L'Absence Nantes sur Nantes

01/02/2026: Passing through the lovely city of Nantes for a show, we were looking for somewhere to eat afterward. We quickly realized we were asking for hospitality at a very late hour, and after a few refusals (sometimes incredulous, "10 pm? You can't be serious!"), we were welcomed at "Chez Louisette," where we were served a hearty mixed platter. The main room was booked for a birthday party, and we enjoyed the band's playlist in our corner near the bar. A wonderful, convivial time. The Saint-Chinian wine was perfect. Thank you to the team!

13/01/2026: At Louisette's, it's a bit like having a beloved cat. You walk through the door and you immediately feel at home. It's not over the top. It's there, relaxed and welcoming. The music is well-chosen, accompanying you without being intrusive. You happily linger. A pint is €3.80. Really not bad. It's the kind of detail that makes you settle in and order a second one without hesitation. There's plenty to eat. I tried the fries. For someone from the north, they could be improved, of course. But they're still decent. Honest. Like everything else. The retro decor adds to the charm. A bit like that favorite old armchair, not brand new, but comforting. A friendly, unpretentious bar where you naturally return. Because you feel good there. Simply.
