We were staying at the Novotel during the Festival so we welcomed the chance to try some interesting cuisine without having to brave the crowds in the city centre. We were not disappointed: the welcome was as warm as other reviews have mentioned and the food equally good.The evening menu was excellent value at €22, and both it and the fairly priced wine list concentrate on local produce as far as possible. We will certainly return on another visit to Avignon.

I had the pork filet, and my wife had the sea bass. Both were well prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted fabulous!!

Le Petit Chaudron is just outside the walls behind the train station in a quiet residential location - definitely worth the short walk of less than five minutes from the station. We arrived somewhat late in the lunch service but received a warm welcome from the owners - both the front of house lady and the chef who came out of the kitchen to greet us. The three course set menu at 21 euros had plenty of choice as did the wine list - any bottle available by the glass or carafe at reasonable cost. The help yourself buffet as a starter had a lot of choice and was delicious as was our whole sea bass main course. The home made desserts were excellent. We were the last to leave after enjoying a long chat with the hard working owners. We will be returning to this little gem on our next visit later in the year.

The couple that run it were very engaging and obliging. The wine list was extensive and inexpensive and available in glasses, carafes and full bottles. I had the rabbit stew which was succulent.

An old-school restaurant with no menus besides what’s written on the wall. 21€ for three courses, and several good house wines to choose from. Make sure to try the chestnut cake for dessert!

Really good value and probably the best meal we’ve had in our week in France for not a lot of money (I think we had 3 courses for 22€ when we were there and he made a smaller 3 course meal for our kids for 15 each). You could tell he put some thought into the meals, even the salad was excellent. Bon apetit!

That would be a monumental mistake! Pascal, the amazing Chef behind this 'Gastronomical Bistro ', is an Avignon local and a champion of the local cuisine (quite literally, for instance, for aioli ask him). And while the place would deserve a more impressive location, and perhaps a tiny bit more work on the decor, his passion is obviously food and wine, and so on your memorable evening there, he will woo you with a know how and ability to execute that you 'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere in the city. The man is a legend! There 's plenty of parking space but do not drive there! Pascal knows his wines, and it would be a sin if anything kept you from following his lead on that topic. He will find the perfect pairing of the day 's specials (no menu here), and you 'll spend a night to remember with an Avignon original and a consummate french chef.

We were the only customers for the evening. But food was quite good, not Michelin star quality but tasty and reasonably priced. Place also has air conditioning, very essential during hot summer months. Chef/Owner was friendly. Wish he has more business otherwise don’t see how he can continue with such low volume of business.

Ultra friendly helpful staff, tasty and nicely presented food and good prices including an evening formule set menu price. Wines were good too. Recommended.
