la Tonnelle sur Nantes

14/03/2026: Let's be clear, this bistro is efficient! The food is good and the service is acceptable, but it lacks friendliness and warmth. The food is good and varied, and the portions are generous! The desserts are also good, but the wine is expensive and disappointing. The prices are a bit high... €2.80 for a coffee to finish the meal is excessive. It's a shame, because it might have motivated me to leave a tip. Finally, a note on the decor. A huge effort has been made for this bistro-cum-antique shop, but a few less stuffed animals and less clutter in the upstairs restrooms would make the place more welcoming.

12/03/2026: The decor is indeed over-the-top and kitschy, the service was relatively good, and the food was decent despite the slightly high price. The background music is nice when you arrive at the beginning of service. After that, the tables are too close together, and it gets crowded... you find yourself in an infernal din... and it was only Wednesday evening! You can easily follow your neighbors' conversations. Definitely not the place for a romantic evening.
