La Cantine du Voyage - Nantes

We discovered this interesting place during a long walk round the old dockyards. We were intrigued by the simplicity of the menu, ecological style and the general atmosphere, Clearly if you don't fancy the farmhouse chicken that is all that is on offer you shouldn't eat there! It was preceded by a nicely dressed salad of incredibly fresh veg and herbs. There was some suggestion that portions varied in size, but we were very happy with the quantity and succulent quality. New potatoes in rissole style accompanied it, and with a pichet of decent simple wine this made a good lunch. Desserts are available for a good extra price, but we didn't need them! The service is casual but arriving early we had no complaints, and the bench seating is friendly! What's not to like?

Nice experience: first of all, you have a set up menu at 10 euros per person, including a salad only with ingredients coming from their own garden; a piece of chicken with French fries and a drink of your choice. Additional 3.50 euros for a dessert and cheap coffee at 1.50 euros. You get seated at a specific place. The idea is that you will socialize with your neighbors but unfortunately, apart of a bonjour , the conversation seems to stop there at all tables... service was quite fast. Some baby high chairs are available. Then you can play at baby-foot (plan a 1 euro coin) or pétanque. Or buy a book at the little bookshop (French only) with nice choices. Long chairs available outside. Great place to hang out and nice meal and great value !

We came across this when walking around the dock yard simple but good value at €11 for salad starter and chicken and potatoes main and 1/4 carafe of Rosie wine big wooden tables and benches

When we went, the menu was displayed at an attractive price, which made us come. Eventually the dessert was over. We were several protesters. And in addition the manager has despised us even insulted. It goes ... Attention, read the menu before coming to the cashier (because you pay before eating).
