🍵 La Porcelaine: Where East Meets West in Perfect Harmony 🏮✨

During my last summer in Southern France before catching the ferry back to the UK from Nantes, I stumbled upon this hidden gem —a restaurant that *actually* understood Chinese cuisine (no sweet-and-sour impostors here!). The Food : Simple but authentic dishes like Taiwanese braised pork rice and light fried snacks—all with a *refreshing twist*. The flavors? Nostalgically real . 🍚🥢 The Aesthetic : A chinoiserie dream ! Think Ming vases meets powder-blue European elegance —china cabinets displayed like art, tableware curated with museum-level care. 🏺💙 The Story : Founded by someone raised in a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and culinary family: *"Chinese culture rooted deep in me... At 30, homesickness hit hard. So I brought real Chinese flavors to France."* 🌏✈️ Now : Transformed into a teahouse (still selling gorgeous ceramics!), with an attached gallery. The seaside location makes for perfect post-tea strolls before your ferry. 🚢🌊 #EastMeetsWest #NantesHiddenGem #ChineseInFrance
