Really lovely place, nice people and lovely food. Two friends who are so welcoming. Great wine. Made me feel really welcome as they’d opened. Good wine suggestions and very reasonable. Thanks Alex and Maxime. From London to Nante.

Lovely wine bar & restaurant. Serves small plates in the evening with a lovely selection of wine. Staff were super helpful and spoke good English (which helped as my French is somewhat lacking). All for a very reasonable price! Venue had a lovely atmosphere and is frequented by a lot of locals Overall strongly reccomend to anyone visiting Nantes!

So friendly and great wine! I did not really like the tapas. We had three different dishes but we went for the wine so I can not fault.
