A mansion dating from 1890, with a shaded terrace, on the banks of the Loire, is the pretty setting for this culinary institution in Basse-Goulaine. Inside, the villa boasts an impeccably smart décor peppered with purple seats, coupled with a smiling welcome. Behind the stove, chef Jérôme Ponchelle composes a refined gastronomic score with a strong Loire identity, giving pride of place to local produce (frogs legs, Loire fish, curé nantais cheese). Nice wine list.
