A neighborhood gem with heart and flavor
À boire & à manger is exactly the kind of unassuming neighborhood bistro that makes you fall in love with a city all over again. Tucked away near the Mairie de Chantenay, it’s the sort of place where you’ll find regulars chatting with the staff over plates of inventive, seasonal dishes. The menu changes with the seasons, so you’re always trying something fresh—whether it’s a locally sourced fish special or a hearty vegetable dish that proves you don’t need meat to be satisfied.
The wine list is a highlight, especially if you’re into Loire wines—they’ve got a solid selection that pairs beautifully with the food. Service is friendly and unhurried, the kind of place where you can linger over a second glass without feeling rushed. It’s not flashy, but it’s genuine, and that’s exactly what makes it worth seeking out.
Pro tip: Make a reservation if you’re coming on a weekend, especially for dinner. This place fills up fast, and for good reason.
