Vaudémont - Nancy

Stopped for an afternoon drink in this quirky restaurant/bar. Inside it is worth a look at the ornaments, etc. Cocktails are popular. We had the different teas which were very nice. Staff friendly. M

This was a great find very close to Place Stanislas with just lovely ambience and quick service. It was very busy but didn't seem to affect the service. I ordered quiche and salad and my husband had a burger. Both meals were very good and along with a couple of beer the price was 30 Euros - very reasonable for France. We were seated outside next to the cafe on an unexpectably hot 30 degree day in September so it was pretty warm, whereas the outdoor seating on the opposite side of the little road looked much cooler.

This place has an ideal location. Candlelight dinner amidst a buzzing square. Service was friendly but a little slow (busy place). However, the food was disappointing. An overcooked steak and a bland crab salad. I wonder if they even have a professional chef. Go there for the ambience if you don't mind mediocre food.

Le Vaudemont offers nice outside seating in the shade. It's location is just a couple of hundred meters from the place Stanislas. My gazpacho was very nice and so was the Saint Pierre fish. My wife was happy with her foie gras pâté and goat cheese salad.

Kitchen was behind. All tables waited at least an hour after placing order. We nearly ate the table we were so hungry. Waiter forgot to bring our wine too until we had to remind him. Our dessert was comped so it made up for it but doubt we would go back.
