My review is of the restaurant. On our first day in St. Rémy, we were walking around looking for a…read moreplace to feed our hungry tummies. We came upon La Fontaine and their menu looked good. Although there weren't many reviews, we decided to just go for it. We were seated immediately, and offered menus in English. Our server was friendly, spoke some English, and was patient with my broken French. We each ordered the Entrecôte, a salad to start, and a carafe of Rosé. Let me start with the salad. This was absolutely huge! Even though we were sharing one, we struggled to finish it. But just couldn't stop, because it was so fresh & tasty. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and topped with garlic butter that just enhanced the flavor of an already delicious steak. Even the frites were yummy. Their Rosé house wine was really good as well. I know that this is a fail on my part, but I seriously cannot remember what we had for dessert. I know that we both enjoyed it though. Oh, and their pistachio glaçe is delicious! We were only in St Remy for a week and visited this restaurant 2x. Both times we enjoyed the Entrecôte. The service was friendly, the prices are fair and the food was delicious! Will definitely return!

I enjoyed a salad with all the ingredients in a jar: shake before you open the cap and eat. Also enjoyed a Risotto: heated perfectly at the counter The Chia seed dessert was excellent. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine reasonably priced at Euro 13 and complimentary water: Fizzy or natural. Nice outdoor space to enjoy their offerings. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Great option if your looking for a casual meal in Avignon.

Vivotto is a five-star cafe for so many reasons…read more Great, innovative concept. The owner prepares meals daily and packages them in short mason jars with those easy-to-open latches so you can mix and match what you want to eat. You can eat in or take away your meal. They make all of their meals from scratch including making their own pasta. They make all of their fruit juices and most of their pastries. They do sell beet and wine and little sweet treats that aren't their own but these fill in to complete their menu. The space is super clean, bright and happy, very welcoming. They are open long hours every day of the week without the typical afternoon gap many restaurants have. They have enough people working for them that they don't need to take all or part of August off because of burnout after Festival d'Avignon, an annual live theater festival, held throughout July. Because they do pitch this as an Italian cafe they do offer a lot of high carb meals, your basic pastas. I wish they had more things like salads but I won't fault them for not because they are an Italian restaurant and they have done everything to perfection. Kudos to you, Vivotto.

What was shocking was the snarkiness and rudeness of her reply. Explaining we should have know that before we sat down but really there were no signs. So we paid our bill and left. As did the table of two right beside us for the very same reason. I do understand it's the rule of restaurant and that is not my issue. It's the absolute rudeness and dismissiveness of the proprietress that earned the 2 stars.

Cozy dinner option in Avignon! We came right at opening time on a Sunday night - best to get here…read moreearly, as the restaurant fills up fast! The workers inside speak English, and many of the other tables seemed to be filled with English-speaking tourist groups. The dinner menu consists of around 4 entree options, 7 main course options, and 4 dessert options. To start, we ordered the salmon tartare with guacamole. It comes in a jar with a side salad. The portion for this one is on the smaller end - we were fine with sharing, but I can see someone ordering this just for themselves if they're super hungry. The salmon was pretty fresh and a good pairing with the bread. For the main courses, we ordered the duck breast, truffle ravioli, and cod fillet. Service was quite fast, especially considering that the restaurant was almost full by the time we had finished our appetizer. The duck breast was very tender, and the chief sauce used was delicious! The truffle ravioli had delicious Parmesan sauce. I do wish there was a stronger hint of truffle in the sauce, but the dish was still good, as the pasta was al dente and chewy. The cod fillet had a fragrant saffron white butter sauce which complemented the tender fish well. I also really liked that it came with side vegetables, definitely a healthier dish! We ended with the cheesecake, which was smooth and creamy, with tangy raspberry sauce drizzled over. Delicious food, bustling atmosphere, and quick service! Quite satisfied with this great meal in Avignon :)

Simply looking for pizza and this was closest place open on Sunday night…read more Cute little corner with 6-8 tables on umbrella covered patio. Multiple tables on sidewalk. Large outdoor dining on roof. 8-10 tables inside. Full bar. Traveling carnival across the street lent an incredibly exciting atmosphere. Cook staff only spoke French but our lovely waitress could communicate well in English. 8-10 different pizzas and we didn't look at other options. Four different wines in each category so we chose the local white. Very nice. We planned on sharing a pizza but waitress convinced us we needed two. In the end we each ate half and I had pizza for my petite dejener this morning. We seemed to be the only Americans there which I like and indicates it's not a tourist place. Pizza was thin in center, requiring knife and fork, but a nice, thick, perfectly cooked crust allowed finishing it off by hand. All in all, a tasty, fairly priced interlude. €66 for two 12", multiple ingredient pizzas, a full bottle of wine, a liter of San Pelegrín and one of those tiny French coffees that I'm developing a taste for. If I were to return to .st. Remy for a third time I'd be sure to stop here.

Our hotel recommended Avenio as a good choice for a nicer meal in Avignon. We made a reservation as the hotel's outdoor seating area is quite limited. The weather was perfect for an outdoor dinner. We decided to order main courses from the "Saison Plat" menu and deserts. My wife ordered the lamb and I ordered the fish. We shared a bottle of wine from the region. The fish was nicely prepared. It was cooked properly. My wife's lamb was also well prepared. The deserts are over the top. One of the highlights of the meal. Avenio is a nice choice for a finer dinner in Avignon.
