La Cigale

A true Nantes institution, La Cigale has been turning heads since 1895 with its flamboyant Art Nouveau interiors—gilded mouldings, painted ceramics, and mirrored walls that feel straight out of a Belle Époque dream. Located on Place Graslin, right across from the Théâtre Graslin, it’s been a favourite haunt of artists and locals alike, including surrealists like Jacques Prévert and André Breton. The brasserie was even featured in Jacques Demy’s 1961 film Lola. Today, La Cigale still serves up classic French fare—seafood platters, oysters, and decadent desserts—in a setting that’s as much about the atmosphere as the food.
