« We had a great time at the open-air café. Special mention goes to the food selection, which featured very high-quality products. The platter was more than generous, with delicious artisanal items. Thank you and best of luck! »

« 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. »

« 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! »
