The L’Ecluse Pizzeria of Saint Nicolas de Redon !

Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

This is one of those off the beaten path towns this road warrior passes by and once in a while stop in, I had lunch in town, and need to provide a separate post for it ; do see my other post on the church, Therefore, here is my take on the L’Ecluse pizzeria of Saint Nicolas de Redon !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The name of the town comes from Saint Nicolas de Rotono at the time of the dismemberment of the parish of Avessac. Among the sixteen old brotherhoods, four formed the town of Saint-Nicolas-de-Redon, During the French revolution, Saint-Nicolas-de-Redon was renamed “Union-sur-Vilaine”, of course..It is located in the Loire Atlantique dept 44 of the Pays de la Loire region today , part of old Bretagne.

We were on our road warrior trip in the area, and of course, we had our usual lunch away from home, We walked to eat at L’Ecluse pizzeria resto at the limits of the departments 35 (Ille et Vilaine) and 44 (Loire Atlantique) ,Coming from Redon (see posts), after crossing the Saint-Nicolas-de-Redon bridge stop immediately in the parking lot located on your right, the restaurant l’Ecluse is just opposite ,on the road D164 direction La Gacilly (see posts). The place was great, we were the first one in, all staff waiting for us , and service was prompt and nice. We had our aperitifs or apéros with porto red, piña colada, whisky cola , l’ecluse house special of fruits no alcohol and cocktail alexis with rosé wine and lemon. Then we went with the tagliatelles with goat cheeses for two, calzone of ham and cheese, and pizzas of Indienne, Royale (beef for me), we had a bottle of a Lyonnaise house rosé wine ,and then desserts were bounty coconut ice cream and choco syrup, banana split, peach melba, pears belle helene, and caraibe coffee with vodka. We left paying at the counter for 28 euros per person. A bit high been in an off area away from the main tourist spots. However, the place is sparkling clean very nice decoration with riverware and old Paris posters, and the place was pack with local people by the time we finish.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
