The best bars and cafés Pays De La Loire

Here, near the Grue Jaune, on the green line of the Voyage à Nantes, we taste all kinds of ciders. From the good old Norman cider, to the Polish, Swedish, Latvian or Catalan ciders, there is something for every taste and every country. The city of Nantes has few cider cellars. Sidras has about sixty references, proposed in bottles and plays on cocktails. You can also taste local beer, from the Nautile and AERoFAB breweries, or even Muscadet from the Loire. The spreads, provided, are at small prices. The cellar also honors calvados and plans to combine this brandy with today's pleasures. Meals on the spot. Take-away sales. Theme evenings.

Inspired by her years spent in London, Claire wanted to create a friendly, lively space in the Delorme district, where the motto "Manger, Siroter, Créer" is possible at any time of day. In addition to the restaurant, the Clapton Café is a coffee shop where you can take part in one of the workshops the space organizes on Saturdays: embroidery, sewing, linocut... In a cosy, friendly atmosphere, you can enjoy this interlude, accompanied by a drink and/or a sweet treat from the house. For the more studious, it's possible to sit down and work in the café. Any excuse is good enough to push open the door of the Clapton!

Want to have a drink in the open air, with your feet in the sand and your eyes in the blue of the ocean? Here is a very nice address. A nice wooden modular in front of which stretches a long terrace, settles in the summer season on the beach of Saint-Hilaire. We really like the furniture and the place in general which comes alive in the evening and proposes some concerts in summer. Drinking a drink with little things to nibble while listening to a musical group with the ocean just behind, what better program for vacations or relaxation after work?

Poum Poum T'chak! Just by reading the name, you can already hear the drums, ready to warm your heart in these troubled times. Aurélien Collin, the manager, took advantage of the confinements to renovate his bar, and thus push his project even further: that of offering a privileged place to let musicians and comedians express themselves in complete freedom. He offers an eclectic selection: jazz one Tuesday a month, funk, gypsy, rock and classical music jams one Sunday a month, rock and metal concerts - no one is left out! Enjoy a good sound and a good drink, and off you go for an excellent evening you'll remember for a long time to come!

Do you love bubble teas, coffee and can't say no to the pleasure of a pastry? Welcome to Elephan Tea! This is definitely the place to be for all Angevins who love a little gourmet break. In a spacious setting, freshly renovated to give way to modernity, you'll have the opportunity to savor bubble teas made according to the rules of the art, accompanied by delicious homemade treats, of course! It's the perfect place to unwind after a hard day's work.

It was a PMU bar for many years, it is now a "cellar, beverage bar and living space". Antoine and Manon have taken over the reins of this emblematic establishment and redesigned the place to make it a cellar and bar. Beautiful references proposed, essentially biodynamic wines and craft beers. If you have a hard time deciding, you can trust Antoine's wise advice! To relax, have a drink and an aperitif, the bar has three spaces, including a small courtyard with a glass roof. The atmosphere is warm and pleasant, you feel good there. Wine you to drink: the invitation is clear, and we run there!

Le Chat Lon de Thé is a beautiful idea, from the head of the sympathetic Sarah and Marylou. In the heart of the Saint-Aubin street, they created a tea room where nice little fur balls are wandering around. What a pleasure to warm up with a hot chocolate or to enjoy a rougail or a croque-monsieur in the ambient purring of little cats. Our two managers have a great pleasure to share the history of their little companions and discuss their respective characters. In partnership with several associations, these cats are available for adoption with a symbolic payment of the pupping and vaccination fees. Beware, a crush happens very quickly!

Adjacent to the cellar of the same name, take a moment to relax at the bar of La Tonnelle and enjoy the countless bottles ready to be uncorked and savored. With over 1,000 different references in the adjoining cellar, you're sure to find the nectar of your dreams. Wines from all horizons, as well as beers and whiskies, there's something for everyone here. And because we know you're gourmets, the tasting boards, garnished with local produce of course, are the perfect accompaniment. An ideal place to unwind.

Hungry at any time of the day? In this US-inspired coffee shop, you can satisfy your sweet tooth. A sweet and savory menu that changes 4 times a year. A cuisine based on world dishes, as well as several vegetarian dishes: grilled cheese, dal coral (Indian), chili con carne, burgers, falafels... You didn't have time to have breakfast? Mayday offers a "breakfast". Dilemma of choice for the snack break: our heart balances between the cheese car, the carrot cake or the banana bread.

Opposite the pier that leads you to the island of Yeu, a cosy place, which in addition to offering a bar menu is part of an eco-responsible approach to eating good and healthy. On the bar side, we take out the mixology card for cocktails, for soft drinks, we note a Community cola or an Orangina house. Au Bout du Monde looks like a nice Parisian brasserie and it is also visible in the menu which displays tartar with home-made fries, burgers, big salads, Buddha bowls, fish ceviche, without forgetting the brunch on Sundays.

Beatrice opened this cosy place in 2022. In the heart of Mareuil, Les Rives Enchan' Thé offers a unique panorama, overlooking the river. It's nice to sit down and taste one of the good home-made pastries with a background of jazz. At the entrance, a store with a range of teas and infusions, cookies including those with violets. The interior, with its comfortable armchairs facing the fireplace, its white piano, its benches, is very warm and invites you to let time pass in this unique place, where local artists exhibit their works.

Central location for this coffee-shop with terrace, which expanded a few months ago. The soft, soothing decor and warm atmosphere are ideal for enjoying gourmet hot drinks such as the Déli-brownie, also available in a cold version with whipped cream, chocolate coulis, flaked almonds and brownie pieces. For those with a small appetite, the address offers a range of snacks including tartines au gratin, bagels and, for the healthy side, bowls.

The delicate decorations in the window are a real eye-catcher. This refined patisserie-tea room, with its pure Japanese style, is run by the excellent Masatoshi Takayanagi. For a moment of rejuvenation and peace. A lunchtime menu with miso soup and delicate dishes is also available. But the stars of the show are the cakes, small or as entremets. Our favorites are the Yuki, with its Joconde cookie, yuzu marmalade, yuzu mousse, honey cream and yuzu icing, and the Sésame, with its success cookie, black sesame mousseline and black icing. There's also a small delicatessen section with Japanese green tea, genmaicha and matcha. A warm welcome awaits you.

Located next to the Musée Dobrée and just 2 steps from Place Graslin, Handy (Have A Nice Day) is a lively place run by Guillaume, who opened this multi-faceted restaurant. From morning breakfasts to hearty lunches, brunch specialties and a gourmet tea room, there's no shortage of ways to indulge! One of the restaurant's special features is that (hearty) brunches can be enjoyed throughout the week, as well as at weekends. With "classic" formulas like the "Handy" formula, with a choice of a hot or cold drink and a choice of cooked eggs: scrambled, poached, fried or the chef's famous eggs Benedict, but also smoked bacon, sausages and vegetables and potatoes of the moment. You can also indulge in an eggs-only option, served with toast and salad. Pancake lovers also come to try the inevitable Sweet Stack: 3 pancakes with whipped cream and maple syrup, or the Savoury Stack with crispy bacon, 2 fried eggs on pancakes. On weekday lunchtimes, a "lunch with love" menu is added, with a choice of 1 starter, 3 main courses including the famous Handy P burger, and 2 desserts, depending on the chef's inspiration: beautiful presentation, fresh produce, inventiveness: everything you need for a Nice Day! The lunch menu changes every 2 weeks, and there's always a vegan dish! It's worth noting that at Handy's you can have brunch even "late" (10am-4pm). Last but not least, you'll love the sweet treats on offer: Guillaume's French toast, homemade pastries and Greek yoghurt with nuts, honey or homemade granola! A great address!
