Restaurant La Table de Bacchus
A stone's throw from Place Stanislas, on rue des Maréchaux, La Table de Bacchus carries on a homemade regional cuisine: fine meats, fresh fish, offal and morel specialities, in the tradition of a house passing on its craft from one generation to the next.
A traditional table in central Nancy
La Table de Bacchus belongs to the line of houses that build Nancy's gourmet reputation. Set on rue des Maréchaux, only a few dozen metres from Place Stanislas, it carries on a craft handed down through the generations. People come for classic French cooking, generous and honest, served in a warm setting that puts you at ease. It is the kind of reassuring address for a dinner as a couple or with friends, when you want to taste the true flavour of the region rather than passing fads. Its immediate closeness to the centre makes it a convenient stop.
Meats, fish and fresh produce
The menu highlights fresh produce and homemade cooking, without showing off. On the meat side you find fine cuts such as entrecôte, picanha, beef fillet or bavette, prepared simply to let the produce speak. Fish is not left out, with salmon, cod and tuna depending on the catch, while offal lovers will enjoy the veal sweetbread and kidney, increasingly rare on menus. Together it makes a classic, reassuring repertoire, where everyone finds a dish to suit them, from the committed carnivore to the more measured gourmet.
The morel takes centre stage
If there is one signature to remember, it is the morel-based specialities. This delicate mushroom, much prized in eastern French cuisine, lends itself to the generous, creamy preparations that build the house's reputation. The bouchée à la reine, filled with veal sweetbread, morels, quenelles and a touch of foie gras, served with spaetzle, is a fine example: a dish that says it all about the link between Lorraine and its Alsatian neighbour. For a traveller who wants to taste a truly characterful regional speciality, it is a safe bet in Nancy.
Booking and making the most of it
La Table de Bacchus is at 15 rue des Maréchaux, right in the pedestrian Old Town, less than a hundred metres from Place Stanislas. The house has several terraces, including a large one that is very pleasant in fine weather. As with many good tables in the centre, booking is advised, especially at the weekend and in the evening. Morel specialities may be offered depending on the season: it is best to ask when booking. Card payment is common. An ideal address for a careful meal without leaving the historic centre.
