"Founded in 1850 and housed in the oldest building on Place Stanislas, Grand Café Foy takes its name from General Maximilien Sébastien Foy, who served under Napoléon. Dining at the restaurant, which is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m., is a bit like stepping back in time, when massive mirrors and red-velvet accents were de rigueur. The wine-by-the-glass selection is extensive, as is the bistro-style menu, which features everything from chicken Caesar salad and steak frites to escargots and the traditional intestine sausage andouillette. For a composed meal, opt for one of the reasonably priced three-course menus, which include dishes like foie gras, fillet of beef, and a selection of French cheeses for dessert."
Nice location, you can sit inside an elegant place inside the beautiful Stanislas square. A good dessert, but definitely not a good service. Customer’s attention doesn’t belong to this Café. The staff is not polite and they just fill the place to make money. The tea service is also not in line with the name and the elegance that is supposed to belong to such Café similar to other historical Café in Europe. Definitely a place I will not go back the next times I will be again in Nancy.

Grand Cafe FoyOur dinner was very good one plate fish and one plate chicken. The atmosphere would have been enjoyable except I think the waiter was having a bad day. The window pinkish colored chairs and table, the seats were uncomfortable, very low to sit in. We asked to move , the restaurant was empty at the time and the waiter rudely moved us to the next table . After a while another couple was seated at the same window table and asked to move. Again he was rude , grabbed one of the chairs and literally tossed it to the side , grabbed a regular chair and she used that. Her husband sat uncomfortable during dinner. All of it seemed unnecessary. We all have bad days, yet customer service is important. We did not return for another meal

The management of this restaurant is not very client friendly. We were directed to a table on the terrace next to the restaurant and then suddenly taken by a different manager to a table on the terrace in the square. He said it was due to the need for a table for seven people but that was a lie. Subsequently there the table we were at was filled with three people. The manager then told us it was due to the need to manage the waitstaff. This manager was very unfriendly and had no ability to care for the client.
The food was relatively good but the experience was not at all good due to the unfriendly nature of the management. The waiter did his best but I would not recommend going to this restaurant given their lack of consideration for the client.

The restaurant is really busy and you better reserve before going specially if you want to sit indoors
We were 8 7 of us took the Stanislas menu and one took the other menu
And she was not as lucky as us she ordered quiche loraine which was not good and the chicken was very ordinary
The rest of us really enjoyed the full course
Fillet was top shrimps were humongous and the octopus was very tender
The waiters were very busy to serve everyone but still smiling and hospitable
Always answering our quest about the menu
The indoor area is very crowded and noisy but the outdoor area is really refreshing that’s were we took our desert

Came here without prior reservation. The staff was very welcoming and courteous. They gave us a table at the window on the floor with a wonderful view over the public square.
The food was delicious, and the desserts mouth-watering.
All in all, I recommend this café.

Stopped in for a light lunch and a rest from walking around tourist sites. Pleased to be offered an well situated table for 1. Caesar salad (with chicken) was delicious and the accompanying glass of rose was crisp and dry (my preference). Wait staff friendly and attentive. Enjoyed people watching in Place Stanislaw.

Food is ok but service is horrible. Servers are rude and don't even pay attention to you.
Location is great.

My recommendation: afternoon espresso and ice cream
Grand Café Foy is a sprawling indoor/outdoor brasserie with a very relaxed atmosphere in the center of Nancy's Stanislas Square.
Come by in the afternoon and have a coffee and beer, the atmosphere is extremely relaxed and this is a great place to spend an afternoon because of how open everything is. Drinks are priced affordably especially taking into consideration the location of this cafe... 2€ for a Café...which is an espresso.
If you're looking for an american style coffee, order a Grand Café or Café Americain.
