Le Bouche A Oreille

This place was really great and felt like a true experience. Firstly very aesthetic, the sweet pig outside with a wry smile and the yellow frames, red and white checked table cloths and the interior inside. Obviously very pork based menu but they did notably have a few other dishes so enough there for others! We started with the pork assortment which was very nice but we didn’t enjoy the rounded layered items, which after figuring out what it was, Andouille de Guémené, which is very from this region! But the waitress was seemingly understanding of our dislike haha (google if you’re not sure, you’ll soon understand !) Then the main courses: 1. Pork steak with mashed potatoes and a cream peppercorn sauce. The steak was really well cooked. Not tough, not undercooked either. 2. The sausage with mashed potatoes and a pistachio creamy sauce Sausage was a lot more pink than I’m used to but the sauce was insane! I love the pistachio flavours. The creamy mash was such a great compliment to both dishes! Both were delicious! But highly recommend the pistachio sausage! We loved our visit here and enjoyed trying the new flavours!

Definitely 5 stars for the quality of food but 2ish for the service. The “famous pork side” main dish is one of the best pork I’ve had, with a huge serving and a very tender cut. Frog legs and fried cheese were quality starters, and the Williamine dessert was basically drowned in pear brandy. Only complaint is the fact that the staff didn’t have our reservation down on a Friday night, and instead of apologising the waiter grumbled about kicking us out once it got crowded. Not our fault the reservation wasn’t correctly recorded, but the staff acted like it was and let us know they weren’t happy to serve us the whole evening. Quite a downer when the waiter threatened to seat us all separately at the bar several times..

There many of these family run places with unique cuisine types in Nantes. To me the service and food is fantastique and recommend a visit here rather than one of the many more touristy places. They open after 7p for dinner. Truly enjoyed the whole meal experience with my colleagues here. They specialize in Lyonaisse cuisine. Bon appetit.

High quality food from small menu. Family-run with very friendly service, this restaurant has an authentic atmosphere. Very reasonably priced.

Nice staff. Tasty food. But menu only in French, they haven't in English.

Deserts were good. Starters (foi gra especially) good too. But mains are absolutely rubbish :/ only mustard helps. Cosy place overall so was ok

Very good service, excellent food and great choice of wines! I am very much missing this place. Their Crème brûlée is one of the best ever! Reasonably priced.

Staff is fairly rude and unfriendly at least towards tourists - while all French guests received a complimentary starter neither us (Austrian) nor the other German couple did. The food was good, though overpriced for the size of the portions.
