Must order: Eggs Benedict off the year-round brunch card
Tip: It opens at 08:00 on weekdays for people working nearby, so a weekday brunch here is far calmer than the weekend one.
Address: 4 Rue de Jemmapes, 44000 Nantes
GLAZ on Rue Cacault in Nantes gives its Sunday over to a €25 brunch, brioche perdue and tartines from a café that bakes everything in house.
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.
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.
