Le Gargouille

Wine bar in the old quarter with a serious Loire list and no pretension

Address Rue des Poeliers, Angers

A small wine bar in the old quarter, a few streets from the cathedral, with a focused list of Loire Valley wines by the glass and bottle. The selection leans toward natural and biodynamic producers from Anjou and Touraine, with a handful of bottles from further afield for variety. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff know the list well — worth asking for recommendations if you want to explore beyond the obvious Muscadet.

Cheese and charcuterie boards are available if you want something to eat, and the bar fills up pleasantly in the early evening before the dinner crowd disperses. It is the kind of place that rewards arriving without a plan and leaving with a bottle of something you had not heard of two hours earlier.
