Autour d'un Cep
About
Nestled in the heart of Angers, just steps from the majestic Saint‑Maurice Cathedral, Autour d'un Cep blends a cosy bistro‑style lunch experience with elegant gourmet dinners. The kitchen is driven by a strong commitment to sustainability, sourcing most produce locally, and offering a seasonal tasting menu that showcases the best of the Loire Valley. On the right side of the restaurant’s historic facade lies an intimate wine bar where guests can sample house‑selected wines, many of which are organic or biodynamic. The day‑time menu—known as the “déj”—features rotating plates of vegetable, protein, and dessert, with prices ranging from €29 to €45. Evenings see guests dining “à l’aveugle” with a choice of three, five, or seven‑appellation courses, starting at €50 and going up to €78, each paired with an expertly curated wine tasting. Complementary beverages such as the house selection of chilled wine, craft beers, and signature cocktails add depth to the culinary journey. Beyond exceptional food, the restaurant’s ambience provides a warm, welcoming backdrop for couples, families, solo diners, and eco‑enthusiasts alike. With a history that blends heritage and modern eco‑responsibility, Autour d'un Cep invites travelers to savor the flavors of the Loire Valley in an elegant yet relaxed setting.
