Cafe de L'Europe - Nantes

While it's in a nice square, the food was lousy.

This is a traditional french bistro, great for lunch or a drink and clearly a meeting place for locals. It is not fine dining, but good well cooked food. Great staff, this became one of our favourite's for pit stops for a drink and for lunch.

European coffee was a place where I was going with pleasure a few years ago. I had lunch today, a fisherman salad, it was disappointing. a smoky, oily, tasteless salmon, of poor quality, I have not finished it; 2 shrimps in skewers, dry and oily, the texture of the defrosted product is well felt; vinaigrette shining some salad leaves. In positive, the bread was good and fresh, and the little fish rillette was good as well. Fast and careful service, but that is not enough.

We stopped at this brewery for lunch. Positive experience: very good copier plates. fast service and active and very smiling staff. I mean, frankly, a good address. A good point to the owner/manager who took the time to give us some useful information about the city. I'm a little surprised by the very negative comments on this brewery.

The advantage of the restaurant is that it serves all the time, when we wanted to eat at 3:00 it was okay. service was fast, no more for sympathy, but on the other hand I took a salad with bacon in it. The bacon were gray! I almost ate nothing. The previous time, the meat was full of fat and badly cooked, I figured it should be a mistake, it happens to everybody, but the lardoon blow. Never again.
