L'Ardoise - cuisine méditerranéenne

We were able to get a table short term on Saturday evening, not so easy at smaller places. We enjoyed professional service, nice and quiet ambience and delicious food full of great flavor. We can recommend this place for honest, fresh cuisine.

My oh my ! Here are Probably the best original dishes reminding you of your grand parents living in the countryside and cooking or baking the old folk's recipes with ingredients you'd think have disappeared forever. Like their pig from Cantal. If you open the door to this original restaurant you will experience a gustatory trip. Wines are awesome. Specific "accords" wine pairing with the tasty food thanks to their precious searching.

Good service, nice vibe!

This is an attractive restaurant, with an attractive menu. Unfortunately, it's some distance from the river, in a stone plaza, so it remains too warm until the late evening, and the area isn't very green. The pasta in my pasta vongole was perfect, but the clams weren't special. My dinner partner's mixed seafood was not especially good. The mussels were mostly good but one of them was quite stale, and she looked like she was going to cry when she tried to eat it. My dinner partner's raspberry dessert was quite good, but my chocolate gateu wasn't special. Overall, a very mixed experience. Others have written with praise, and that may very well be merited, but our evening wasn't as pleasant as we had hoped.

Excellent food, with simple and hearty dishes, cooked perfectly. Some gems on the wine list, however the wines are not served in the best glassware and wine service could have been a bit more pro active.

On an insanely packed night during wine fair weekend in Angers, L’Ardoise dished up exquisitely executed, traditional dishes (oysters, two different terrines, lièvre royale, cote de boeuf, roasted potatoes-carrots-girolles), a really fun wine list and, most notably given the madness, attentive service and warm hospitality. The menu was different from its normal one apparently—a smart move in anticipation of the hungry and thirsty wine-industry hordes—but I have 100% confidence in and would happily come back for the regular, more seasonal menu. Truly an impressive and fun place and staff!

We had a fantastic meal with 6 people at lunch. With no French speakers, we appreciated the friendly & helpful servers and chef. Wonderful place

Popular, so make a reservation. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Good wine and deserts.
