La Cigale brasserie wine bar ★ 4.6
La Cigale is the historic 1895 Belle Epoque brasserie of Nantes, listed as a French national monument. Its bar section pours an excellent Muscadet selection alongside a wider Loire and Atlantic-coast wine list. The painted-ceiling interior is a textbook Belle Epoque setting.
The list: Belle Epoque brasserie with a sommelier-curated Loire list of 180 bottles and 14 by-the-glass; wide regional range
Tip: La Cigale fills early; the bar section accepts walk-ins without reservation. Pair with the brasserie oyster plate for the classic Nantes pairing.
