The story

La Table de Clément Paillard – Contemporary Cuisine in Angers, France | Wattafork

A restaurant with a view

Facing the Cathédrale Saint-Maurice, La Table de Clément Paillard occupies a rare spot in the heart of Angers. The dining room is sober and elegant, with soft light, muffled tones, and tables spaced for privacy. It feels like a genuine pause, whether for a business lunch, a romantic dinner, or a celebration.

The chef and his team

Clément Paillard trained in prestigious houses before opening his own table. His cooking is precise, creative, and deeply rooted in the Anjou terroir. He works with local artisans and seasonal produce, placing taste and emotion at the centre of each plate. The team is a tight-knit group: sommeliers Aurore and Tom care for the wine pairings, apprentice Oscar brings fresh energy, and Paul leads the kitchen. Together, they aim to offer an experience of accessible excellence.

Menus that reflect the seasons

The restaurant offers several ways to explore the chef’s Contemporary cuisine. At lunch (Thursday and Friday), a three-course menu at 35€ is a refined, quick parenthesis. For a deeper journey, the evening tasting menu presents seven courses (85€), evolving with the seasons. There is also a five-course “Freestyle” menu (69€), a shorter version that captures the essence of the chef’s style. Wine pairings are available in four or five glasses, and a signature cocktail adds a fresh, contemporary note. A cheese selection is also offered to extend the meal.

Recognition and philosophy

La Table de Clément Paillard earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition of its consistent quality and sincere approach. The Contemporary cuisine here is never fussy; it is built on precise technique, local ingredients, and the rhythm of the seasons. Every dish tells a story of the region and the moment.

The experience

The atmosphere is one of discreet elegance, where the team’s warmth and professionalism make every guest feel welcome. Gift cards for all menus, wine pairings, and the cocktail are available, valid for one year. It is a place to celebrate the living and the instant, offering a contemporary culinary experience that is both grounded and refined.
