Brasserie Excelsior
Brasserie L'Excelsior
An Art Nouveau brasserie opened in 1911 and listed as a historic monument, famous for its seafood towers and seafood choucroute.
Operating since 1911 opposite Nancy railway station, this brasserie was listed as a French historic monument in 1976. It is a leading example of the School of Nancy Art Nouveau style: Majorelle designed the furniture, Gruber made the stained glass, and the main hall is lavish, with three Art Deco private rooms at the back. The menu centers on oysters, lobster and seafood towers, and also includes seafood choucroute, Strasbourg-style sauerkraut, and the Lorraine dessert "Tout-Nancy". It is open until late every day, so it works for visits at any time of day, but book ahead for weekend dinners.
