Val'r knows how to entertain with its fine selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. A vast choice of mojitos awaits you, depending on the season and the surprising creations: in fact, a new mojito is discovered every month. In fine weather, you can enjoy your mojito on one of the two pleasant terraces. Inside, the decor revolves around coffee: burlap bags around the tables and coffee beans scattered here and there. In summer, we add other fun little objects to the ceiling: flip-flops, rakes, small inflatable balloons... It's the perfect place to enjoy a margarita away from the downtown crowds, or to try something new like bourbon coffee with a hint of vanilla. It also offers a wide range of exceptional products (whisky, cognac and top-of-the-range rum) and sells cigars. The sound ambiance is excellent. Numerous themed evenings are organized, some with DJs. Check out the program on their Facebook page.

We love this bar with its early 19th century seaside architecture, located at the foot of the Grande-Plage, offering a view over the ocean. A highly coveted location! As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, you'll have to elbow your way out onto the pretty terrace with its wooden pallet furniture, as the crowds flock to this trendy place. Inside, stone walls, wooden framework and salvaged furniture make for a warm atmosphere, especially when accompanied by friends over cocktails and an aperitif board during one of the concerts.

The Guinguette is an institution in Trentemoult thanks to its atypical surroundings, with its boat bar, its apparent beams, its old tables and its ancient antiques. Even if dance no longer dance or Java as once, the place always maintains the spirit of guinguette where laugh and good humour are good. Ideal for a drink on the Loire quays in this peaceful fishing area, sipping some tapas: fish rillettes and quenelle. Or for convivial evenings thanks to its programming of intimate concerts with local groups, two Sundays a month.

With its 12 rooms, the UGC Cité Atlantis offers a wide selection of films for all the public, children and amateurs of V.O. understood.

Your place is numbered (every night and weekends, and every day during school holidays), so you can arrive just at the beginning of the movie if you want. Large free parking and easy access offer another advantage. The Ciné Café is a convenient place to wait for your friends to taste fresh or hot drinks by viewing the trailers of the next film releases from the giant lights… The children will be particularly interested in the candy wall, adjacent to the bar.

An ideal place to have a drink with friends or to eat while avoiding the hustle and bustle of the streets in the centre: set up opposite the entrance to the castle, at the foot of its towers, the elegance of the place is undeniable. This cheerful and creative bar offers a wide choice of cocktails: in addition to the classic Mojito and Piña Colada, the Claire Chazal (gin, sugar, lemon, ginger, strawberry), even if you don't understand its name, is delicious! As for the cuisine, it is generous and without fuss, just like the area it honours.

It's raining, what to do? The escape game is the perfect indoor activity for a family outing, with friends or as a cohesion exercise during a company challenge. Three scenarios are proposed: "Museo Trip" where you will have to break into a work of art just before an opening, "Deadly Remedy", based on a scenario of bacteriological warfare, and "On the tracks of Baba Yaga", a voodoo witch. In "Investigations in the City" (outdoor): help Celestin, a globe-trotting duck, put an end to the Doctor's plans by scouring the city for clues.

Here is a bar near the new bridges especially appreciated. And that is understandable! The bosses always smile at the lips with an impressive dynamism. Consumption is at the right price. We recommend that you take our heart: SALES, from sweet rosé with grapefruit syrup and pieces of green lemon. Don't hesitate to ask "potato petals" or small things to eat during your festive meeting. On the decoration, it puts on the comfort so that you feel as well as at home. And this from the terrace to the room. Brown and white tones, the interior prints the image of a beautiful living room or a pleasant walk-in room, extremely warm. There is a large wooden counter, comfortable benches, high stools, small small tables and comfortable chairs. The Counter is very successful as a night bar, and you will soon understand why. On weekends, the dance trail lives on the rhythms of laughter and déchanchés. So test without moderation!

By leaving the bay of Saint-Nazaire, after the roundabout of Sautron, at the beginning of rue de Pornichet, you find this bar with the strange name: ' The Appart, cultural space '.

You are in the midst of a rich furniture, with tables and comfortable armchairs and armchairs, on the wall of artist's exhibitions, in a corner where the most interesting groups in the region are taking place, and at the bar, Habib, the mastroquet, who traveled a lot before putting his bag in Saint-Nazaire. In its bar you can enjoy excellent drinks with good music. A short walk away, this bar is located far from the city centre. Undoubtedly in the top 5 of the bars on the peninsula.

On the first floor, the slot machine room covers the entire area, with the bar (reserved for adults) on the left, as does the gaming room. The games on offer include texas poker hold'em, English roulette, black jack, ultimate poker and slot machines. Upstairs, the restaurant Le QG, decorated with modernity in pink and gray tones.

A true mixology enthusiast, Laurent (the owner), trained by one of the world's most renowned French masters, welcomes you to his bar, where two different atmospheres reign. The Cuban-inspired decor on the first floor transports you into a warm, colorful ambience. The space, Latin rhythms, house-arranged rums and non-alcoholic cocktails will give you a unique experience on the revolutionary island.

Cosy leather sofas and retro music welcome you like the speakeasy bars of Chicago's nicer neighborhoods. You'll find Cosa Nostra godfathers and an exact replica of the famous Thomson Tommy Gun.

If you'd like to learn how to make your own cocktails, there are workshops every Friday, where you can try your hand at three different cocktails. You can also book a private room on Monday and Tuesday evenings. This Old Mans establishment is well worth a visit for the originality of its cocktails and its decor!

The café les Palmiers became Sous les Palmiers la plage in 2016. Anne-Gaëlle Orgebin, the new owner, has renovated the place into a small café on the bay, by the beach, books to read or buy, a small vegetarian restaurant, a play area for children, board games, aperitifs-concerts, reading evenings, a bistro where you can meet regulars and people passing through. Already unavoidable.

The Triolet has one of the best views of Nantes. Nestled at the beginning of Sainte-Anne, just look towards the Loire to understand.

The Théâtre du Sphinx in Nantes, founded 33 years ago by Patrice Fourreau, has just been rejuvenated under the management of Christèle Guéry and Julie Toublanc. The new managers have undertaken modernization work while preserving the unique soul of this charming private theater, dear to the heart of its founder, who passed away in 2020. The eclectic and varied program, ranging from contemporary theater to stand-up comedy, one-man-shows, music and dance, remains faithful to the spirit of proximity intended by Patrice.

Gone is the Galand brasserie tearoom, hello Mimoza and its appetizing green front. Pastry chef Sylvain Guesdon has just taken over the establishment, renaming it Mimoza after the mimosa egg. Simple and effective! The soul of the patisserie lives on, as Mr. Galand has passed on his recipes to the new head pastry chef. Upstairs, the seminar area is transformed into an atmospheric bar from Wednesday to Sunday evenings, with platters and cocktails. On Rue de Bolton, Mimoza has reserved a space for takeaway sandwiches. The new owner, who already runs three bakeries, knows his stuff when it comes to sandwiches...

Café Noir is undoubtedly the island's best-known café, where you might even bump into a few celebrities. Intemporel le CNN (son surnom) ! Established in 1975, it enjoys a sunny location most of the day and a direct view of the port. It's the place to come for a morning coffee, or to share a dozen oysters with friends, but the Café Noir also offers a few suggestions of the moment, with brasserie-style dishes of the day, salads and beef tartare. Plusieurs fois dans l'année, des concerts y sont proposés.

Welcome to Cloclo and Phiphi! The "almost" guinguette (especially Sunday) is located at the entrance to the Daguenière, just after Trélazé (the route of Saumur). Close to the Loire, this nice restaurant tells us something: the French would have nostalgia for the time when the accordion was the king of the feast, not the techno music… Because on Sunday midday, the accordionist brings to dance both the old and the younger… Of course, you'll also be style (see Restaurants chapter).

A good atmosphere in this typical Irish decor. The terrace is covered with old barrels, drums, bags of jute cafés, which we are looking for. Inside one would think in an old galion, decorated with rigging with its masts, sails and ropes… We drink beer and whiskies… Irish, of course! Taste the famous Beamish beer. Experience sports events on giant screens. The Dock Yard program is very complete and is not limited to Irish music concerts! Indeed, the house opens its stage to musicians of all kinds. The weekend is reserved for the benefits of the DJ that will give you the desire to dance until late in the night! You will find the program on their Facebook address!

In an atmosphere code, this sober and classic bar offers concerts, funk evenings (every last Saturday of the month), reggae evenings (every first Saturday of the month), electro evenings (every last Thursday of the month) and many others. The program is available on the Facebook account. The unavoidable Max and his team (Popeye, Ratatouille…) welcome you in the right mood! It is really nice to have a drink on the terrace in front of the Loire and Sainte-Anne.

This well known Nantais shop is a reference in the fields of pastry, ice cream, chocolate, roasting and also as a tea room. You can meet there for a good cup of coffee or tea, with delicious pastries. The success is now so well established that there are several Debotté shops in Nantes (tea room activity in the ones on rue Crébillon and rue de Budapest). You can find there high quality products; whether it is excellent chocolate rochers or macaroons that are no less, frangipani from another world, the Nantes cake where rum is not overused. In short, to try to list all the succulent products offered by this brand would be a challenge. The only thing that remains is that everyone will find something to their taste. Because here, whether it is pastries or sweets (caramel, négryllettes, berlingots...), everything is made with fine butter. It should be pointed out that anyone who would like to order a pièce montée would be at the right address. To conclude, let's not forget to mention that the exterior and interior of the shops are very well looked after and that the welcome is perfect. A house in which tradition is preserved with a quality artisanal production from father to son. Please note: at lunchtime, home-made hot dishes are served on rue Crébillon and rue de Budapest.

This night bar in the city centre is well known for the Nantais students and students. It has been recently renovated, but still hosts a lot of tone on Thursday, and the age of the regulars on Friday and Saturday turns around 18-25 years. Another club, the Etoile, was created on the floor for those over 25, more lounge and cosy! It is between the. street. You can also rent rooms for tone, birthday or other private evenings.

If the card remains fairly classic, the huge advantage of this bar lies in its 130-seat terrace located in the heart of Nantes, place du Bouffay. In the evening you can enjoy good wines, salami (pepper, serrano, wild boar…) or beer, including the amber from Bouffay in pressure. Managed by Alain, Christophe and Denis, Lulu has a warm and easy smile, and strong arguments to spend an evening in good company, just like its alter ego cinema of the Tonton flingueurs…

It is above all for the most unusual view of the Vendée that one comes here! For good reason, this bar-restaurant is located at the foot of the Gois, a unique site. As if set at the end of the world, Le Relais du Gois is a family business that has been in place for several decades. One comes here above all for the view. We appreciate the decoration in the style of a saloon, in the modern spirit of today. The menu focuses on seafood, including oysters from the bay, harvested a stone's throw away. The only downside is the high price of some dishes, especially when compared to the beautiful neighbouring restaurants.

Bahia is new. It's a lovely Brazilian stopover in Nantes! In this warm and inviting coffee shop, tea room and lunchtime restaurant, you can enjoy coxinhas, Brazilian-style doughnuts, Portuguese-style cod acras or sweet and savoury tapiocas. Assortments to share? Julia, the manager and cook, has family in Bahia (northern Brazil). The drinks take us on a journey, like the 100% natural coconut water, Bahia or Bahiadeiro coffee, with the unmissable homemade brigadeiros, Valrhona cocoa chocolate truffles. Bahia also offers culinary workshops: chocolate-making, spreads and pastéis de nata! What's more, you can brunch here!

On the island of Nantes, a stone's throw from the Elephant, an exceptional pastry shop has opened where Sabrina, a naturopath by training, and her husband Grégory Lejeune, a pastry chef, work. They both decided to combine their respective passions around this daring and very successful project. This establishment also gives pride of place to creative, healthy and natural pastries. This alternative pastry shop favours the senses: sight, because "you eat first with your eyes", as Sabrina says, and taste, with flavours such as the pears poached in hibiscus juice in the Déli'biscus (sweet pastry, organic vanilla diplomat), the circle of spirulina on the organic vanilla and white chocolate cabbage. The creations, as pretty as they are tasty, are less sweet because they are made exclusively with natural sugars (for example coconut blossom sugar) with a low glycemic index (ideal for diabetics and gourmets who have to be careful), such as the matcha green tea macaroons, with no additives or artificial colourings, with certified organic French flours, as well as non-hybridized and gluten-free flours. The approach is delicate and healthy, ethical and responsible because it favours local and seasonal products. Délicatessaine is also a tea room where you can sit and drink tea or coffee. And you can also enjoy home-made chocolate bars. And as soon as possible, educational workshops will be offered to learn how to bake lighter. To be made: healthy and tasty snacks for children, or pastries for people suffering from allergens. We can't wait!

Built in 1818 in front of the grain hall, this building was used for paintings and butchers. But during the fall of the hemp industry, the halls were deserted, before they were erected in 1851… a theatre! Today he has retained this second vocation: A ballroom occupies the ground floor, the Rex Theatre with its two balconies is located on the floor. It also serves as a theatre and cinema room. It is one of the last Italian theatres still operating in France, and it offers excellent programming.

Few cafes have their room listed in Historic Monuments! Le Procopius and Le Train Bleu in Paris, the Round Table in Grenoble, La Cigale in Nantes and… The Café de la Place at Château-Saved! It is true that the decoration of this beautifully restored place is superb! In 1900, the Julia earthenware et and the woodwork adorned with walls and ceilings are in style in the late th century. In addition to the bar, this cafe is also a small brasserie, with two dishes of the day appearing in six formulas of the day.

Canyon is the first flower café in Nantes. Created by Julia and Simon to delight the senses with dishes, pastries and flowers, the place offers a restaurant with an American touch, revisited with local and seasonal products. You can enjoy a grilled cheese, the club of the week, or a salad, then a homemade granola with vegetable coconut yogurt, or even a trio of sweet or savory pancakes. To be enjoyed with a colored milk like the amazing Raw cacao (fresh raw cacao paste), or a black latte with black sesame and charcoal. Canyon is also the place to offer you a country bouquet composed of pretty seasonal flowers. A pleasant and atypical place!

Like every year, between July and August, during thirteen wonderful evenings, you will be able to enjoy four well put together operas at the Baugé Opera Festival. Young promising singers, professional conductors and choirs participate. In a staging conceived for the festival, you will vibrate with Verdi's Un ballo in maschera, Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana, Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortilèges or Smetana's La Fiancée vendue. All this in a bucolic setting where talent and charm are perfectly matched, not to be missed!

Overlooking La Parée beach, the first thing that caught our eye was the pretty landscaped terrace with its old-fashioned greenhouse. The seafront location is already an undeniable asset, but the chic, vintage decor is another. On Sunday mornings, locals gather on the large terrace to enjoy a dozen oysters against this panoramic backdrop. The Épicurieux's other hobby is wine, which you can accompany with a charcuterie board to share with friends! Several concerts are organized throughout the year.

Guillaume and Sam welcome you to the Bar Bar for a moment of conviviality in the heart of Graslin district. Côté Déco offers a lounge atmosphere with red velvet chairs and stools and black furniture, wooden bar and mirrors. The attentive service to the guests and the warm atmosphere of the games make it a place where friends love to find themselves! In the evening, under soft lighting, we appreciate its beautiful cocktail card: Margarita, caramelinha, cahipirinha and many others, under a sound of groove, jazz or soul. Twice a month, DJ sets.

In September 2011, the Zigidi revived a youth: a new black and red plant, indicator panels hanging here and there showing destinations of the end of the world… On every First Thursday of the Month, you will be able to discover a wine from the world presented by a wine specialist, who will be able to wiggle during the girls'evenings and we will not forget the Wii evenings. The Zigidi is a partner of the Gaumont, so there will be some evenings to play. Not to be missed, the gourmands gourmands, every evening from 20 h to 22 h (taco and cold mix is offered).

In the Bouffay district, the VIP discothèque welcomes you in its two rooms with red tones. His musical programming offers dance, rythm, disco and electro rythm. Every Thursday theme nights, a photographer is there to mitrailler you, who knows, your photo may find itself on the site! If you don't like the crowd, this place is to avoid because usually the VIP is crowded, and it's pretty tight dancing. A box to make the party all night long!

Here the decoration is inspired by all the holiday sets you dream of: exoticism, sun, beach… a bar corner and a little more intimate room in the background, with a welcome to the image of the garden: warm! A large selection of cocktails, renowned for being delicious, with or without alcohol the fruit is king and the bar is shown permanently relaxed and in good mood!

With its two levels and its decoration where wood, steel, old stones blend, the Callaway has a picturesque charm that slides it into the abonnés of night addresses. It's a bar where all of you are revellers to the closing of other addresses, before you go dancing! Clearly most people who arrive here late have only one objective: get drunk in the right mood! For this there are two rooms available, and for groups you can come many: it's spacious! Nice detail: with your drinks we give you a little plate of candy! Sweet party!

For your relaxation a dj brings a musical atmosphere from Tuesday to Saturday. But the interest of the place are the famous after restaurants! Yes, when you come out of an exciting evening, you often have a little creux. Nothing like a little tour at La Bassamoise before going to bed! You can indulge in culinary delights with French-African specialities. The best way to avoid the headache of the next day? A good meal to fill all this!

The Cinématographe is Nantes' oldest cinema, showing films since 1908. Housed in the former chapel of the Carmelites, it's pure charm: a single room with exposed stone walls, old-fashioned armchairs and big red curtains. Its aficionados are loyal! In terms of programming, it specializes in art house films. The cinema also offers special slots for young audiences. We'll be taking advantage of this place steeped in history before its planned move to the Cours des 50-Otages in early 2026.

This community cinema in the Saint-Jacques district was created in 1928 and still operates largely thanks to its volunteers. Classified as an Art et d'Essai cinema since 1983, it has a capacity of about 350 seats (accessible to people with reduced mobility). The program mixes new and older films. Sessions are available for the deaf and hard of hearing. The Bonne-Garde has been awarded the "Young Audience" label, and children are given a special place! Times are also organised for seniors. A great local cinema for young and old!

Hit with the Librairie bookshop, this high-attendance bar student, see a little high school, gives over the course of the 50-Hostages, the ancient course of the Erdre. The bar is composed of a ground floor (where stone and wood blend with boxes in the bottom), a mezzanine above and an amazing terrace when the summer points to its snout. Brasserie (salted, panini, midday dishes), amazing vodkas for advanced evenings: there are for all tastes. Only a few, even if you take a coffee, they don't give a glass of water, you pay your mineral! Not very nice with regard to the price of the black…

Open 7 days a week, and until late in the evening, this bar is well known for smokers because it is also a tobacco office. It is the rescue place that troubleshoots the lack of nicotine in the evening and avoids overtaxing of gold-priced cigarettes in the downtown boxes or bars. There is a large terrace and more intimate rooms on the floor. A traditional and chichi bar, a drink side, it shows higher prices than elsewhere by its location at the heart of the Place du Commerce.

In the summer, the large terrace, with no fewer than 150 seats, allows you to enjoy the entertainment of one of the most picturesque squares in Nantes. Inside, the room, divided into two parts, is not very large, just as it needs to be warm while leaving a little intimacy for those who have secrets to share. Temporary exhibitions are of good quality in the same spirit as the place: connected, without doing too much. The staff were friendly and helpful.
