Delirium is a terrific bar, right on the canal, specializing in Belgian beer. Most of their taps…read moreare dedicated to Hughye drafts (e.g. Delirium Tremens), but they have a nice selection of others. I had an Averbode, which was fantastic. The taps are clean and everything is very well-poured. The bar itself is also a very pleasant space, with a large indoor/outdoor area that opens onto the street at the front (smoking permitted), and an airy, high-ceiling interior, more reminiscent of a German beer-hall than a brasserie. Great bottles and interesting glassware in cases are the primary decorations. The crowd is a mix of regulars, locals, young people, with a smattering of tourists (though most are across the canal). Service is friendly and helpful. It's also quite spacious, with plenty of tables and seats, so would be good to bring a group of friends. The prices are excellent--3.50 Euros for a delicious glass of Belgian draft can't be beat!

Un mur pieusement conservé lui fait face où l'on voit, encastrées, les traces de cheminées anciennes. La petite place juste devant permet de boire une bière (plus de 40 bières en bouteille, surtout belges) à l'ombre des arbres touffus. Les toilettes - faut-il le dire? - sont pittoresques !

I wanted to try the main plates but I wasn't hungry. All the ingredients are Bio and fresh. They just serve lunch, but the coffee, beer and wine, and grocery are available until night and late on the weekends. I will definitely be back! The service is excellent. They are very friendly and attentive. There are hardly any places to get coffee on the Ile de Nantes, but this place is perfect. It is the only place I have found with a strong wifi connection, great coffee and a cool ambience. The decor is so charming and inviting. There is a bar area and I another upstairs spot for eating or drinking coffee and using your laptop/ reading. There is a small outside patio seating too. The location is right in the heart of the Ile de Nantes, just a few steps from the Loire and the bridge connecting to downtown Nantes. I have been looking all over Nantes for a place like this. I'll be back!
