Avignon - Food & Drink

Enjoy the freshest in Provençal cuisine, taste the world, or indulge in a culinary affair to remember.

Prime: Centre

Splash out at gastronomic restaurants between Place de Crillon and Place du Palais, in the shadow of the palace walls. Several outstanding choices offer views of the palace. Sniff out your favourite brasserie on and around the good-natured Place de l'Horloge.

Convivial: Rue des Teinturiers

Among the theatres of the historic quartier des Teinturiers , due east of old Avignon's centre, are several neighbourhood brasseries distinguished by their sense of laidback style and conviviality.

Dining Tips

In France, tipping isn't de rigueur, but a small tip won't go amiss. Unusually in this nation of proud carnivores, many of Avignon's restaurants serve interesting and gastronomically complex dishes for vegetarians.
