Restaurant du chateau du Roi Rene a ANGERS

The principle is a succession of verrines from entry to dessert. It was really good and original. special mention for desserts. The welcome is very nice. The only handicap in this restaurant is that we don't guess there's a restaurant in the castle. the frame is very pleasant.

Peaceful atmosphere, out of the world. choices between different specialities, simple but pleasant. Lunch formulas with several verrines in input/dessert a dish. tasting without feeling hungry.

Though the food was good, it was expensive. The layout of the self-service counter is odd. First you come to the coffee machine, then the till, then hot food, followed by desserts, then cold food and lastly a cold drinks cabinet. This made queuing difficult. Coffee (allegedly espresso but probably from a capsule) outrageously expensive at 3 euros. Outdoor seating on the grass and under a parasol (or under trees) was very pleasant and the service friendly, if somewhat amateurish.

We recently discovered (July 2, 2013) this place of restoration by visiting the castle of food. it seems that the restaurant has been opened only since the beginning of June, and we have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes offered in three versions at different prices. It's a kind of self service. There can be wines with the meal but there are no drinks like aperitives, which has a little bit of derogation...The frame is superb and we have lunched out with as horizons the towers, the chapel the gardens...bref it allowed us to restore us nicely, for a correct sum, during the visit of the castle, and to resume forces in order to finish the visit of the quite physical outdoors if we do it!

Although eating was good, it was expensive. the layout of the self-service counter is strange. first they come to the coffee machine, then eat until, then hot, followed by desserts, then eat cold and finally a cold soaking cabinet. this made queuing difficult. coffee (all espresso, but probably from an capsule) falsely expensive at 3 euro. outside seats on the grass and under a sunshade (or under trees) were very pleasant and service-friendly when something amateurish.
