Vindiou - Nancy

Amazing wine, nice apéro planchas and great service! An great plus is that they often have great wine from the locals, such as Oury Schreiber, which is practically impossible to find in the shops.

In search of a good wine bar in the old town, we trusted our guidebook Petit Futé Nancy 2016 and went to Rue Saint Michel 1 where there should have been a wine bar called ‘Pre-verre’. It turned it had been replaced by a new bar called ‘Vindiou’ in June 2016. Vindiou is clearly a place with a concept. It only serves natural and biodynamic wines and the interior, the furniture and the lighting have been designed by the group ‘Lili et Rami Architectures’. They used a lot of raw materials and constructed tables in steel and cement tiles, wine racks in welded wire lattice and bar stools in bamboo and steel, said to have been inspired by French architect and designer Jean Prouvé (1901-1984). We ordered a glass of wine at the design wooden counter and went to look for a seat in a small upstairs area where more metal was hanging from the ceiling by way of decoration. The room was rather too small for the industrial look to be efficient, it looks rather crammed although the furniture is airy. We also wonder whether Jean Prouvé’s furniture would have been so successful had it been as uncomfortable as Vindiou’s. The wine was very nice though! Although Vindiou is listed as a restaurant in Tripadvisor, it's basically a wine bar serving French ‘saucisson’, ham and pate with bread. The place is closed on Sunday and Monday.

Aaah! A nice place, we strongly recommend the violet!

Fantastic place and location, great interior design, super friendly barbeque, but above all the vineyard! Delicious; completely new fav apero place/ wine shop! Form now, when we're around, we'll go by for a pit stop.
