Les Nouveaux Abattoirs
Les Nouveaux Abattoirs is a genuine Nancy institution for meat lovers. Set on the Rives de Meurthe side, near the Kinepolis cinema and the L'Autre Canal venue, the house has long championed generous cooking built on meat and offal. Tartare prepared at the table, rib of beef, veal sweetbreads or calf's head: you come here to eat honestly, in an authentic brasserie atmosphere. An address with character for a memorable dinner in Nancy.
The realm of meat and offal
The menu fully owns its speciality: meat in every form, including the offal few tables still dare to serve. The beef tartare, prepared and seasoned at the table before your eyes, is a must, alongside the rib of beef, veal sweetbreads, calf's head or fillet with morels. There are also salads, charcuterie, snails and a few fish dishes for variety. It's honest, generous cooking, cut out for real appetites and lovers of quality meat.
The soul of an authentic brasserie
The place has kept the spirit of a real brasserie of old. Wood panelling, checked tablecloths, a lively room and an easy-going mood: the decor tells a certain idea of French conviviality, without chasing trends. The service, attentive and full of good advice, adds to the warm atmosphere many diners highlight. It's a comfortable spot for a meal with friends or family, in a room where the hum of conversation is part of the charm. An authentic interlude far from standardised chains.
An address near the Rives de Meurthe
Set on the Rives de Meurthe side, the brasserie is easy to combine with an outing to the nearby Kinepolis cinema or a concert at L'Autre Canal. It's a district a little away from the historic centre, but accessible and handy if your accommodation is towards the east of the city. Parking is easier here than in the very centre, a plus for travellers by car. After a day of sightseeing, you'll find a hearty, filling dinner, ideal before or after a cultural evening in the area.
Our tip for your stay
Come with a good appetite: portions are generous and the house doesn't do things by halves. If you've never tried offal, it's the ideal spot to attempt the sweetbreads or calf's head, prepared by the book. Book ahead if you can, especially on weekend evenings or when a concert is on at L'Autre Canal, as the room is popular. And let yourself be tempted by the tartare prepared at the table: the little show is as worthwhile as the taste.
