I'm only giving them 4 stars because I thought their menu was too small as well as their portions. I had a classic medium curry that tasted wonderful and my boyfriend had a korma. We each had a tiny naan (he had 2 because they were so small and were served too early (with the pickle tray). It was a good ploy. The service was good and speedy. In a country where you can get a 3-course meal for €15-20 at lunch time, we both thought it was somewhat overpriced for what we ordered, but they corner the market on Indian/Pakistani food in Angouleme so I guess they can charge what they want. We will be back when we have the craving again, but we aren't making it our weekly Saturday lunch place.

"Chez Paul" is a fine place to have lunch or dinner. In a big place several mood blend together,…read morebut the most impressive is the backyard where there is a great garden and calm foutain. The menu is full of French gastronomy. With light dishes, the plate isneither full neither empty, just the amount you need. Prices are not so high and are what you expect of the quality you see. The best way to enjoy is to take the "plaisir" menu. Waiters and waitress are polite and aware, they never hesitate to come check if everything is fine. Definitely a good place if you are looking for a distinguished restaurant.

I was born in France but now live in California, just back from a two week trip in the old country…read more On our way to Sarlat, my girlfriend and I happened to reach Angoulême on a summer Sunday at lunchtime. After walking through the market hall in the upper old town and looking around for some local food, we found "Chez Paul" inviting. It was fairly early, maybe 12:30pm, and only a few tables were occupied in the backyard. One of the French comments says the decor is out of fashion, but I liked the bistrot style. It is modern and clean, but friendly, welcoming and not pretentious. The place is neat with attention to details, and the tables are nicely separated. The blue giraffe in the middle of the vines was a nice surprise. We started reading the menus in French, but when the waitress heard us speak English, she immediately proposed some translated menus. That is one additional star right there! Thank you. The menu looked good for summer, I would certainly try some of the meats, and the salads looked quite nice. After a week on the coast splurging on seafood, I was more than ready for the 200gr (7oz) foie gras "de nos grands-mères" (our grand mothers' way) and some great south west half bottle of wine out of the very adequate list. Since we just saw market prices, I would say the markup is definitely worth sitting at a nice table with a very friendly service. The foie gras was perfect as far as I can tell, super clean, super soft, the right amount of salt and pepper. My very health conscious American friend now has a new perspective on this devilish creation. Along with a salad and some coffee, that turned out to be enough for us feeling full and happy. Only tiny wrinkle, the place was full (good for them) when we left and we had to wait a bit to get the check. So yes, it was summer, we were on vacation and the weather was great, but going back to our car, I was quite glad we had picked this place and not another one.
