La Crêperie du Bouffay ★ 3.9

CrêperieBouffayMon-Fri 11:30-14:30 and 18:30-22:30; Sat 11:30-23:00; Sun 11:30-22:00

One of the older galette houses on the pedestrian lanes of Bouffay, generous plates of buckwheat with artisan ciders and a small street terrace.

Signature: Buckwheat galettes, Sweet crêpes, Artisan cider

Tip: It serves seven days a week, which in this quarter is rarer than it sounds; Sunday evening is the calmest sitting.

Le Milan & le Rossignol ★ 4.2

Crêperie€€GraslinMon 12:00-14:00; Tue-Fri 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-22:00; Sat 12:00-22:00; closed Sun

Voted fourth best crêperie in Nantes by Big City readers in 2025, a small Grétry room doing classic galettes plus odder seasonal combinations.

Signature: Seasonal buckwheat galettes, House sweet crêpes

Tip: Saturday runs straight through from noon to ten, which makes it the easy fallback when the Bouffay crêperies are queueing.

Chez Mamie Nénette ★ 4.1

Crêperie€€BouffayMon 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-22:00; Thu-Fri 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-22:00; Sat-Sun 12:00-14:30 and 19:00-22:00; closed Tue-Wed

Sixth in the 2025 Big City Nantes crêperie vote, Mamie Nénette drops the lace-curtain look and pushes galette fillings well past ham and egg.

Signature: Creative buckwheat galettes, Sweet crêpes

Tip: It closes Tuesday and Wednesday, so plan around that; the Rue de la Juiverie block holds four crêperies within sixty metres.

La Cantine du Curé ★ 3.8

CrêperieBouffayDaily 11:00-23:00

Named by Nantais voters among their favourite crêperies, this Sainte-Croix corner keeps the griddle on from eleven in the morning to eleven at night.

Signature: Buckwheat galettes, Sweet crêpes, Bolée of cider

Tip: Continuous service every day of the week makes it the reliable late galette in the old town when kitchens elsewhere have shut.

La Gavotte ★ 4.0

CrêperieGraslinTue-Sat 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-21:00; closed Sun-Mon

A small Rue Voltaire crêperie a short walk from Place Graslin, named by Nantais voters among the city favourites and pricing most plates under €10.

Signature: Buckwheat galettes, Sweet crêpes

Tip: Service windows are short and it shuts at nine, so treat it as an early dinner rather than a late one.

Le Bouchon ★ 4.2

French bistro€€BouffayTue-Thu 12:00-14:00 and 19:45-22:00; Fri 12:00-14:00 and 19:45-22:30; Sat 19:45-22:30; closed Sun-Mon

Founded in 1986 in the historic centre of Nantes, Le Bouchon spreads several dining moods around a walled inner garden screened from the street.

Signature: Seasonal bistro plates

Tip: There is no Saturday lunch service; ask for a table in the courtyard garden rather than the front room when the weather holds.
