« A very pleasant place, good entertainment and concerts, and a great galette-saucisse (sausage galette). »

« A community-run open-air café located by the lake. Varied musical program. Local products. Committed to eco-responsible practices. Ideal for enjoying a drink away from the city in a pleasant, open setting. Picnic tables in the park. Food available on site. This was something the area needed. In short, a must-visit. Don't hesitate to stop by. We came from nearby Saint Léger Les Vignes. Have a great summer everyone. Take care. »

« A charming outdoor café with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The setting is truly delightful, perfect for enjoying a pleasant time outdoors. The staff is welcoming, the food is simple yet delicious, and the live music adds a very welcome festive touch. It's simply a place where you feel good. An address to remember and recommend! »

« A perfect outdoor café! A lovely setting by the pond, a relaxed and festive atmosphere, great music, and a wide selection at the bar: everything is there for a wonderful time. The welcome is warm, and you immediately feel at home. It's the kind of place that brings the town to life and fosters community. Well done on this fantastic initiative; we can't wait for the next events! »

« Fantastic open-air café! A real lively spot in Machecoul at last! Plus, the drinks and food are top-notch! Fun concerts and activities! A great time for families and pet-friendly! Léon beers are delicious, and the two brothers can talk about their brewing work with passion! In short, I highly recommend this open-air café! »
