Thanks to all for your responses. I'm making notes fast and furious!! Making dining plans is much of the total enjoyment of any trip for me. Les Papilles looks great from what I can see on Trip Advisor but they have no website. Can anyone comment on the price of their no choice, fixed price menu? I'll be digging into all of the links you have provided. Thanks again.

You can email them to make a reservation (I think I did it through their facebook page) but you have to call them the day before to confirm. They speak enough English and I spoke enough French to manage!

Sad but true that here in PA, MD, or DC the price of a good lunch is at least twice what it is in France, and the quality here isn't as good. On the down side, that means we want to cram six months worth of restaurant meals into one month in France. If only I could spread them out.

Hi
just wandering how many people understand the play word about ange 20
it would be written ange vingt and pronounced angevin which means coming from Anjou.
Anjou being a region in France close to la Loire.
Voila.
Dont hesitate to contact me for more info about playwords in french.
Yours.
Ahbonvraiment linguiste.

Actually, it's a triple pun. Restaurant l'Ange Vingt == l'ange vin == Wine Angel (look at their logo) but also == Paul Langevin, a French physicist for whom a nearby street is named. Had a really nice meal there last fall.

We had our wedding anniversary dinner at l'Ange Vingt a 2 or 3 years ago and while I thought it was good, I didn't think it was wildly special, even for their 7 hours lamb which gets praised a lot. (Le fondant d’agneau de sept heures). The service was good and people were nice but I didn't think the food was particularly memorable IMO.
