Café du Passage — Restaurant in Nantes

Lovely place, clean and friendly. Not sure about the service, though (the waitress). Either I caught her on a bad day or she's just rude. Took her ages to serve my drink, serving others before me even though I'd ordered first. I'm not familiar with French rules, but apparently I had exceeded my drinks limit (2 pints and 2 vodkas!).

I’m a chemist, and the others genetics specialist , mathematician, pharmacist,, civil...
