Guinguette De L’Éperon, Riverside restaurant in Ancenis, France.
Guinguette de L'Éperon is a riverside restaurant in Ancenis set within a garden space overlooking the Loire and its natural surroundings. The establishment serves French cuisine using regional ingredients in a casual setting right along the water's edge.
The restaurant carries on the guinguette tradition that developed along French riverbanks starting in the 19th century. These places began as simple, social gathering spots where people came to eat and spend time together outdoors.
The name references the nearby Éperon garden, where this spot sits as part of the riverside gathering place for locals. You can taste regional dishes while watching the daily rhythm of life along the Loire's banks.
The restaurant has outdoor seating with direct views of the water, so weather plays an important role in your visit. Bring a jacket or sweater, especially for evenings, as it can get cool along the riverbank.
During summer months, live music performances happen regularly on the terrace, turning meals into special events. These performances draw visitors who appreciate the blend of music, food, and riverside setting.
