I had the tuna, which was perfectly cooked and surrounded by a succulent puree of red peppers with leeks. The wife had the lamb, which she also said was delicious. For a starter we tried the scallops in a cream sauce--so tender and NOT overcooked. Desert was a homemade mille feuille that used whipping cream instead of pastry cream, making it much lighter than your usual mille feuille. The service was brisk and efficient. If you can get a table on the terrace, go for it. The restaurant was packed on a Thursday night so be sure to make a reservation and expect tight tables--typical in France.

As you can see in my photograph, everything looks beautifully appetizing, so don't necessarily let my review dissuade you. Today, I ordered the Colombo du cochon and the Dôme au chocolat (au lait?). For the Colombo du cochon, first let me say that the pork was perfectly cooked (they gave me a steak knife, but there was absolutely no need; so tender!). The sauce (although lacking salt) was also very good. However, the rice was undercooked, the dried fruits had absolutely no flavor, and the julienned vegetable medley just couldn't decide if it wanted to be under or over-cooked. For the Dôme au chocolat, I was really disappointed. The plate was so uncoordinated, with far too many flavors presented. There was a mini scoop of berry ice cream with cookie crumbles underneath, a dome of dark chocolate filled with berry mousse again with cookie crumbles underneath, patches of fresh strawberry, peach, kiwi, and pineapple, swaths of salted butter caramel sauce, and a powdering of chocolate powder. Too much! There was something off about the mousse. I kept tasting it to double and then triple check, but there was definitely a chemical note. I know those cans for aerating mousse batter probably don't have aerosol in them, but that was the "kind" of bitter aftertaste I was getting. One last remark about the dessert and then I'll shut up: it was definitely marked on the menu that the dome was made of "chocolate au lait" (milk chocolate). And while there's nothing wrong with switching it up from milk to dark, if the dome isn't milk chocolate (it wasn't), don't write milk on the menu.

The building itself is remarkable because the famous writer Jules Verne was born here. The ambiance is classy, and the place was pretty empty when we went, which I was surprised by. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating of my father's dietary restrictions (no dairy, meat, gluten etc...). Normally, dining out with such food restrictions in France is a nightmare. At several other restaurants we went to in France, the staff acted offended when asked to prepare a meal for my father, but not here! They made him a nice salad and vegetable dish, which he enjoyed. My mom, sister, and I were able to sample some classic French dishes here. Our meal was fantastic. I tried frog's legs (les cuisses de grenouilles provençales) and escargots for the first time. Both dishes were excellent. The frog's legs were lightly fried--perfectly crispy, and topped with seasoned chopped tomatoes. The escargots were well cooked, served with oyster mushrooms (pleurottes) and a delicious sauce. We enjoyed pork cheek (la cocotte de joues de porc au sirop d'érable) and two fish dishes for our main course. The wine we had (Domaine Martin Côtes du Rhône Villages, Plan de Dieu, 2013) was also excellent. All-in-all, this was a wonderful, authentic French meal. For anyone seeking a nice dining experience that's not too expensive in Nantes, definitely come to Le Nouveau Monde!
