Gourmet offerings in Nantes' most elegant brasserie.
Inaugurated in 1895, the building itself bears witness to the architectural spirit of a famous ceramist: Emile Libaudière. Faïences, sculptures, fries, paintings, mirrors, colors are historic jewels that can be admired here. This brewery was therefore the birthplace of the Ukrainian bourgeoisie, which also met the artists of the Graslin theater. Then the surrealists made their HQ, and the twentieth century of filmmakers took the beauty of the place to turn famous movies. In 1964, La Cigale is listed as a historic monument… Today, in addition to the frame, we come to share a cuisine served continuously. You can start with a rich breakfast served at 7:30 a. m. (until 11:45 a. m.) around hot pastries, coffee or famous house chocolate, or even wrap on full brunch with a gourmet plate, watching Nantes who awakens. If you arrive in full afternoon hunger, the map will offer a wide selection of inputs, seafood and oysters, as well as meat and fish from the fishing of the day, accompanied by vegetables, not forgetting the choice of local cheese and desserts. Don't miss the beef tartare prepared before your eyes with a maestria that we don't get tired of! For the fans of the tea room, artisanal ice cream and pastries will enjoy a relaxing moment in a pleasant setting. Unique, inconvenient, unavoidable…
(Avis d'origine)
Very touristic, nice classic style environment but terrible food. Meat was like a sole shoe and completely cold and it come after we wait almost for 1 hour, we could not eat. Restaurant did not replace and charged us the full amount. Avoid restaurant!!!! Maybe a coffee in the afternoon.
Le service était très agréable, très professionnel.
L'ambiance était fort chaleureuse, la cadre historique aidant aussi il faut dire !
Je recommande, budget a prévoir en conséquence cependant.
