• La Table de la Bergerie★ Michelin This restaurant near Angers, in the heart of the Coteaux-du-Layon vineyards, is well worth your attention. It is the haunt of talented David Guitton, who hails from Loire Atlantique and who has trained under top chefs all over the world from the United States and Britain to Monaco. There is no à la carte menu here, but a voluntarily concise offering that reverently respects the seasons. David sources his ingredients from small, local producers, rustling up dishes that err towards minimalist so that the flavour can take centre stage. Regional wines, including the estate’s organic production, ta6.9km
• Lueurs★ Michelin Le Petit Serrant, an 18C manor house located at the confluence of the River Maine and River Loire, is the elegant setting for this restaurant, where diners come as much for the cuisine as for the charm of the location. Romain Zarazaga, a chef trained by Laurent Petit, Emmanuel Renaut and the Troisgros, serves a wonderful array of dishes that are perfectly in tune with the times. His masterful jus and sauces are another standout feature of his cooking – for example, line-caught sea bass confit accompanied by a butter-based fish stock with Domaine Mosse vermouth.

• Lait Thym Sel★ Michelin The Morvan duo is back in the saddle and raring to go! They now work side by side, as the chef’s wife is happily back in the kitchen. After kicking off with a high-flying array of appetisers, the couple’s distinctive and creative score sets its sights on the local terroir (his birthplace) with a few hops over to Savoie (her birthplace). You can expect a virtuoso demonstration of culinary balance, enhanced by vibrant, incisive sauces that will sweep your tastebuds off their feet: duckling, sweet potatoes, grapefruit dressing, puree of rosehip and gin-spiked jus… On the beverage side, the alcoho18.1km

The chef’s slate menu unveils a fresh, indulgent take on nostalgic dishes that will make you drool: pâté en croûte; calf's head with gribiche sauce; saddle of rabbit, mashed potato, mustard sauce; game in season, without forgetting a vegetarian offering. Fine choice of sensibly priced tipples from Anjou and elsewhere, most of which are organic and natural and an impressive lineup of chartreuse liqueurs. Bookings recommended.17.0km

Meals are served in a trendy, industrial brasserie interior or alfresco, on the terrace.18.0km

The poplar wood walls are lined with cases of bottles in tribute to the owner’s former profession of wine merchant, which also explains the splendid selection of organic and natural vintages.

• Chez Rémi Sporting his checked shirt and blue apron, Rémi officiates behind what was likely the counter of this former betting shop, which has been turned into a cosy little bistro. On the menu for lunch today: a tasty chicken liver terrine; redfish bream with its delicious fumet; poached peach, financier and creamy house-made vanilla ice cream. One of the major draws is the restaurant's friendly atmosphere. Photos of the chef and his past co-workers adorn the walls, and a blackboard features the day's set menus. Customers collect their wine from the wine cellar, whether to accompany their meal here or 15.6km
• Kazumi Japanese-born Kazumi Hatakenaka originally came to France to work in a traditional inn in the Beaujolais region.

Expect to spend three hours to do full justice to this culinary experience.17.1km
