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…

Café decorado como art-deco. Está como hace 100 años. Los camarerros todos uniformados y atentos. Es caro.
Pensez à réserver pour y aller.
L accueil est chaleureux et le service très agréable. On y mange très bien. Les plats ne sont pas toujours très copieux mais très bon. L'attente entre les plats est un peu longue.
Cela reste une belle adresse incontournable.

The manager was pretty rude. Not a very hospitable place if you are a non-white foreigner and don’t speak French. They market themselves as tourist friendly but that’s the furthest from the truth. ????

Le chocolat chaud et les pâtisseries en font un lieu incontournable
