Le Crabe Marteau sur Nantes

I love this restaurant - where the seafood arrives fresh daily, direct from Brest. Great food and the atmosphere is rather different: you order crab and you're handed a wooden hammier, tied into a bib and encouraged to get properly stuck into Breton crab, langoustines or prawns and oysters. I had the half crab with 6 oysters - beautiful. Bread is absolutely delicious and it all comes with a range of homemade mayonnaises also with Tabasco and herbs - plus served with a pot of potatoes, kept warm while you get tuck in. Problem hammering your crab? The staff are fun and help you if bashing isn't quite your thing but I encourage you to give it a go - so do they as they show you how it's done. Don't come if you're too sensitive to hammer bashing noises, although even still, it's easy to talk. Great value for money.

Great place and service! Very friendly and nice staff! Thanks for the atmosphere and tasty food! Highly recommend

Very nice staff and amazing experience

Great fresh sea food, and excellent service

I’ve been here several times and always enjoyed the great food and good atmosphere. Last time I was there for lunch. Usually I enjoy their oysters and crabs. This time I had fish soup and scallops, both were excellent. Friendly service like always

Good place, filled with locals. No english menu but the staff can easily recommend you some dishes. I highly recommend the crab. Oysters are pretty meh - id advise you to skip and try them elsewhere.
