Description: This was our favorite restaurant in the week we spent in Avignon. The owner-hosts are as welcoming as if you were guests in their home. They speak fluent English, but the food and service are oh-so-French (a good thing). It seats only 18 people, so reservations are a must!
I started with a rich lobster bisque with generous pieces of lobster garnishing it, and my husband had a delicate mushroom and onion tarte. We both had roast squab, served with a fresh fig compote. Unlike most restaurants, which serve only half a squab per portion, here we got the whole bird. The cheeses were the among best quality we have found on our many trips. We'd come back for the cheese course alone! Desserts were displayed on a sideboard and we were strongly encouraged to try as many as we wished. After I had eaten my conservative two choices of raspberry tarte and tarte tatin, the host pressed a serving of flan on me for an encore. A truly lovely dining experience.
