Affamés
Nestled just a stone's throw from the train station, this restaurant in Angers is a rare gem. Led by chef Valentin Raguin, it offers modern, decidedly gourmet bistro cuisine (yes, the portions are generous, and no, you won't leave hungry). On the menu: beetroot-crusted pig's trotters, creamy pumpkin soup, and Paris-Brest pastry. At lunchtime, a three-course menu is available for €23. In the evening, choose from a selection of dishes to share or enjoy on your own, or opt for the tasting menu.
