Let me start by saying the staff (every waitperson I encountered) was so sweet and very accommodating to English speakers. The restaurant has an elegant interior and courtyard. While several of the plates were tasty the duck was badly prepared. It was not seared properly do the skin was like a slab of fat. I think most places would know... More

We dined at the restaurant with our 10 month old baby and were so impressed at how accommodative and friendly the restaurant owner was towards us! She even told us that she was glad we brought him and made a special effort to make us comfortable which was so appreciated as this was a special night out for us. In... More

Went to this very impressive and well rated restaurant in Avignon last night, the decor was very modern and tasteful with a great outdoor courtyard.

We went there with a tour group, but despite it being a group booking, we had excellent service and great food. The staff went out out of their way to meet dietary requirements, which was very much appreciated, I would definitely return.

We enjoyed our dinner experience at this contemporary restaurant. It was an obvious favorite as it was necessary to book in advance. The food was divine. Our only caveat would be the immaturity of the staff when dealing with English speaking tourists. The owner was adorable and took very good care of us by aiding her wait staff. My husband... More

I made the reservation online 3 weeks before and got an immediate response from the owner himself. The restaurant is modern chic, the plates beautifully arranged and the food heavenly. You could see how the tables next to us also got excited whenever a new dish arrived. For dessert you'll have to try the chocolate trio! The only negative was... More
