Angèle occupies the historic Hatt Building along the Napa River, opened by Bettina Rouas in December 2002. The restaurant translates the simple cuisine of the French countryside to downtown Napa, running Northern California produce through classic French country technique.
The dining room sits alongside outdoor waterfront seating on the river, a setting the restaurant sets apart from the rest of town. An extensive wine and spirits list draws from both French and American wine country to sit alongside the menu, which includes a potato leek soup that regulars keep coming back for.
The restaurant works with local farmers and purveyors, and has built a steady local following over more than two decades, known for consistent execution and an unpretentious approach to fine dining.
