La Brasserie - Nantes

The server was on his own and stressed. Mist if the items on the menu were not available. I took the lamb which was tender but dry with a very sour cream and undercooked inedible potatoes they tasted like they were off. Not at all enjoyable. Never again!

A lovely place to eat, we had breakfast, and evening meal here. Excellent service at night, from a lovely little waitress, that could not do enough for you, and made you feel at ease. Food excellent, atmosphere ok.

We arrive late to the hotel didn't get into the restaurant till 30mins before closing. We were shown to a table by Guilem and he was very polite helpful throughout with our mix of English French !! The monkfish black risotto is very nice the classic club sandwich packed with filling!! We would eat here again whether staying in hotel or not.

While staying at this hotel for a total of five nights, we enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet with its array of cold cuts, local cheeses, croissants and other breads, fresh fruit, yogurt, and really good coffee. Scrambled eggs were available, and there was also a device in which one could boil eggs to one 's liking. While the breakfast was exactly the same every morning (except once when they had run out of eggs), it made a pleasant and satisfying start to the day. One evening we had dinner, which, unfortunately, was a quite different experience. While the service was good, the food was not. Pretentious presentation the starter arranged on a slate, the main course on a weird plate made to look like one square plate on top of but slightly askew from another one could not disguise the unpleasant meat flavorings or the vegetables that were as overcooked as they were sparse. At first we were the only customers, but then a tour group came in and was seated on the other side of the room. At first we welcomed the more lively atmosphere, but then there appeared two entertainers, a pair of female clowns. Their antics before the tour group were annoying enough, but then one of them grabbed two bottles of wine from the bar and came over and plopped them down on our table. We did not find that amusing, nor did the bar staff. Combining my rating of excellent for breakfast with one of terrible for dinner, I will be charitable and call this restaurant average.

Close to the center of Nantes with direct access to the TGV train station and a shuttle link to Nantes Atlantique Airport, the Mercure Nantes Centre Gare is ideally located at the crossroads of the Euronantes business district, the Cité des Congrès events center, castle and Machines de L'Île.
