French restaurants in Avignon

  1. A

    L'Echappée Belle

    For flavours of cumin, saffron and ginger infusing regional produce; or for homemade pastry and tea, Avignon's new restaurant/salon de thé (tearoom) is a treat. Named after the Nicolas Bouvier novel of the same name (which translates as The Beautiful Escape), L'Echappée Belle is a chic yet relaxed spot amid Avignon's architectural and artistic highlights.

    La Fourchette

    An enduring classical French bistro west of place de l'Horloge run by the same family for generations, La Fourchette offers a tempting choice of dishes on its fixed-price menu (prices are the same for lunch or dinner). Along with tender lamb, specialities include marinaded sardines, and a sinful meringue ice cream with praline.

    Le Caveau du Théâtre

    Swing over to the south of the square for mellow, moody jazz and a monthly changing carte (menu) of traditional southern French fare with extra zip, such as butter-fried fish in a curry paste with sun-dried tomatoes.

    Le Grand Café

    Le Grand Café serves delicious cuisine, such as lamb tagine, in a magnificent setting. Contemporary art works hang from the redbrick ceiling of the former warehouse, complete with a lovely terrace and mirror-lined walls.
