The partner's word
Ancestral, in Angers’ historic Doutre district, invites guests to reconnect with the essence of French culinary traditions. The chef, originally from the Sarthe, brings more than ten years in starred kitchens, including Joël Robuchon in Monaco and Daniel Boulud in Montréal, and most recently serves as chef at Odorico in the Hôtel d'Anjou. Sourcing is exclusively from local producers chosen for ethical and sustainable practices — permaculture-grown vegetables, free-range meats and artisanal cheeses — and the wine list emphasizes organic, biodynamic and natural wines with a focus on Anjou alongside selections from further afield. The restaurant presents set lunch formulas and structured dinner menus and is listed in the MICHELIN 2025 Selected.
The dining room reflects an authentic, intimate atmosphere aligned with the restaurant’s values of tradition and sharing, focused on harmony between gastronomy and authenticity.
Cuisine is contemporary French rooted in terroir and seasonal produce, revisiting traditional techniques with modern finesse and a philosophy centered on product provenance and ethical sourcing.
Kevin Bougard is the chef.
Specialties include a 3-course discovery menu and a 5-course tasting menu, seasonal terroir-driven dishes, 2/3/4-course lunch set formulas, and wine pairings highlighting Loire and Portugal.
