Nantes' Belgian beer temple — when the wait doesn't kill the vibe
Les BerThoM is the spot in Nantes when you want serious Belgian beer without the fuss. The selection is genuinely impressive — dozens of bottles and a solid rotation on tap, from Duvel to Trappist ales you won't find at your average café. The Saturday Duvel at 6€ is a steal, and the staff are known for being warm and attentive when they're not drowning in orders. The vibe is laid-back and convivial, true to their motto "Bons Gens, Bon Temps" — good people, good times.
The catch? This place gets packed, especially on weekend evenings and afterwork Fridays. One reviewer reported waiting 50 minutes just to get a single beer, with 40 minutes spent trying to order. That's not an isolated complaint when the bar is slammed. If you're going on a busy night, go early or be prepared to wait.
That said, when it's flowing well, there's nowhere better in Nantes for a Belgian beer fix. The location on cours Olivier de Clisson puts you right in the heart of the Feydeau nightlife strip, so you can hop easily if it's too crowded. Go for the beer, stay for the atmosphere — just manage your expectations on wait times.
