Must order: Brioche perdue, in whichever version is on that week
Tip: The formula covers drinks, a viennoiserie, tartines, an egg and a plat; Thursday to Saturday it reverts to a straight café.
Address: 10 Rue Cacault, 44000 Nantes
Mimosa on Rue Fénelon in Nantes cooks homemade brunch plates from seasonal, local produce every day of the week, pancakes and salmon leading.
Order: Pancakes, or the salmon plate off the seasonal card
Tip: Weekends run three hours longer than weekdays, to 18:00, which makes it one of the few late-afternoon brunch rooms in the centre.
Le Zed République on the Île de Nantes runs a €25 Sunday brunch, from viennoiseries and jam to charcuterie and mini-burgers, bread served à volonté.
Order: The mini-burgers, the house speciality carried over into brunch
Tip: The sitting is a tight two and a half hours from 11:30, so arrive at the start rather than drifting in at midday.
O Deck brunches on a barge moored at Quai Fernand Crouan in Nantes, a Sunday buffet eaten behind glass with the Loire running past the window.
Order: Whatever is on the seasonal buffet, including the vegan desserts
Tip: Ask for a table on the river side when booking; the glazed wall is the whole point of eating here rather than on shore.
Handy runs an all-day brunch card on Rue Voltaire in Nantes, eggs, pancakes and roasted vegetables with matcha from Anatae poured alongside.
Order: Eggs and pancakes, with the Anatae matcha alongside
Tip: The kitchen shuts Monday and Tuesday, so a Nantes weekend is the reliable window; Saturday and Sunday close an hour earlier than midweek.
Billie's is the Franco-British coffee shop on Quai François Mitterrand in Nantes, weekend brunch of English breakfast and sticky toffee pudding.
Order: Sticky toffee pudding, or the millionaire shortbread
Tip: Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 10:00; portions are deliberately sized to cut waste, so order the pudding separately.
Little Britain Café on Boulevard Auguste Peneau in Nantes serves a Sunday British brunch at €23, with unlimited coffee and a trio of puddings.
Order: The savoury plate of soft-boiled eggs, spinach on brioche and house beans
Tip: Service starts at 11:30 on Sunday and the tea comes from Un grain, Une Feuille; the room is small, so book several days out.
