La Souris d'Agneau - Nantes

This is a beaitiful little restaurant in the heart of Nantes, particularly good for a long lunch.

Good atmosphere, good music. A quite place very nice. The decoration is vintage. I enjoy very much the food. It's speciality is el couscous d'agneau.

The restaurant has a lovely decor and we received a warm welcome. Whilst there were smoked salmon and various salads available for starters, we went straight for the slow cooked lamb (restaurant name translated is literally "mouse of lamb" which in the UK we'd refer to as calf or lower leg). This was served in a delicious rich sauce which included onions, garlic and cumin; it also came with roasted potatoes which were topped up on request. The host was very friendly and spoke very good English, having worked in a number of top UK restaurants. Very good value, good choice of wines. Highly recommended.

The food was excelent, but the service and the ambience (including decoration and music) was amazing.

This restaurant is a safe choice. Food is great and staff is ok. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. But there is room for improvement. The cooking of the souris d'agneau was more than perfect, but the piece of meat was covered in a dark unattractive not really tasty substance. Presentation is important too! Asking for salt resulted in delivery of a plate with salad (!). My French is certainly not perfect, but "sell and salad" are quite different.....After delivery of the bill, nobody showed up to settle the payment. The chef tried to compensate that by offering a drink, but the best performance is to have a strong(er) focus on the customer!
