Delicious brasserie standards paired with some local specialties! Don’t forget to try a glass of their rhubarb wine, which is so good you won’t realize it’s made from rhubarb. We got the lamb and the andouillette for our mains, and both were wonderful and flavorful. They also do tableside flambé for their appetizer and desserts, so if you’re looking for a show while you eat, be sure to order those items. Beautiful ambiance, it’s classic Art Nouveau with lots of greenery inside, and the sound design makes even a fully seated restaurant feel intimate and quiet enough. The appetizers, two mains, two glasses of wine and a cocktail, finished with dessert was just over €100. For the quality of food and ambiance, this restaurant is good value for money.

A must when in Nancy! Classic brasserie in a beautiful room, stylish staff, good traditional brasserie menu. A really good experience - maybe a bit pricey but worth it. Had the 55€ menu; lovely escargots, the steak, and homemade the profiteroles. The crepes Suzette add a bit of show. Good wine list, opted for a local by the glass it was so-so.

We loved this place! What a beautiful setting, efficient staff and great food. We had to reserve a couple of weeks in advance to get a table though! Well worth it.

I had the petit dejeuner, it was okay, not too expensive. The bread was nice. As a vegan I swapped my viennoiserie with a friend for their bread. They didn't have alternative milk. The building is great though so worth it for seeing the inside :)

I recently had a great meal at Brasserie L'Excelsior, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was really tasty, the place looked old but cool, and the service was good. You should book ahead because it's always busy.
The food there is just really good. They serve classic French dishes, and everything I tried was delicious.
The restaurant looks old and fancy, kind of like stepping back in time. The decorations are nice and add to the atmosphere.
The people working there were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
One thing to remember is that the place is usually full, so it's a good idea to call and book a table ahead of time.
In short, Brasserie L'Excelsior is a great place to eat in Nancy. The food is yummy, the place looks cool, and the service is good. Just make sure to reserve a table because it's always busy.

Le 27 Gambetta
Cod simmered in olive oil, butternut purée and bacon powder, or young pigeon with creamy sweet potatoes and foamy mashed potatoes: the chef crafts delicate bistro fare to which he adds his own personal signature, two minutes from Place Stanislas.

Transparence - La Table de Patrick Fréchin
A short walk from Place Stanislas in a busy pedestrian street, transparency is more than just a name and you can actually see chef Patrick Fréchin working his magic in the theatrically visible kitchen. His enticing dishes showcase premium seasonal ingredients, such as loin of skrei cod, roasted in bay leaf oil with mead-flavoured yoghurt.

La Maison dans le Parc
Established in a handsome mansion, abutting the opera house and just behind one of France’s most beautiful squares, chef Charles Coulombeau and his wife Roxane (front of house) are a firm fixture of the culinary scene of Nancy. Having worked at Les Prés d’Eugénie, Lameloise and Gravetye Manor in Sussex, Charles deftly crafts modern cuisine, enhanced by creative flourishes and a nod to Japan (where he worked for a few months). Citrus fruits (such as Buddha’s hand and calamondin orange) and Asian flavours are perfectly paired with premium ingredients such as ikejime Vosges Arctic Char or plump Bresse chicken. Heroically wondrous (without forgetting the knockout terrace overlooking the park…).

La Toq'
The professional, highly experienced, virtuoso chef crafts high-flying dishes using top-notch ingredients: smoked to order slab of salmon with cauliflower and French caviar; Alsace poultry, Agria potatoes, roasted leeks and a velvety Albufera sauce… These flavoursome delicacies are served in a plush, fancy interior enhanced by century-old stone walls. Fine wine list.
Nancy - FRANCE

Le Capu
In an ideal location 300m from Place Stanislas, this restaurant boasts an elegant decor in a bold, contemporary vein, enhanced by baroque notes (rich hues and crushed velvet). The cuisine is suitably generous – for example, filet mignon of veal, with aubergine caviar, grilled courgettes and a tarragon sauce.
Nancy - FRANCE

Racine
Located just a stone's throw from Place Stanislas, the restaurant of the young chef Martin Debuiche (formerly Pierre Vigato's second-in-command, at Apicius) and his partner, butcher and restaurateur Alexandre Polmard, offers market cuisine through a short and appetising menu. The ingredients are good quality, the recipes are well put together. Tasty.
Nancy - FRANCE

Cadet
Between the Villa Majorelle and the Musée de l'École de Nancy, this restaurant is housed in a hundred-year-old former hairdressing salon. In a Scandinavian-style interior, brightened up by crates of vegetables, a few trendy cookery books and a vintage Faema coffee machine behind the counter, chef Theo Mareschal (previously encountered at La Maison dans le Parc in Nancy and Kontrast in Oslo) sticks to the brief and cooks up appealing contemporary cuisine that's simple and accessible, a case in point being the veal, mushrooms and baby potatoes or the surprising dessert of vanilla ice cream with squid ink, as black as a painting by Pierre Soulages!
Nancy - FRANCE

Patern
This magnificently located eatery is only a 5-minute walk from Stanislas Square! The youthful owner-chef, Martin Debuiche, former deputy of Jean-Pierre Vigato of the Apicius in Paris, has teamed up with a butcher-breeder, Alexandre Polmard. In a smart, modern interior, he crafts surprise menus based on flawlessly sourced fine ingredients: fish from Brittany, Vosges pigeon, dairy produce from Meurthe-et-Moselle, saffron from Lorraine, etc. Examples include Brittany John Dory, savory, fennel and girolles, or pigeon, foie gras, lardo di Colonnata and spinach.
