"Saturday evening 10/28, dinner at the gourmet restaurant Les Sources de Fontbelle for the 2nd time (5 guests). The first time we were really enchanted by the setting, the service, the aperitif on the terrace and the chef 's proposal. On the other hand, this 2nd experience is very far from what I hoped to be able to experience again. Already from the aperitif we started on a bad basis with a little discriminatory side. This is the only restaurant that punishes you for appetizers because you do not have an aperitif (glass of champagne or cocktails) confirmed by the waiter. All the tables had different appetizers but not our table due to the simple fact that we had a bottle of white wine to start. I learned that you had to like champagne or cocktails to deserve the same service as on the other tables, which is unfortunately not the case for me and my guests followed me, sad for them (I should add which we also had a bottle of red wine afterwards). I find this lamentable for a gourmet restaurant, one Michelin star and for the 8-course menu at €130. For dinner, I was not transported compared to the first time. But this does not deserve criticism because tastes and colors are unique to each person: combination of trout and geranium, lobster and grapefruit (average for me) and cabbage (favorite). For dinner I just regretted that for the pigeon we didn 't ask for cooking and that we didn 't specify that it was very, very spicy. In conclusion, the experience inoculated me for a moment."

"that good advice on the choice of wines they make us taste before choosing the one we prefer and that will be served, rather than twice as one of them, accompanied by mixed plates, cheeses and charcuterie of excellent qualities, followed by a whole sausage with equally good hazelnuts, the atmosphere and the service are pleasant, festive and convivial in this good wine bar,"

"as soon as you cross the gates of the garett meals you feel transported on the other side of the ocean, American atmosphere guaranteed! 100% vintage decor, tv music clips and the dishes offered are totally different. choice in the menu, there are for all tastes and appetites, even some drinks arrive directly from uncle sam. if you want to spend a night without a chichi and feel the time of a meal outside the old angoulemia come here! not to mention the staff who give themselves to 200 % to satisfy us, especially brayan ;-) obviously if you compare with other closed restaurants that did not have the same concept at all (cf reviews below) do not cross the door, you will criticize, at least the garett to the merit of being there, having his print and style!"

"this bistro has many advantages:- a truly well-placed terrace- a nice, original and limited map which augurs from the fact home - a menu of the day to the ratio quality price unbeatable (pricey flat at 9.90€, plate-dessert at 12.90, entrance-plat-dessert)- a friendly and friendly service and good humor recommended for a simple, quality meal at a reasonable price."

"Like some others seem to have found, the host here was extremely rude. I speak French, and after asking if I could seat myself and his agreement, the menu of the day was brought for me to peruse. When he came back to take my order, I enquired as to whether the main of the day, stuffed tomatoes, was vegetarian. I was promptly told no, of course not, and that the restaurant had no vegetarian meals (both entree menu options appeared to be vegetarian), and that nowhere in Angouleme would either. I politely enquired what the tomatoes were stuffed with, as I do sometimes eat a little fish. As they were stuffed with sausage, I politely declined, thanked the host, and was gathering my things to leave. The host told me I would need to find a vegetarian restaurant. I responded that one dish would be sufficient. The French (locals?) at the adjoining tables all seemed to be listening in shock. I myself walked away shocked. I have both lived and travelled in France, and have always told people from elsewhere that the French reputation for being rude is unfounded, however if this was one's first impression of France, it would stick!"
