Le Grémillon
In Saint-Max, at the gates of Nancy, Le Grémillon is a family-run spot where you enjoy traditional French cuisine, slow-cooked and generous.
A family address in Saint-Max
Le Grémillon set up its tables at 102 avenue Carnot in Saint-Max, a town bordering Nancy to the east. For more than eight years the house has kept a simple, warm atmosphere where people come for lunch or dinner with friends and family alike. Here you are away from the tourist bustle of the centre, in an easy-to-reach residential area with parking nearby. It is the kind of unfussy place where you quickly feel at ease, appreciated as much by regulars from the neighbourhood as by visitors keen to step off the beaten track for a meal.
Slow-cooked French cuisine
Here the focus is on traditional, generous French cuisine. The house showcases its rich, long-simmered dishes, prepared by the chef in keeping with the recipes that built the reputation of the region's tables. You find the spirit of home cooking, patient braising and hearty plates designed to satisfy. Far from passing trends, the menu embraces honest, comforting indulgence, the kind that recalls a Sunday family meal. For a traveller, it is a good way to taste sincere French cooking rather than a standardised city-centre menu.
Daily specials, à la carte and set menus
Le Grémillon mixes its offers to suit every moment. At lunch, changing daily specials often give a choice of starters, mains and desserts at a price designed for the midweek meal. Alongside, an à la carte selection and fixed menus leave you free to put together a light lunch or a fuller dinner. This flexibility suits travellers well: you can stop quickly at lunch between two visits, or take your time in the evening. As dishes and prices change with the season, it is best to check the day's menu on site or by phone.
Getting there from Nancy during your stay
Saint-Max adjoins Nancy to the east: from the centre you reach avenue Carnot in a few minutes by car, bus or bike along the Meurthe. Parking nearby makes the visit easy for those staying a little away from the city core. It is a nice outing for a traveller who wants to eat like a local, in an authentic neighbourhood, without the tourist-centre price tag. Remember to book at weekends and to check the opening days, as the house closes for some services. Since hours can change, a call before setting off avoids any disappointment.
