La Cigogne sur Soyaux

We had dinner there last night as a family to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is secluded, overlooking the Anguienne Valley. The welcome was pleasant and warm. The atmosphere is hushed and relaxing; the layout, with several small rooms, seemed to us to be a real plus, as it creates an intimate and cozy feel. As for the food, everything is perfectly balanced in terms of flavor, texture, and seasoning. It's truly a masterclass in cooking, full of flavor, smokiness, sweetness, and richness. We savored the beautifully presented dishes, taking a little of this with a little of that, creating a unique experience with each bite. It's exactly the kind of cuisine I love: sophisticated yet unpretentious, generous, and perfectly balanced. The hanger steak with its cauliflower purée and rich jus brought a big smile to my face from the first bite, and the shredded haddock was superb. The dessert was almost "too much," but it was the perfect ending to a wonderful culinary experience. The two people serving were very pleasant, smiling, and professional. We came with two children, ages 11 and 7, and the chef offered us a variation from the menu with fries (fresh ☺️) but with the same high-quality meat. They thoroughly enjoyed it. In short, it's a great place, offering good value for money considering the quality of the food and the generous portions. We can't wait to come back in the summer. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Today we had lunch here, for the first time with the new owners (who previously owned the Epicurieux in Angoulême). There's a choice of two starters, two mains and two desserts and the price is €42 for three courses. The food was beautifully presented and was delicious. Friendly service which is not rushed.

Since the new owners took over, it's a real treat! Go for it!

The new owners are very welcoming, the cuisine is refined, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere warm and cozy. Excellent value for money.

My partner, son, and I had lunch at this restaurant on Saturday. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The new owners are young but very professional. The setting is beautiful, tastefully renovated. The dishes were beautifully presented and of high quality. We will definitely return.

Our favorite restaurant in Angoulême for years. We had a wedding anniversary this summer with the family. Delicious lunch.

Just outside Soyaux, in a fantastic location. An old quarry. Just driving there is a treat. Two menus. Excellent choices. You can also have lunch there for €30 per person.

We tried the €52 ANGUIENNE takeaway menu. Everything was perfect. The portions were carefully prepared and ready for transport. We were warmly welcomed, with all the preparation instructions for the various dishes. Appetizers, toast for the foie gras and chutney, plated starters, a generous assortment of cheeses, and a succulent dessert. A quick apology to the chef: We mistakenly revisited the "langoustine in two textures" starter because we baked the langoustine but also the base preparation! It was delicious, however, and we'll come back to taste the original version... We had a wonderful time at home. A big thank you to the entire team.

This restaurant is a real favorite in Angoulême. It's discreet and offers a breathtaking view, and consistently delicious dishes at very reasonable prices. The welcome is warm and attentive. I come here once or twice a year, and I've never been disappointed.
