An unprotected terrace only works half the season. In Angers, between the May showers and the vertical July sun, you either bring your guests in or you let them cook. At Les Variétés the terrace at 33 boulevard du Maréchal Foch is covered by one large awning: forty-three seats outside, usable when the weather cannot make up its mind.
One large awning, not three parasols
The difference is in the structure. A parasol shelters one table and leaves its neighbours in the sun; it has to be moved as the shade turns, and folded away at the first gust. The awning at Les Variétés covers the terrace in a single span. You sit where you like, you do not change places at two o'clock, and a summer shower does not empty the tables. That is what lets us offer the terrace in April as in September, and not only during the few weeks when the sky behaves.
Forty-three seats, a third of the house
The terrace seats forty-three out of a hundred and twenty-eight in all — the rest is spread across four indoor rooms: Entrée Foch with thirteen seats, Arrière Foch with seventeen, the Bressigny room with twenty-five and the Salle Haute with thirty. That figure matters for a party: a dozen people can sit outside without tying up a whole room, and the team keeps some flexibility for the rest of the service. These capacities were counted table by table on 31 August 2026.
Boulevard Foch as the backdrop
This is not a back-alley terrace, tucked away in flat calm. Boulevard du Maréchal Foch is a thoroughfare every local can place: you watch the city go by, the bicycles, the people heading home from work. Some people want exactly that — to sit outside and look. Others prefer the back of the room. Both exist here, and the choice is made on arrival.
The terrace depends on the day, not the calendar
It opens according to the weather and according to the service. The awning changes a great deal; it does not change everything. A steady wind or a settled cold closes it here as anywhere. The safest course is to call 02 41 88 46 62, or to state your preference when booking. The team will tell you what can be opened that day rather than leaving you hoping for a seat outside.
The same menu, inside and out
Nothing changes on the plate. The meat is French, the fish comes from Saumur, the menu follows the deliveries and can be consulted online before you come, with allergens listed dish by dish. You have lunch on the terrace exactly as you dine in the room, and the house stays open late: Monday to Friday from 9.30 a.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Closed on Sundays.
