Wonderful food, huge choice of all 3 course, I don't know how they can afford to stay in business at these prices. Drinks were very reasonably priced as well, service excellent. Restaurant absolutely full (we booked) with locals, some of whom were in work clothes on their lunch break. No tourists in sight, which is always a good sign. Cannot praise this restaurant too highly. As a tourist you wouldn't come across it, but definitely worth a detour if you are in the area.

Si l'été il est conseillé de profiter de la terrasse, l'hiver la cheminée est chaudement recommandée. Dans le choix des plats on vous propose des formules sympathiques.

Désireux de changer un peu les habitudes des sarthois dans la consommation des vins, ils ont fait entrer dans leur cave un très bon Corbières et ont aussi du Madiran à déguster avec du canard.

The fish was not fresh and it was not seasoned well. For the first time in my life I retuned the fish to the kitchen. Reluctantly they provided me a different choice. The service was cold except for one person, and we seemed have a constantly changing cast of waiters, so unfortunately the good waiter did not attend to us for long. I ordered the strawberries and mascarpone for desert and it was unremarkable. All in all a disappointment.

It's great for people watching and realizing that even the people of Nantes are all dressed chic - though they are far from Paris. My lunch started out with my tumbling around with my French, but without my asking, Joseph, my server, asked if I wanted water for Sophie my little dog. Wow. Thoughtful. I stumbled around again with my French, but he didn't seem frustrated. I ordered three things. The escargot bretagne, the melon et jambon et less hûitres - which are local of the Vandee River. They were HUGE but not chewy. Ive been told and I have read that in France it is rude not to finish one's plate. I hate being rude and he assured me that I would not be rude should I not finish. As I warmed up, my french flowed a little better. Over all my experience eating alone here was very pleasant because my server was enjoyable. The food is to be expected because I ordered rather generic things.

So this place is part of a chain, and you know what to expect. Good and fresh food. It won't be "wow" but it's good quality. A good mix between the sea food lovers and carnivores. The traditional choucroute and Flammekueche from the east of France, and oysters and other sea food from we of France. Service is quick and efficient, you never have to wait a long time to get the attention of a waiter and get your dish on your table. We still quite often come here when wanting a simple but good lunch, without spending two hours in the restaurant.

My favorite market in Rennes, and the only thing I look forward to on Saturdays! This market…read moresprawls across the city center, and because it's so close to the Sainte Anne metro station, it makes it all the more appealing to me! There are hundreds of vendors selling all sorts of products: flowers, fresh produce, meats, seafood, baked goods, sweets, cheeses, and dairy products, as well as food trucks and stands. All the prices are relatively similar, but there are a few stalls that sell their produce for dirt-cheap prices. The produce is VERY fresh, so you should consider buying only what you can eat within the next few days. I particularly love the baked goods section of the market, located inside the covered buildings, because of the wide variety. I get my favorite mini kouign amann from here, as well as beautifully baked brioche loaves. No one has told me a definitive hours of operations, but to my understanding they're open from at least 9am-1pm, but go as early as possible, because with each passing moment, it gets busier and busier, until you're drowning in a crowd of people.

One of the biggest and most famous in France, Le Marché des Lices is pretty great! There must be several hundred stalls selling any food you could possibly want: fresh fruit and veg, bread, cakes, meats (cooked and raw), honey, and much more. If I lived closer I would have dived in and grabbed some of the delicious looking fresh (and often still alive) seafood, but I don't reckon the smells would have been too friendly after putting them in my bag and walking round all day in the glorious spring sun. Round the corner there is also a large flower market, but for me, it was all about the food. The fruit and veg are considerably cheaper than the fare I can find in Nantes, and the quality is excellent. Keep an eye out for the jam stalls - it will probably take an age testing out the dozens and dozens of delicious jams but that's half the fun isn't it. I bagged a kiwi and pomelo confiture with a really unique taste and I can't wait to eat it with fresh bread. Many of the vendors speak pretty good English although I was able to get by my average French. Like most markets in France it shuts at 13:30 so if you want to take your time browsing try to get down earlier rather than later. The same can be said about buying lunch there. There are maybe two dozen trailers selling lunch fare in between the two covered halls, and when I queued up at 12:30 to get un galette de saucisse (a sausage wrapped in a buckwheat crêpe - a local favourite), I had to wait for a good 20-25 minutes. Sure it was quite nice, but trying to eat this at the same time as hurriedly buying pink garlic and saucisson de canard. You can probably grab similar fare throughout the city with much less waiting. All in all however, a really great place to look round and buy some choice produce.
