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.
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.
