​​🇫🇷 Nantes | La Taverne Royale: A Classic French Feast! 🍖🔥​​

Craving authentic French flavors? ​​La Taverne Royale​​, a time-honored bistro in Nantes, delivers hearty dishes—but choose wisely! Here’s our full review: ​​🍽️ What We Tried​​ ​​1️⃣ Ribs (Entrecôtes) 🥩​​ ​​Order Tip​​: Ask for “bien cuit” (well-done)—ours came medium-rare 🩸 (send it back if needed!). ​​Pairing​​: Bordeaux red 🍷 (cuts through richness). ​​2️⃣ Mystery Offal Soup 🍲​​ ​​Likely​​: Ris de Veau (sweetbreads) or Tripes (tripe)—silky texture + mild organ notes . ​​Verdict​​: Adventurous eaters only! (Not for the faint-hearted ). ​​3️⃣ Lamb (Agneau) 🐑​​ ​​Warning​​: Strong gamey taste—French-style (no heavy spices 🌿). ​​Save It​​: Drown in red wine or tangy sauce (or skip if you’re sensitive). ​​🍷 Drink Pairings​​ ​​Red​​: Bordeaux/Merlot for ribs/lamb (€8/glass). ​​White​​: Sancerre for seafood/soups (€9/glass). ​​💡 Pro Tips​​ ​​Avoid If​​: You hate rare meat or offal (stick to French onion soup 🧅). ​​Book Ahead​​: Weekends get packed 📞. ​​Budget​​: €40-60pp (splurge for the vibe 💸). ​​#NantesEats #FrenchBistro​
