Billie's is the Franco-British coffee shop on Quai François Mitterrand in Nantes, weekend brunch of English breakfast and sticky toffee pudding.

Hours: Wed-Fri 09:00-15:00; Sat-Sun 10:30-15:00; closed Mon-Tue
Brunch Brunch on Rue la Tour d'Auvergne in Nantes builds its whole week around one €25 formula: two drinks, a plat, a pastry and a house dessert.
Tip: Weekdays open at 09:00 and are much easier to get into than the 10:30 weekend sittings, which book out days ahead.
Melbourne Coffee ★ 4.2
Champ-de-Mars · 4 Rue de Jemmapes, 44000 Nantes
Hours: Mon-Fri 08:00-15:00; Sat-Sun 10:00-14:00
Melbourne Coffee near the Cité des Congrès in Nantes keeps an Australian brunch card on all year, eggs Benedict and toasts from 10:00 to 14:30.
Tip: It opens at 08:00 on weekdays for people working nearby, so a weekday brunch here is far calmer than the weekend one.
GLAZ ★ 4.2

Hours: Thu-Sat 08:30-18:00; Sun 10:00-15:00
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.
Tip: The formula covers drinks, a viennoiserie, tartines, an egg and a plat; Thursday to Saturday it reverts to a straight café.
Mimosa ★ 4.1
Decré · 2 bis Rue Fénelon, 44000 Nantes
Hours: Mon-Fri 09:00-15:00; Sat-Sun 09:00-18:00
Mimosa on Rue Fénelon in Nantes cooks homemade brunch plates from seasonal, local produce every day of the week, pancakes and salmon leading.
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 ★ 4.1
Île de Nantes · 23 Boulevard de la Prairie au Duc, 44200 Nantes
Hours: Sun 11:30-14:00 for brunch; lunch and dinner service the rest of the week
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.
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 ★ 4.0
Île de Nantes · 30 Quai Fernand Crouan, 44200 Nantes
Hours: Sun 11:30-15:00 for brunch; lunch and dinner service the rest of the week
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.
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.
