About the Business

A family owned brasserie in a French provincial town...Nottingham! Since 1994, this delicious Gallic haven, presided by charismatic Corsican Stephane Luiggi, has created a tiny piece of France in the centre of Nottingham. Today it's a thriving, bustling restaurant on two floors, with a ground floor dining area for up to 40 customers boasting a unique Deli Corner, offering farmhouse unpasteurised cheese, organic wines from small growers, French grocery essentials, as well as some rare brocante finds. A large red-bricked basement room, for up to 44 diners, is reminiscent of Toulousain restaurants, La Ville Rose, where Stephane met his Nottingham-born wife Louise.

Established in 1994.

Business Owner

Stéphane F. (Business Owner)

I am a man of two cultures, having spent the first 25 years of my life in France and the last 25 in England. My comprehension of both is rare (my knowledge of Cricket is unique for a Frenchman). After a Business degree in Toulouse I married Nottingham girl Louise. We moved to England thanks to French conscription (I had the option to carry out a civilian National Service abroad instead of a military service in France). After a few years in  Sales & Marketing we decided to live our passion for France and eating by opening French Living in 1994.
