Drinks are reasonable (especially so for centré ville and place bouffay) and the food is fast, fresh, and inexpensive. Beers for about 5€, bottles of wine between 10€-15€, 'tartines' or basically pizza on slabs of toasted bread are between 4€-7€. I stumbled across this little gem after having lived in Nantes more than six months, and I've been kicking myself for not having found it earlier.

We see one place open, and we know that they know that they can throw rillette on the table and we will happily pay for it. Instead, we had one of the best lunches in France. First and repeatedly, the sole waiter was On It: we were going to get attentive service on his watch, dammit. I ordered the fish soup (because the French around here are not afraid to have it taste like fish), which was wonderful, and Herself had a salad with chevre melted over toastettes, with a small pot of blue berry preserve, which caused Herself to wax poetic about Morbihan culinary genius. They have great tomatoes here, better than California (except for home-grown or heirloom). BTW they call a dish before the main dish (or plate) the "entree", which makes sense as it is the start or entrance to the meal. So then, I had muscles. A pot of them. With curry sauce. I hoped for a Thai or Indian style curry, but it was a curry-flavoured cream sauce. That took it from excellent down to "very good". Herself had a lovely taglitelli carbonara, quite pleasing. She was glad she could order a rosé without getting a wine cooler our having others snicker because she ordered rosé. They also have decaffeinated espresso! And it's good. French have the food thing down; maybe wine too. But coffee, leave that to the Italians or Philz. I'm not saying it's always bad, but don't expect a lot.

Came here on a whim after seeing the Formule Midi…read more 9.90 for the Plat du Jour 12.90 for E + P or P + D 15.90 for Entree + Plat + Dessert I came around 12:30pm on a Tuesday, and it took a few minutes until someone acknowledged me at the door and showed me to a table, and took even longer to receive a menu (but that's just French service, I've realized). The interior is a little strange - the furniture is beautiful and matches the beautiful outside of the restaurant, but some decorations and wall art seem a little out of place. Bathroom is on the second floor of a very windy staircase. I ordered the Ouef Mollet, Salmon Risotto with Fine Herbs, and Moelleux Chocolat. The starter was a soft boiled egg on top of mushrooms cooked in wine. The egg was runny and helped balance out the strong flavor of the mushrooms. They also give you a side of bread, which was perfect for soaking up the sauce. The main course salmon wasn't very seasoned (again, it's a French thing to under-season, apparently), but I liked that the skin was crispy and the flesh was soft and flaky. The risotto wasn't as creamy as I was hoping, but the fine herbs were very prominent. There was also a lemon cream sauce that encompassed the rice, which made a nice addition to the salmon. Portion size was also satisfactory. The moelleux chocolate came warm, but I know it was sitting out for a while before reaching my table, because the ice cream had melted significantly. The inside of the cake wasn't as fudgy as I would have liked, which was a real bummer because I've had really good moelleux chocolat during my time in Rennes. I found a piece of foil in my cake, and after telling the server, she said (not nicely or rudely, very matter-of-factly) "well, it's made in a foil cup so they can't help it" All in all, great food, good value for the price, and every dish that I saw other tables ordering looked delicious.

We were experimenting that day, so we tried a plate of frog legs (not my thing, but I had to do it once). I ordered the zander, and it was perfect.

Their menu looked extensive and my husband was excited to try the seafood. When we arrived at this bar/brasserie/restaurant around 6:15 pm entering through the vinyled side entrance as per the sign on their door a very casually dressed man who I assumed worked at the restaurant greeted us. After asking him in French for a table for four he asked "pour manger?" to which I replied "oui" he said in English "we don't serve food until after 7 pm." He was short with us and did not offer any other options. Other people were sitting at tables; we were not offered that option. I'm not one to assume ulterior motives, but I felt very uncomfortable and suspicious that things were not on the up and up. My radar for discrimination was starting to ping. We left and found a more welcoming place. If the restaurant truly does not serve food until after 7 pm they need to make that clear on their website.
