Le Café des Plantes

fabulous location at the entrance to the botanical gardens and large outside seating areas, opted for omelette and frites which was mediocre (then spotted a delicious huge seafood salad) the waiter was very engaging, joyful and. fast service, good spot -

Lovely spot to work indoors or outdoors, public wifi available that’s decent for basic internet tasks.

Service is 10/10, food is delicious, you really get great value here.

Side note: tarte citron recomposée is amazing, you won’t be disappointed!

The cuisine at this place is diner-style, but with a French twist. Very, very tasty! The staff is very friendly, professional and fast.

Great place for food and drink handy location, friendly and attentive staff with good English (my French is rubbish).

Great food, friendly service :)!

Great omelette and ☕

Just stopped for a coffee between trains... Super crowded with people who were between trains too. One waiter running around keeping smiley and good humoured and polite in spite of the stress. 2.40 for a generous and delicious cafe au lait en salle. Clean.

Waiting for our train we had some good coffee here. Service was friendly and super quick. Kids welcome.

Excellent! I had the smoked salmon bruschetta and it was delicious. My friends had the complete omlette and the grilled vegetables and they both thoroughly enjoyed them. Nice atmosphere and very helpful staff.

Casual restaurant very handy (right across the train station (Gare de Nantes Nord). Really nice fellows, served with diligence and great sense of humour. Very good food (the crumble is amazing), generous portions and fair prices. It just grows on you, and you go back for more 😊

I was really surprise of such as simple place who looks like a regular cafe but is a really good place to be to eat and drink.
Food is great, prices are cheap, service is fast and you are in THE french ambiance of real cafe/bistro!
They have also excellent wine for cheap.

I’ve only been for coffee, wine and beers. I love thé location- across the street from the train station and next to the park. Always friendly and speedy.

Very close to the tram and just yards from the Nantes railway station. Excellent for quick snack between journeys or three course meal with a beer or wine. Great coffee to. Inside or on the large terrace. I often have the set price breakfast fruit juice, croissant or pain au chocolate, bread and conserve, and coffee.

Ideal restaurant for a quick and filling meal before catching a train.
Welcoming staff and reasonable prices.
Good variety of the menu.

Fantastic place extremely near the train station, brillant service i strongly recommend this place ... Much better than the coffee or pub place at the train station

Relax, good food, and right next to beautiful Jardin des Plantes. Enjoy a 'zen' walk in that gardens with some very rare & unique plants and trees.
