La Part des Anges / the angels share at Albi theatre

Unless you have already got tickets for productions at Albi theatre, the next few weeks all seem to be booked.
You can still go for a meal to the theatre restaurant  where the price ranges are from 16 to 52 euros, a proud boast of fresh products and cooked in the kitchen ( as distinct from microwaved meals)
I do like the name of the restaurant.

and this is called the angels share
During the process of making wine or whiskey, producers often use oak barrels to store their drink products; when alcohol is stored at 60 percent humidity or higher, for long periods of time, some of it will evaporate out of the barrel. The evaporating alcohol is called the angel's share, alluding to the belief that guardian angels watch over the product as it ages. The beverage's alcoholic level can be determined in part by how much alcohol evaporates out of the oak barrels.
