🎂 The Worst Weather Birthday at This Michelin-Starred Fish Spot 🌧️🍽

Le Bouchon (on the Bib Gourmand list since 1986) masters seasonal, local ingredients with a creative twist. Tucked in Nantes' old town, its half-timbered facade glowed under rainy night lights—cozy burgundy curtains and warm lighting made it feel like a scene from a French film. 🏮💫 ### ✨ The Vibe - Interior : Floral wallpaper, antique bookshelves, and green vintage lamps on each table (only 6 tables total—*intimate but spacious*). - Menu : Handwritten daily specials + à la carte. We chose the 3-course set . ### 🍴 The Food Starter 1 : *Seared foie gras*—silky with Cognac notes, paired with spiced bread, fig jam, and tomato gelée. Texture heaven! 🦢🍷🍞 Starter 2 : *Citrus-cured salmon* with dill panna cotta (savory dessert-style—*genius!*). 🍣🌿 Main : *Confit lamb leg* (usually duck, but this was fall-off-the-bone magic ) with roasted squash and mushrooms. Rustic, hearty, *autumn on a plate*. 🍖🎃 ### 💔 The Catch My birthday storm raged outside... but inside? Pure comfort food bliss . #CozyMichelin #NantesEats #FrenchBistro
