We had one day in Angouleme and were ready for lunch. We were walking by and read the menu and decided to stop into La Cantine. It was full of people, mostly locals (a very good sign, in our view) and we were very happy with our food and the service. Once the woman who sat us upstairs realized we were American, she assigned a lovely waitstaff, Nicholas, to serve us. He was very informative and helped us make good choices. I got a mixed salad with brie/fig jam on toasts and bacon, my husband got a meat plate - with a small bowl of tartare (which he loved) and some ounces of beef, also a large salad with camembert. Even the coffee was delicious! We would highly recommend this as a great lunch...
The restaurant has quite nice decor and is located in the main restaurant cobbled streets round the corner from Le Chat Noir. Had the fois gras to start which only came 3 tiny burnt pieces of bread and a teaspoon of fig jam which for €14 was a bit sparse. I then made the mistake of going for the moules and frites, the chips were so cold and oily I couldn't eat them and the mussels were all small, bland and were clearly frozen. My husbands lamb shank was disappointing too with hardly any meat on it. Wouldn't go again, lots of good restaurants in Angouleme, just this isn't one of them.
We were decided to reserve a table at this restaurant as it was a very popular weekend in Angouleme. We're glad we did since it became very busy. It has a very good menu but of course no 'menu de jour' on a Sunday on race day. Nevertheless we had an excellent meal for good value, about 30€ per person including wine. We shared a starter and glad we did since it would have been too much for one. The main course turned out to be a meal in itself with Rillettes, melon, steak tartare and a 150g steak etc for less than 20€. Service a bit slow but they were very busy.
A routier just on the right hand side of the N10 just south of Mansle. We went with friends for the evening meal a fixed price with starter, main, dessert.wine included ( some dishes such as duck carried a small supplement.) Very good value with an excellent well stocked buffet, loads of sea-food. Mains substantial and tasty. Fairly basic decore but friendly helpful service. Easy to park. A bar for pre meal drinks.

I have visited La Cantine at least 4 times and it has always been very nice. In the summer you can sit outside which is better. The food is great, They have a large selection of different dishes and some very reasonable set menus considering the price. If you are looking for a mid priced meal in Angouleme this should be on your list.
Lovely place, in one of the tinly little streets in Angouleme. Can sit in or out. Staff great, nothing is too much trouble and the food is tremendous.You must try one of the platters - i tried steak and duck and both were beautiful!!!a must if in the area!!
We selected different set menus at different prices which suited us both, we were not disappointed. I had an excellent steak, and my partner Chicken Kebab, with a rich tomato sauce. Starters and desserts were also great. Would eat there again.
We have been coming to La Cantine for a number of years, the food has always been good. Last night we experienced a great evening meal, Moules were amazing!service was good and the team made us feel welcome. See you next year La Cantine ????

There are many good restaurants in this city, we ate here as there was room! The staff were excellent and the food simply amazing, freshly cooked and with very generous portions, particularly the home made burgers, delicious.
