La Fourchette sur Avignon

Calm atmosphere. Truly excellent cuisine. Refined, superb ingredients. Go without hesitation. Thank you Chef and thank you to the team.

It was a classic place where you could really feel French dining culture! I heard it was popular, so I went about 5 minutes early after looking around nearby. There were already two groups waiting, and as soon as I sat down, several more groups came in, so it filled up quickly. I had the full course meal. It was definitely different from the Paris or Dijon style beef stew. I tried the velouté that a French friend recommended; it had a unique flavor and was served warm. (It tasted a bit like a mix of curry, pumpkin, and butter.) The food was delicious, and I liked that they served various kinds of bread and replaced the forks, spoons, and knives with every dish. Although it was tasty, everything was incredibly salty, and the dessert was a cake with a lot of rum in it, so the flavors were generally strong. The bread was delicious, so it was fine if you ate it together. It was fun that the male owner? said "Thank you" in Korean both when I took my order and when I left😆

Although we had already enjoyed several excellent meals during our recent stay in France, this one truly stood out. We decided rather late to dine at "La Fourchette" and were only able to get a table at 9 pm. Once there, it quickly became apparent that the experience was well worth the wait. The service was both warm and efficient; after ordering a good local wine, we quickly got down to business. I opted for the tuna tataki with pineapple, while my companion chose the Burgundy snails with garlic butter, parsley, and herbs. For our main course, we had the grilled prawns with their tangy sauce: another excellent choice. The portions were generous, and we were ultimately glad we hadn't ordered the "chef's small fried fish," which, as we could see from the neighboring table, was far from "small"! Given the high quality of the food served, we found the value for money absolutely excellent. If you want to enjoy a quality meal at a very reasonable price, this is the perfect place!

Might be the best duck dish I've ever tasted. Seasonal special and highly recommend.

Excellent service Delicious food (beef stew)

An Avignon institution. To miss La Fourchette is to miss out on a visit to Avignon. Traditional dishes: Provençal beef stew, kidneys in Madeira sauce or with whole-grain mustard. EVERYTHING is homemade, from the parmesan shortbread appetizers to the pastries. A well-stocked wine list. And of course, friendly and efficient service.

Excellent food, wine and service. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine we had was spectacular.

Absolutely amazing dinner from start to finish! The food, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. We started with the Burgundy escargots in garlic butter and herbs, and they were incredible—rich, buttery, garlicky, and exactly what you hope for when ordering escargot in France. For my main course, I had the Avignon-style beef daube, and it was fantastic. The beef was incredibly tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—one of those dishes that feels like true Provençal comfort food. The service was warm and attentive, the atmosphere was charming, and the wine was wonderful. Everything about our evening at La Fourchette was memorable. One of our favorite meals of the trip and absolutely a restaurant we would return to when we’re back in Avignon. Highly recommend!

We had dinner here and it was phenomenal!! Probably some of the best food we have ever eaten. My husband had the beef and I had the veal and we shared the escargot. The meat was so succulent, rich and full of flavor! The staff were very kind and professional. Highly recommend!!

This is a popular restaurant, I was glad I made reservation online. Both food and service were excellent.
