Nothing I could have done here but I do have to say they are pretty gnarly looking. Our table neighbors were also very friendly and kind. It was very cool that they spoke fluent English. Beef carpaccio (4/5): definitely an acquired taste and may not be for everyone. The flavor is light and went well with the Parmesan cheese. Initially I was a bit worried about the raw beef but I think it's fine. Be aware that there was quite a bit of sand in the salad. Overall Le 26 is a good place for some food. Service takes a while though.

Of course, the air conditioning was a big plus during the heat wave but the food and service would have been worth sitting outside.

We went to Bistro Balthazar on the recommendation of the woman renting us an apartment in Avignon…read more We were not disappointed. We found the food excellent, prices reasonable, and the service good (although with two waiters and more than 16 tables, it can be a bit leisurely--but that is the way the French eat dinner anyway). My wife started with escargot, which were large and served with excellent garlic butter (just the right amount of garlic for us) and baguette. I started with the asparagus - cooked but served cold and just a bit crunchy, with mounds of shaved Parmesan and a few sun-dried tomatoes, drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Both were wonderful. We both had the lamb shank, and were impressed. The lamb was cooked to perfect tenderness, and the red wine reduction had layers of flavor that we both enjoyed. Add to that beautiful side dishes (each main course comes with one side) of mesclun salad or crudités (but shaved in a salad, not whole as we expected) and an eminently drinkable house wine (Cuvée Balthazar) at €17 for a 750 ml bottle, and a beautiful warm evening, and the night was completely enjoyable. Our host was spot on.

It is a prefix menu, we chose the 4-course and it was very much enough food. I do want to go back and try the 6-course meal, just out of curiosity. I love how you get a taste of each, and how Pauline asks if you have any allergies or if there's something you prefer before your meal is being made. We loved every single course -- they were all presented very artistically, and the colors and flavors made it a true experience. I strongly recommend people not to miss out!

Our server was very relaxed and she talked slowly and was very understandable. It was very nice and accommodating that there was an English translation for the food menu. Pan fried chicken breast (5/5): magnificent! Generally not a big fan of pesto but I don't know what magic was put to make the dish so flavorful and delicious. The mashed potatoes had an awesome texture. The chunks of potatoes were a nice touch and offered good diversity texture wise. Tuna capaccio (5/5): wow was this an amazing start. The flavor was balanced very well. The balsamic complimented the oil well. Pan fried tiger prawns (4/5): quite delicious. The cream sauce was very well done. Creamy and not overwhelming in flavor. Simply perfect! Chocolate creme brulée (5/5): the perfect way to end the night. Just be advised that the flavor was very strong and sweet. The hard carmelized sugar layer on top was so beautiful that I almost didn't want to break it. The custard was so creamy. Our time here did not feel rushed whatsoever. I had a very pleasant dining experience. Tap to pay is accepted here. Overall, Fou de Fafa is a great place for some fine dining. The menu items are selected well and have a good variety. The food was delicious and the server was so patient and kind. Highly recommended. This place gets an A from me!

They only offer certain dishes of the day with a 22€ set of three courses. The guy was very nice to explain to me in English what their courses of the day were. They offered two choices for appetizer, four for entree and four for dessert. I also added a glass of wine that he recommended. The appetizer was very tasty and served quickly. Then I had tripes with meat and pepper fillings and lamb feet in tomato sauce for entree. Very delicious. However, the lamb feet skin was covered in tiny hairs that weren't cleaned. I asked him about the hair and he simply responded "it's lamb feet" so I suppose that's the way it should be? The dessert was raspberry with cream on top. Although it's taken from the fridge, they still gave it a nice plating. In general a good meal. Maybe next time I'll still visit.
