A tour group eats at an hour that suits nobody, rarely arrives when it said it would, and leaves in one block. Les Variétés receives these groups at 33 boulevard du Maréchal Foch in Angers, between Saint-Laud station, the castle and the cathedral — that is, on the route rather than off it.
On the route, not to one side
That is what counts for a group on foot: boulevard du Maréchal Foch is within walking distance of Angers Castle, Saint-Maurice cathedral, Place du Ralliement and Saint-Laud station. A group coming out of the castle reaches the table without transport, and heads back to the station the same way.
An odd hour is not a problem
A visit overruns, a coach is late, and the group turns up at quarter past two. The menu is served at lunch and at dinner; between the two services, jar dishes are available at any hour — duck parmentier, pea risotto, hachis parmentier. A group arriving outside service does not leave without something hot.
Thirty people in one room
The Salle Haute takes thirty upstairs, the Bressigny room twenty-five. Beyond thirty the group is split, and we say so in advance rather than let you discover it on arrival. Eighty-five seats indoors in all, and forty-three on the covered terrace when the sky agrees.
The menu reads in ten languages
The online menu exists in ten languages, with allergens listed dish by dish. For a foreign group that is the most useful point on this page: the guide can circulate it before arriving, and everyone knows what they are ordering without improvised translation at the table.
The website speaks six languages too
The house's pages exist in French, English, German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian. A tour leader can therefore send the address and the practical information in the group's language, before departure.
What to tell us, and when
The exact number, the real arrival time, the time you must leave, and any special diets. Across thirty covers those four lines determine the room and the shape of the service. A group announced for half past twelve that arrives at half past one occupies the space twice over.
Choose the dishes in advance
For a group, two or three dishes settled before arrival beat an open menu: the service leaves the kitchen in one go, and a group with a coach to catch does not wait. We settle it by telephone a few days ahead, from the current menu.
A house from 1902
For a group on a visit this matters: the brasserie opened in 1902 and takes its name from the Théâtre des Variétés, which stood almost opposite, slightly to the right. You are not eating under an interchangeable sign, but in an address that belongs to the city visited that very morning.
What we do not promise
A coach set down at the door: the centre of Angers does not allow it, and the drop-off is arranged with your driver. More than thirty people in a single room. The terrace, which depends on the weather. And Sunday, when we are closed all day.
Booking
For a group, the telephone: 02 41 88 46 62. Online booking is designed for two to six people and does not suit a party of thirty.
