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 :)
