The partner's word

Le Sourire is a French gastronomic restaurant in Angers that blends modern French cuisine with subtle Japanese influences. It was founded by three collaborators who met in Tokyo while working at the one‑star restaurant Chez Olivier, and their shared passion for French and Japanese culinary traditions shapes kitchen and service. The kitchen focuses on seasonal produce and market arrivals, and Friday evenings present a unique seven‑step tasting menu created by the chef; this tasting menu cannot accommodate specific dietary requirements or allergies. Le Sourire highlights quality products and careful menu conception, is selected in the Michelin Guide (Selected) and offers seasonal special events such as a Saint‑Sylvestre menu and gift vouchers for tasting experiences. An intimate, gastronomic dining room combines French fine‑dining refinement with touches of Japanese influence. The interior and table settings are polished and suited to refined, multi‑course meals. Contemporary French cuisine with Japanese influences is driven by seasonal sourcing and market arrivals. The kitchen offers an evolving à la carte and dedicated tasting menus that reflect the chef's inspirations. Chef Yuma Nishioka describes himself as a lover of traditional French gastronomy whose travels through French regions inspire his cooking. His team includes Yuta Mitsunari as sous‑chef with experience in starred French establishments in Japan and Anaïs Mitsunari as maître d’hôtel responsible for service and wine pairings. Specialties include pâté en croûte, pithivier and gelée de dashi with seafood, alongside a seasonal, market‑driven à la carte that typically presents 3–4 starters, 4–5 main courses and four desserts.
