish, but worse were the apricots in the dessert. The flavours of this dish were fantastic, and the oregano sorbet was a revelation (I’ll definitely make this myself at home). But crunching down on an underripe stone fruit, with the texture of a crunchy apple in a furry skin, was just unpleasant. I suspect this dish will soon be rotated out as we near the end of the French apricot season, it is just disappointing for us that this wasn’t done in time for our visit.
For those tourists (Americans) who do not frequent France very often and - unfortunately to us - do not speak french, to read the French restaurant menu is somewhat of a challenge. But we are all foodies, we all want the best experience .. So here we go - with Chef's menu and wine to match. And it did not disappoint! Great service, nice atmosphere, and of course the unexpected, never tried before delicious dishes! Simply wonderful! Thank you!
P.s. Pictures added: onion tart and honey and Lemon dessert
The food and service was first class. The staff spoke good English, which was great and friendly of them. The seating was comfortable and the toilet super clean. We throughly enjoyed our lunch visit!
I got the menu of the day and the selection was very good! I enjoyed every dish and wine selection was also good! The place is very calm and attention is nice. It wasn’t hard to get a reservation.
I was turned away with a booking!, the restaurant was empty (no one was in) and I was rudely informed that this restaurant decided to cancel my reservation. How do you cancel someone’s reservation and not inform them until they walk in?The staff was rude and had no remorse about the situation whatsoever. If you are not from France, just avoid this place because you will be in for a wasted night. To further exacerbate the situation, it was raining and the staff did not even try to make up for their inconvenience and just let us sit down, given (1) I had a confirmation email the previous day which clearly reminded me of my reservation and (2) the restaurant had 0 customers seated. Just go to Cafe Cult, they treated us greatly after the horrible experience we had!
Background story: I reserved a table for 2 on Wednesday the 18th of September for a reservation on Saturday the 21st of September. As the confirmation email was written in French, I accidentally cancelled the reservation. Nonetheless, after a quick Google search, I rebooked a table for the same date and time . On Friday 20th of September (the day before my booking), I even received an email to remind me that I had a booking for the following day.
Amazing restaurant !! Best dinner I had while staying in Nantes !
The Service was excellent. It worths the price
Really tasty food and a cozy environment. The waiters were really attentive.

Diners can savor specialties such as the regional duck dishes served with various delectable sauces or enjoy delightful salads. The outdoor terrace provides stunning views of the Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne, adding to the overall dining experience.
This delightful little restaurant adjacent to the chateau ticked all of our French mini break boxes. I wanted somewhere classically French, without the price tag. Le Fou du Roi offers a midi menu which is €21 for two courses, €25 for three. Everything we ordered was exquisitely presented and tasted divine. The wine was delicious and very reasonably priced too. The best thing though was the location, we had a stunning view of the chateau, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the other restaurant lined streets of the centre ville. The waiting staff were delightful too, we highly recommend 🇫🇷

Adorable local restaurant with great French food and a good selection of wines and beers (including non-alcoholic beer). The service was impeccable, both in French and in English, and very friendly. The melted cheese is amazing and the duck is highly recommended.
If you're an American looking for an authentic French dining experience, look no further! This is the place to visit in Nantes!
Recommend to go at lunch time! The lunch menu is very good for value, with a incredible castle view!
Delicious regional food, excellent friendly service, good prices. Our family of 4 enjoyed our dinner immensely. Jessica, our server was pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating. Our daughter was served an excellent well thought out vegetarian dinner.
Delightful Restaurant! Outdoor seating in the sun with a view of the castle. Delicious food extremely well presented!

Absolutely wonderful restaurant for a midday meal. We stopped in on a Tuesday and were seated immediately. The full 3 course meal was delicious, and for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Very, very popular with the locals. We went on a Saturday. The bar opens at 18:30 and by 19:00 there was hardly a space outside. The atmosphere is great, and so is the selection of beers. The menu is not extensive, but it was perfectly cooked and very tasty. It's definitely worth a visit.
Cozy spot tucked away but clearly a popular local hang out spot. Lovely atmosphere and great homemade fries. Also I saw they had a few vegan options which is awesome! Definitely recommend this spot for a nice glass of wine and hanging out. They've got two outdoor areas if you can snag a spot!
Superb wine bar, great food and atmosphere.
We had a wonderful night at this quiet neighborhood wine bar. They have a super friendly crew, good wine and food. My wife and I had the hummus platter (damn vegans😂) and our friends had steak frites.
Went here last night for food and drinks and was very pleasantly surprised! Staff are super friendly and knowledge about the wine. The chef also recommend the dishes we should order and they were all delicious including dessert! Fun, chill, neighborhood vibe. Will definitely be returning!
I'm staying locally and went here based on Google reviews.
We arrived at opening time and were asked to come back in 20 mins at 18.00, we did and it quickly filled.
At 1830hr I tried to order some food from the daily board and was told I couldn't order until 1900hr.
I then saw another table having food brought out at 1850hrs?
My experience is at odds with the good reviews.
Just 4 stars for the actually perfect place...
The food and drinks (and the music) are amazing! we would like to stay longer, if the staff would be more open minded for not french people.

LuluRouget is a renowned restaurant located on the Ile de Nantes in the Zero Newton tower. The establishment, led by acclaimed chef Ludovic Pouzelgues, offers a unique 'Les yeux fermes' tasting menu with 3 to 7 courses for lunch or dinner. The industrial-chic setting features elements such as a ceiling inspired by Gustave Eiffel and artwork by local artist Jeronimo. Velvet seating and an impressive wine cellar add to the ambiance.
Always stay of with the negatives:
- architecture is not our thing but hey not too negative...
- 1 person had some bones in the fish fillet 🤷♂️🤷♀️
The rest was superb! Really almost deserves 2*
- excellent service, lovely apéritifs
- the amuse bouches were amazing
- starters for each of mackerel for me and lobster for my better half
- 2nd fish dish of sardines
- the lieu jaune with such lovely pepper sauces and purée!
- palette cleanser (herbal sorbet)
- Raspberry/chocolate desserts 😋

What a delightful evening we had! Each dish was meticulously prepared and beautifully presented. Every dish was packed with very unique flavours and tasted amazing. All the waiters were also incredibly friendly! Would certainly return if I was ever back in Nantes again. Merci beaucop
Thank you for letting me have a happy birthday meal here! The oyster is extremely wonderful. The bread, butter and olive oil are also very good! Thanks again for all your effort and these delicious food. I would like to have a birthday meal at your restaurant again ;)
An amazing experience. Every detail is taken care of, from explaining the collaboration on making the bread to the butter to every part of the dish. The explanation of the wine is interesting and told passionately. At this point I have not even talk about the food. The food is simply amazing, every single thing is perfect. An amazing experience that is definitely worth the money.
An exceptional restaurant experience with a very talented staff to assist us during the meal with detailed descriptions of the food being presented .. such a treat to be involved in this dining experience...A Must !
Really Hard to complain in fairness, absolute fine food from local providers.
Good client service from the personal.
Champagne must be served a tiny bit colder though.
Extraordinary! Very interesting dishes, beautifully presented. Extremely friendly service. Original décor.
A must try in Nantes.
If you are looking for a good restaurant in NANTES; I recommand it.

For day 4, these 5 places should be enough to fill your day with something exciting to do in Nantes. Start the day with Centre Commercial Beaulieu and make your way through the city to get to Centre commercial Paridis. This should take about 7 hours of your day.

Nice and large shopping center.
Variety of shops, brands, and restaurants.
Enjoy...
Cool place but surprisingly no drinking water facility. Strange that the Nantes city talks a lot about ecology but for an essential like drinking water, you will have to buy plastic water bottles!!
Nice mall. Has primark, a large carrefour and HEMA.
Parking place is not beautiful and clean
It is an ok mall with all popular brands. It was clean and tide. It is a 20-/30-minute walk from the city center, but it is also very easily reachable with public transport.
I've been a few times in the Shopping Mall to buy goods and cosmetics. It wasn't bad, per se, but I would take attention on stuffiness. Also, there are long queues in the goods supermarket. I'm think it is not a problem of SM. It is just for your information.
Plenty of shops to choose from and everywhere was nice and clean. I did like the bike helmet storage option at the front - this is a great idea and should be an option in more places

Takeout Restaurant
Au Vieux Quimper is a historic eatery that has been serving traditional crepes and galettes for over 30 years. Located in the charming Bouffay district, this rustic establishment dates back to the 15th century, adding to its allure. Despite its enduring popularity, the restaurant's warm ambiance and delicious offerings continue to attract both locals and visitors alike.
Great crepe and galette. The place is big with multiple options and selection of drinks. They were all really good.
The service was friendly and fast. The toilette is clean.
The children could dine in comfortably.

Delicious galettes, properly cooked as they are hot with melted cheese (some restaurants just heat a galette and "assemble" ingredients). Sweet crepes excellent too. Friendly service.
We were recommended to come here ticking off my list of what food must try in Nantes: savoury buckwheat galette and sweet wheat crêpe. We ordered Ham, cheese, and egg galette and Salted caramel and sautéed apple crêpe. Along with cider and lemonade.
Food and drinks came at reasonable time. Portion size is ok. The galette was really thin and crispy whilst the crêpe was thicker but remained crispy even with the topping. The flavours of the galette were what you'd expect from the ham, cheese, and egg whilst the flavours of the crêpe were subtle: neither too salty or sweet.
The staff were friendly and we enjoyed sitting outside with the sunshine. It was a positive experience and I'd recommend this place for those visiting Nantes and would like to try galettes and/ or crêpes.
This creperie is right inside the city center. The food was super delicious. They made really good salad that helped to balance the crepe. The server was very friendly and polite also. Highly recommend!!!
Oh my gosh! Best crape ever. You should definitely go this place.. it's my recommended michulleng restaurant 😋 I'm seriously visiting again for this place!!!!
Went for lunch - Really delicious crepes, we had savoury but a vast array of different options including sweet crepes. Good value for money, nice atmosphere and good location, service was a little slow
The place is slightly understaffed but the waiters and waitresses were still kind and highly professional with their service.
It's slightly pricier compared to other crêperies but this doesn't necessary translate to better-tasting food. I'd rate it as decent/not bad. There are tastier crêpes to be had elsewhere. Sorry, for the 4 stars but it was mainly for the taste. 😔
We decided to come to this place after seeing reviews on Google. It’s my first time having the crêpe in Bretagne. We ordered the Norvégienne salmon galette, and a simple crêpe with a jam. My husband loved his crêpe! I like my galette but the salmon was a little too salty for me. The cooked leek and cream was really delicious. The service was slow. I think it was kind of under staffed for an extremely popular place. The staffs were all extremely busy servicing the customers. The outdoor seats were quickly taken but there was an upstairs seating area, too.

Memorial
Museums
Specialty Museums
The Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery in Nantes pays tribute to abolitionists and the victims of the Atlantic slave trade. The city, once France's largest slave port, saw numerous ships depart for Africa daily. Although slavery was abolished in 1848, it wasn't until the 1990s that Nantes confronted its dark history.
Very beautiful memorial underground with some work also embedded in the pavements leading to it, subtle but powerful message.
There are two entryways, the starting point is by the Pont Anne de Bretagne (or the Chantiers Navals stop if taking tram #1), and there is a lift for those having mobility issues.
For in depth understanding of this there is recommendations to got to the musée d'histoire de Nantes, located in the Château des ducs de Bretagne.
Yeephang W — Google review
Very educational! Convenient location. Loved the layout and the concept of it. And admission is free!
Powerful way of telling about Nantes' implication in the Trans-Atlantic trade in enslaved people. I had the feeling of standing inside one of the ships that carried people over the ocean. Really intriguing and powerful to walk through this memorial. I like the fact that the city recognises its own role, curious to know if/how there might have been/be reparations.
Found this memorial simple but powerful. The history of the abolition of slavery was very interesting. I felt that it was underground added to the impact to the famous quotes about slavery.
I saw something like knowledge or catchwords. But the real thing made me tear is the singing voice of the escaping slave women floating on a river.
An eye opener and symbolic location near a river but underground. One can draw parallels with the harsh living conditions of slaves on ships living below deck, constantly rocked by waves during the crossing to the Americas or Europe.
A moving tribute to what was the slave trade, providing details about it before, during and after, as well as giving insight into slavery as a human rights issue as well. Plus it's free! I highly recommend visiting.
Very informative and interesting. Well worth a visit. Free.

Crêperie Heb Ken is a long-standing establishment in Nantes, the capital of western France and the former capital of Brittany. This charming creperie offers a variety of sweet crepes, savory galettes, and Breton cider made with local ingredients such as ham, goat cheese, strawberry jam, chocolate, and traditional salted butter. The menu features affordable options starting at 2.70 euros.
The crepes are good, the service was friendly and every time focused to the customer.
We took a table outside, this is here not so nice, like some other areas in Nantes. But anyway it is not a place to spend a long time.
I can really suggest the Heb Ken Crêpe, which was really good and it looks small but is totally enough for a full meal. The prices are totally okay, depend on your choices.
Henry S — Google review
I thought the food here was good overall. Kind of a small restaurant with limited offerings, but it is good!
I recommend the crepe with potatoes, cheese and ham
Great crepes. We each ordered different crepes, but similar. Also shared a appkw carmel crepe.
Really friendly staff and good crepes! We had the chocolate, chocolate coconut and sugar salted caramel crepes. The caramel one is a little too sweet for my comfort. Do remember to make a reservation during the weekends! There might be a queue :)
Great authentic galettes and crepes that really are in my opinion the best in town. I got a beautiful goat cheese, onion, and jamon crepe that really was so tasty for the main and finished off with a flambee crepe that was the best dessert crepe i've ever had!
We arrived around 1:00 on a Friday and had to wait a few minutes for a seat, but it was worth it! We got the onion/egg/cheese and the mushroom/egg/cheese and had no regrets. I've always loved a good savory crepe- it's like a gooey, delicious pancake that you can eat for lunch! We also got the side salad, which was just lettuce and balsamic but we knew that before we got them. For dessert we had chocolate/lemon and honey/almond crepes, which use a different flour that complements the sweetness. Trying to decide if we go again tomorrow!
Very tasty galettes (savory pancakes) in a cosy restaurant tucked down a side street with seating outside. The menu is a bit confusing, but basically your can order what you like it you prefer. The ingredients were really flavorful and the meal was filling. Each galette comes with a small side salad. The dry (brut) house Brittany cider was delightful. Recommended!

When in Nantes, the Centre commercial Paridis is a must-visit for a delightful shopping experience. This spacious mall offers a wide range of stores and services, including the impressive Leclerc supermarket, which is one of the largest in the Loire Atlantique region. It's an ideal place to spend time with loved ones, featuring a charming carousel for children and various dining options. Conveniently located near public transportation stops, it's easily accessible via bus or tramway.
This mall is big and has a lot of in stores, the supermarket Leclerc in thé mall Paradis is by far the biggest I had seen in my region Loire Atlantique. Nice place to hang out with girlfriend, friends, family and children's since it has a nice carrousel. Take the bus line C1 get down in the station Halluchere and walk less than five minutes. Or the tramway towards Beaujoire and get down in Halluchere.

Been there and hygienically, I'd rate the place a 7, however, in terms of explorers conduction, I'd say it's not so impressive. Nonetheless, a great experience ; overall.
Although I seldom shop inside of this mall, if it's three things that I do make a stop here for from time to time.
1. My bank is located here, and even if it's unfortunate that it has zero drive through capabilities in 2025, going to the bank is necessary!
2. Jeff de Bruges Chocolatière I cannot get enough of 🍫
3. Yves Rocher Instituts, because I'm a woman who cares about the little things that make me feel incredibly relaxed and prepped for another week✨
Meh, it's ok. Small mall with a few eateries same a few small clothing stores. Large grocery store as the anchor. It's ok. Not much variety.
You can find anything you want in there! There is even a little barber shop where you can get a good haircut with a very friendly price!
The pastries are always fresh and delicious, especially their Citron Tartlette (Lemon Tart) which is my all-time favorite.
The Tartlette is perfectly sweetened with the perfect amount of lemony tartness. Yummy
I had good shopping here. You'll find just anything.
These commercial centres built around one of the major supermarket chains are always incredibly well laid out with great shops offering very competitive prices on everything needed for everyday life. The E Leclerc ones seem to be the most variety. Great groceries, great food, great produce, great variety of shops and eateries.

This crêperie features illustrated panels depicting the adventures of the mysterious Corto Maltese. The food is inspired by Brittany, with galettes and crepes filled with emblematic local ingredients.
Must go!! This place was recommended by the Table of Nantes 2018, and you can definitely see why. Went on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant itself is adorable and cosy. It smelled so good once we stepped inside, and the quality of the galettes and crepes are incredible. I recommend any galette with the coulis de tomate - it’s made from their own tomato paste and unique to this crêperie.
Susan Y — Google review
A vegan option for a crepe - limited but very nice. Have to get there earlier for lunch if you want a seat, but friendly staff.
Unpretentious and warm setting for a cozy galette dinner made with organic ingredients. We ordered the Penn-yar galettes and requested an addition of spinach to the filling. The waitstaff were very accommodating. We have enjoyed galettes and crepes here before and appreciate not only the local and fresh ingredients used, but that they are made to order (i.e., not pre-made/reheated). We plan to come here again on our next trip to Nantes!
Went in for a quick bite in this charming creperie in the center of Nantes. The galette are exquisite and portions are abundant, the service is attentive and rapid with an overall good quality/price ratio. Highly recommend it!
The food was great and reasonably priced. I choose the 11€ option. You get a savory crepe, drink and sweet crepe. Hight recommend for cozy vibes and a satisfying bite.
my first crepes in france and the €12 meal was delicious - savoury cheese, washed down with a fruity beer and followed by a sweet buttery dessert crepe.
the waitress seemed stressed and inside it's cramped would work better if you paid at the table than queuing inside.
great location in town on a quiet street
We reserved a table for a big group and it was lovely. The waitress was very nice and so were the gallettes and crepes
I went there for an unnecessary dessert after a heavy dinner. It was absolutely delicious. The crêpe fillings were perfect but there was something absolutely amazing in the flavor of the crêpe.

Fast and helpful service! The fries were average but the sandwich and the kebab was good. Card and cash are accepted. The Algeria sauce was delicious!
Very kind staff and clean kitchen. Also they serve very delicious Turkish tea.
I come here frequently for a falafel sandwich. So filling, and worth the only 6.50€ with fries on the side. The fries are ALWAYS served hot and fresh and their chile and Algerian sauces are delicious. Kind and attentive service and definitely my favorite kebab restaurant in town. Stop by if you're downtown.
A great restaurant with very nice workers. Can recommend the food and it’s a good spot to take a break and refresh :)
Falafal is best for vegetarian. I am also vegetarian. Tasty food good price. And Owner are really good in nature also.
The meal was priced at 6.20€, but they took 7.80 because there was alot of people, on the other hand it was a fairly good meal
kebab cold , staff not organized , not reccomendent at all. my 1st and will be last time here.

La Gavotte is a charming creperie located in Nantes, offering a delightful selection of crepes and galettes.

It's a local family-run establishment that can get crowded and noisy due to its popularity. While the menu may not be available in multiple languages, the owner is willing to assist with orders.
Highly recommended. I found this place by accident and am so happy I did. Very good galettes, very nice and good service and authentically decorated. I'll definitely go back if I'm ever back in Nantes.

An authentic creperie with delicious food, ambience and incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. One of the highlights of our trip.
Interesting set of crepes and galettes. Tasty food fast served. The place inside has a lot of table, but half of them are reserved for dinner. This is a local type of family restraunt so it can become crowded and noisy. The peices are at average level and maybe even a bit higher, but this not expensive and fancy place. Service is fast and staff is friendly, but do not expect menu in English or other languages. Though owner is willing to help with order he cannot translate you everything. Overall I do recommend this place.
Delicious crépe. Great servers & a very nice atmosphere. When we ate there it was full of elderly people which made us feel very cosy.
Tasty pancakes and charming people

A fantastic evening at this famous restaurant. It’s great to see that these guys keep up a great quality level even when they have had their star for so long. Fabulous service, the view over the Loire is fantastic, the food is super (as expected). Will gladly come back!

The best experience in my life. I wish I could just go back to Nantes soon only to eat here again. Thank you very much for sharing your talent and good environment.
Incredible food and service. The propositions were ambitious and always very well realised! We had a wonderful time as a family! A very warm thank you to the whole team.
We took the menu with 4 dishes. Starting with the good points for the food, the merlin with mussels, yellow tomato and courgette worked very well (highlight of the menu). The sweetbreads were also excellent and the dessert were very good. Unfortunately, the apetizers didn't work. Taste and consistency was underwhelming. Boring start. The fishsoup tasted like it came from a can, and the lobster dish just didn't work at all. The gel had no taste and it covered a lobster-ginger salad, which was way overpowered with ginger. The cold dishes and soup were executed very poorly, whereas the fish, sweetbreads and dessert were excellent.
Succulent food, excellent service, great value for money. Very brave with mix of different flavours and colours. They live up to their Michelin star. Keep up the great work, we'll surely be back!
Well, I decided not to book a table in the end because of the very unpolite phone reception. I felt I was causing the person a problem to find a time for me to come and have dinner. Called another "Star" restaurant with a much nicer phone reception.
We had Amazing experience there. Great staff and service. Delicious food. It’s real culinary adventure
A wonderful place ! The meals are so creative and delicious. The staff is very welcoming and nice.
