We enjoy traveling in France and visit often. Weâre usually treated as ugly Americans and receive poor rude, even hostile service. Vive la France. Avignon was on my bucket list and well worth a visit to the Papal museums. We stopped here for lunch first due to its proximity to the papal museums and the high ratings on trip advisor. The waitress was lovely and attentive. The owners were over the top in terms of satisfying customers in every way. Bravo Paulâs. France needs more persons treating clients properly like you. The food is delicious and fresh. Great salads large enough for 2 to share. This place is a gem. I would eat here regularly if we could.

Away from the tourist traps, this vegetarian-friendly restaurant is situated in a pedestrian zone and offers friendly service and excellent quality. The menu is straightforward with creative touches, and the house wine is fantastic. Watch the chefs prepare the food from your patio seat: they do it with joy and skill. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner!

Although our hotel clerk didn't have a recommendation, he suggested picking a restaurant with a small menu - which indicates fresh ingredients. We chose well!We started with the gazpacho - a combo of tomatoes, strawberries and basil and the tomato panna cotta - which was fresh and creative. It was delicious and very fresh. We had an unusual salad - melon, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella which was as pleasing to the eye as the palate and a hamburger which we could not finish. Everything was so delicious - it was truly a fabulous dinner!

This is an excellent restaurant serving traditional Provencale cuisine at very reasonable prices. You can sit inside (well-airconned) or out (on a not very interesting street). The fixed price menus are great value. If you intend to see the son et lumiere show at the Palais at 2130H, let the staff know when you arrive and they will serve your courses so there is no rush at the end.,

Went here after some hours of shopping. First off; Avignon is a beautiful and romantic city. I allways use this app finding a restaurant, and this restaurant soon draw my attention; the simplicity but good quality. Itâs located in a small alley, which we found really nice. We visited with our two kids. Since our kids our much about simple pasta and fried goods, we asked the waitress if some ajdustments good be made to the pasta which was on the menu (the original pasta with cury and nuts looked very good, but experimenting is not something our kids do easily). Me and my wife shared the biscuit with pesto and peas, had the steak tuna with vegetables and a mixed fish cury. The kids shared the pasta - served with butter and parmesan and had the french steak. The tuna - medium cooked -and the vegetables were cooked very, very good. The mixed fish cury was fine, simple thai dish. The pasta the kids had was just like described- with cheese and some oil; nothing more nothing less. The beef steak was tender and tasted very nice. The vegetables which came with it- especially the haricots verts were perfectly cooked. We had a white wine, which tasted fine. They charged the original 13 euro for the pasta the kids had. That is too expensive for just pasta and cheese. The rest of the of the prices are good though. The service is good. Overall we had a very nice experience and would recommend it.

Sometimes TripAdvisor needs that 6th star. This place deserves it. The Michelin sign sure helps.We stopped here for lunch on a Monday. No reservation we arrived close to noon (open 12-2 for lunch) and got a nice table. The place is small, very simple, clean but very contemporary decor. We each chose the lunch special: main with dessert for 20â¬. You can order from the menu but we thought, letâs make it simple. I had the cod over tomato creamed polenta while she chose pork over peas, green beans, and chorizo. Both were heavenly! The dessert of the day was fresh figs, slices of orange and grapefruit over mascarpone with orange sauce and a scoop of lemon ice. There are no words to describe this dessert. Sublime.Our servers were very good and the mood is very pleasant, not stuffy. We chilled, they treated us to amazing food. How can you not enjoy life in Avignon!

We were recommended of this place for dinner from our host, who also suggested us to book. But we did not, instead we went there early around 6.30 pm as we found in the TripAdvisor that this place opens earlier than others. The place looked pretty, small and very welcomed. We were the first guests, the lady speaks both English and French. She is very nice, polite and explained the foods so well. We had a very lovely evening and perfect meals, would love to come back if have a chance. Not long, the restaurant was full. We were so lucky to find this gem.

I keep track of my top 5 restaurants I have visited world wide. 12 years in the making. From Marmalade in Puerto Rico to Sensi in Barcelona. But itâs been years since I have had a chance to announce a new favorite. La cuisine du Dimanche. Wow. Husband and wife buy this restaurant from the prior owners nearly 4 years ago. The prior owners would only sell to this couple that would continue the tradition. And they have done so and moreGreat wine list. Great service. (My wife orders the seasonal vegetables as her entree only to find out they were beets. They quickly changed it out to a fabulous purée of carrots and grilled vegetables. It was crazy good.). The risotto was amazing as was the duck. Everything was truly crazy good which puts it now in my top 5 world wide. DO yourself a favor. Dine here!Merci d'avoir pris le temps de vous arrêter chez nous et de partager votre avis. Au plaisir de vous servirPauline et Mathieu
