A quite remarkable restaurant with great food and excellent service. I was looking for Provençal Cuisine and they had a couple of dishes that fit that description. Everything was creative and beautiful prepared. I had a lovely evening. read more

I ordered multiple pastries and they did not put the right amount and correct pastries in my bag! I was over charged and under delivered! I left a message without a return call! read more

Wasn't a huge fan of this place. Although the pork jowl (pig cheeks) was very tender and good, I didn't love my entree (the first one on the list - see photos - which was rolled up pike fish with crawfish and morel mushrooms). The sauce on my entree was good but otherwise didn't like the dish. The creme brûlée was also disappointing. The escargots weren't bad - pretty flavorful and one of the better dishes we ordered. read more

Food, service, ambiance. Michelin star worthy! It was our first dining experience in Avignon on the night of our visit recommended by the hotel concierge. Actually, no, yes, lol, I found it on Yelp thanks to the excellent reviews & I asked the hotel concierge if they would recommend it. It was a truly amazing experience for us. I always thought I was not a really great fan of French food of which I often found them too fatty to my liking in the few well known French restaurants in Manhattan but not anymore . The escargot dish was so good & fun to eat - taking out the juicy inside parts from the hot shell that melted in my mouth! The seafood dish was awesome & I forgot what my hubby ordered, lol, but it was something so delicious as well. Highly highly recommend! read more

This is a small place inside the Roman Wall, but still off the tourist path. It is a typical French spot full of typical French folks hoisting full forks of reasonably priced French fare. (26.50 Euros for a set menu). There is small room as you enter with tables almost touching. Very touching, and also another small dining area down a few steps and around a corner. Both rooms are completely enclosed in wood panels so that it feels cozy as if your're eating in a ship's galley. The decor has a nautical theme with no blue pigs snorting truffles to be seen, despite the name. Okay, there are a few ceramic pigs in the porthole between both rooms but that is the only porcine reference as the menu is mostly seafood forward. In fact there is no pork entree on offer and the entree choices are as limited as the size of the place itself. The one waiter seats you and hands over a plate of over salted peanuts, (no big deal), and a little cup of Fish Pate with Melba rounds. (Big deal.) The spread had no taste. There is a sweet spot between a briny fresh fish and the lining of an old boxing glove. Alas, the kitchen couldn't find it. Order a beer and forget the bar nibbles or remain optimistic as I did and have a Kir Royale Framboise and cross your fingers that it gets better. Of course it's difficult to handle your cutlery with your fingers crossed. Water arrived with a cracked glass which I traded for one with a dried Spinach leaf that had escaped from someone else's dental crevice and ended up clinging to my glass. I lifted one from the next table, and voila, all set now for the set menu to come. I ordered the Gratin de Raviolis Du Dauphine Aux Cepes, Au Salade Parmesan (now there's a mouth full) as a starter mainly because I was tired of Escargot. (How very Marie Antoinette that sounds). I was simply just full of Escargot which replaced what I'm normally full of. (I was thinking cheese, what were you thinking of?) The Ravioli, both Spinach (sans one leaf) and plain, came in a screaming hot casserole and were so small they must have been made by Santa's elves, a Leprechaun, or someone's diminutive ancient crone of a Corsican grandmere. These micro-pillows were stuffed with a nano-bite of cheese and actually were quite nice. They were as soft and comforting as your sainted Mum's bosom. And very cheesy they were too. (Not your Mum's bosom, the Ravioli). The Cream Sauce which filled in the blanks had tiny flecks of Mushrooms and the whole construction was as uncomplicated and pleasant as Melania. The Gratin D'Andouillette (AOC'd in the bargain), was simply coins of Tripe Sausage. (Apparently, either the local favorite, or there was a bumper crop of tripe to get rid of). The one link was buried under the same Cream Sauce as the Ravioli. Well, one size or sauce fits all, no? Don't forget to remove the casing as you tuck into this offal or you'll still be chewing it on the flight home. The Salad and Roasted Potatoes that comes with the dish would have been great without the sausage that needed salt, pepper, garlic, mustard...something. There were some decent caramelized Onions with Poppy Seeds under the whole mess that were interesting and then there was a crumb topping to add some character and finish the dish. But you'll be hard pressed to finish this dish. It was as rich as Carlos Slim although nothing about this plate had anything to do with a slim anything. The Quenelle en Brochet avec Sauce Ecrevisses (Crayfish) was basically a Pike Dumpling casserole buried under, you guessed it, you smart whip, a Cream Sauce albeit this time with a hint of Tomato. It was a small blimp channeling Gefilte Fish, and it was simply bland no matter what the lineage. Finally, course three arrived. A feather light Baba au Rhum with Rum Raisin Ice Cream. Thankfully, the baseball sized glop of Whipped Cream was served on the side. I was able to keep it from making a home on this homme. It also came with a heart stopping shooter of Calvados suitable for clearing your sinuses or hotel shower drain. I think Le Cochon Bleu and I could be threw. read more

The food and service were outstanding. We enjoyed our dishes very much. The decor was fun.

The ratings speak for themselves amazing restaurant, great service and excellent food! The Duck Foie Gras was to die for especially on hot bread. I had the Shrimp and Scallops which paired nicely with the creamy sauce. My family also had the beef carpaccio and sea bass as well. All delicious, delicious, delicious! read more

First the good: staff was very kind and patient, the escargot and salad were very good, and the wine was as well. The plats were where things fell apart for us. The scallops were burnt and way overcooked to the point of being tough and chewy. The pork was cooked to a mid rare, but was a bit tough and lacking in seasoning though much better than the scallops. Both dishes had the same accompaniments, which were somewhat bland and lacking in flavor and texture contrasts that some browning and searing could have added. Overall our least favorite meal in Provence so far. On a side note, this place was fully booked and seemed a popular place for locals who the waitress seemed to know personally. read more

Saw this recommended in a Michelin list and went. Loved all the food here. The andouille was exceedingly clean and well cooked. The chocolate cake is especially delicious. read more

Was underwhelmed by the food. The Brie appetizer was ok- salty and heavy fried chunks of Brie on browning lettuce. Stew main coarse was very good and hearty. Dessert - creme brûlée was the worst crime brûlée I've ever had. Virtually flavorless- couldn't detect any vanilla. Had melon sorbet on top, odd choice for creme brûlée. read more

A delightful little bistro in Avignon serving fresh, simple food. We went based on other Yelp reviews and cost and had a great dinner. I had the escargot appetizer, which was done perfectly. My fiance had the salad plate, which included some lovely quail and salad greens, and was also very good. My main was a grilled loupe (fish) served with mashed potatoes and some fresh veggies. The fish was grilled to perfection and the veggies were fresh and delicious. My fiance got the quenelle de brochet, which was outstanding. With a nice bottle of red, the whole dinner was about 100 Euros. Service was well-paced and the atmosphere was warm and intimate. Might be a challenge if you have no French, but well worth it. read more

Excellent food and experience. We have had opportunity to eat in Barcelona, Nice, Antibes, and Monaco prior to our first night in Avignon. The food was splendid and great value for the price. We ordered off the 18 Euro menu. The beef tartare was excellent. The entire meal included wonderful vegetables and salad. This complemented the tartare well. My wife ordered the fish de jour (salmon during our visit) and it was well cooked. We finished our meal with a strawberry sorbet and caramel ice cream with brioche french toast. Great ending to a great meal. Highly recommend this place. There were a lot of locals at the restaurant suggesting it is not just targeting tourists. read more

This is an unpretentious spot that is hidden in Avignon. The decor is simple and the waiter does not speak English. However, the food is delicious and the service attentive! We got a seafood stew, roasted duck and grilled fish - all fantastic! We also liked the dessert - creme butler and apricot crumble. It was our best meal in Avignon. read more

Delicious meal at an unexpected location. The atmosphere is unique, with neon lights, pig fixtures and other charismatic features but the food was delicious and reasonable. Recommend if in the area! read more

This meal was so good I had to review it as soon as I got back to our AirBNB. First off, its not in a particularly busy part of town so there were seats at 9pm during Festival d'Avignon. The meal sets are the way to go, paired with a bottle of wine, a party of 3 paid less than $90 euro. The escargo was heavenly, the steak a lesser cut but prepared with expertise, and the rum cake was delish. I had a bite (several bites) of the duck which was even better than my steak. The restaurant is named after the owner's stuffed blue pig which hangs behind the bar and the decor is wonderfully well thought out with curly cue endings on the silverware and ceramic piggies everywhere. In my two trips to France, and first trip to Provence this has so far been my best meal. There is a public parking garage within a 5 minute walking distance of the restaurant. read more

A great little pearl in the city of Avignon. The meal was very good. The whole lunch cost us only 14.50 euros per person: and we got large main dishes, glass of wine and dessert! The service was extraordinary: Great English, very quick and very cool atmosphere (nice and cozy). read more

Didn't quite meet our expectations, but it was still good! The food was good, just nothing outrageously memorable.

Good food. Good service. Escargot were excellent. Good value. Outside of the touristy areas but a close walk.

Great choice during our visit. No english was available during our lunch visit, but with my limited French and our spirit to try interesting things--we had an EXCELLENT meal. Jambon and Hot Cheese Box (poor translation) was a major hit for my new to being a food-explorer sister. I had the Sausage in Mustard Sauce--outstanding flavors! We will be back if we ever end up in Avignon again. read more

Especially enjoyed the 'salad' - which was foie gras, a roast quail, cured duck breast and lardons ... And a couple leaves of salad.

Great ambiance, good food. Stake was pan fried, can't compare to a good BBQ. But the rest was great, and the chocolate cake at the end is highly recommended. read more
