We were happy to see a number a good reviews on Yelp and an interesting menu and decided to have dinner here. Our waiter was very friendly but did not speak much English and we speak French rather badly, but we were all able to manage just fine. I ordered the Charcuterie platter for my dinner, which was delicious. Dining companions had a chicken dish and the fish du jour. Everyone was happy with choices. Good food. Good service. I would certainly come back.

I took my family here last year during my semester abroad (I'm American) in Nantes. I was told by…read moreone of my French friends not to miss this place. The building itself is remarkable because the famous writer Jules Verne was born here. The ambiance is classy, and the place was pretty empty when we went, which I was surprised by. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating of my father's dietary restrictions (no dairy, meat, gluten etc...). Normally, dining out with such food restrictions in France is a nightmare. At several other restaurants we went to in France, the staff acted offended when asked to prepare a meal for my father, but not here! They made him a nice salad and vegetable dish, which he enjoyed. My mom, sister, and I were able to sample some classic French dishes here. Our meal was fantastic. I tried frog's legs (les cuisses de grenouilles provençales) and escargots for the first time. Both dishes were excellent. The frog's legs were lightly fried--perfectly crispy, and topped with seasoned chopped tomatoes. The escargots were well cooked, served with oyster mushrooms (pleurottes) and a delicious sauce. We enjoyed pork cheek (la cocotte de joues de porc au sirop d'érable) and two fish dishes for our main course. The wine we had (Domaine Martin Côtes du Rhône Villages, Plan de Dieu, 2013) was also excellent. All-in-all, this was a wonderful, authentic French meal. For anyone seeking a nice dining experience that's not too expensive in Nantes, definitely come to Le Nouveau Monde!

We mixed our order to sample all that we could. The entrees were perfect. Smoked octopus with a subtle deco if beetroot and coulis and a raviolis of Fois gras and cauliflower. Great marriages. We finished with pigeon that was close to be best we have had, and the langoustines. Both had a great fusion with vegetables and little touches like crunchy buckwheat crumbles on the spring onions with the pigeons. We sampled the wine menu (good) and took the chocolate and the apricot desserts (perfect). This is an address to come back to, in a city we have never explored but will enjoy our return to.
