Le Goût du Jour sur Avignon

We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and, as it was too hot, we went in, but the waiter refused to offer us drinks while we waited, saying he was busy with other tables, and made us wait. Disrespectful and disappointing.

One of the highlights of my 2026. And I certainly wasn't expecting such a wonderful evening. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide but doesn't yet have a star at the time of writing, which it easily deserves. What a lovely evening I had here! First of all, thank you to the chef who presented each dish with such passion. What a delight the current menu was! The wine pairing was excellent, and if you choose it, trust the sommelier completely; let him select the wines without hesitation. You'll be pleasantly surprised. I made some wonderful discoveries tonight. Here is my menu for tonight: STARTER Mediterranean cuttlefish Almond milk - Snow peas - Chili green oil FISH Mathieu Chapel's mackerel from Côté Fish Green beans - Nectarine - Samphire MEAT Camargue AOP bull Black rice - Tomato - Gravlax CHEF'S SUGGESTION Roasted lobster Macaroni gratin - Sweet onion - Bisque CHEESE Julien Chazal's cheese selection DESSERT Provence apricot Fermented milk - Buckwheat - Marigold passion fruit If I had to rank the dishes, which is very difficult, the mackerel would come first, followed by the lobster, the apricot dessert, and the bull. But frankly, ranking them wasn't easy tonight. What beautiful dishes, what wonderful flavors! Several dishes were presented on multiple plates that were similar but not quite the same. Discovered this restaurant thanks to the festival tonight, and as much as I've made a wonderful discovery with this festival this year (2026), I will definitely be back next year to this lovely restaurant. I hope to have the same two people, chef and sommelier/waiter, serving me. Thank you!

It's so delicious! Amazing! Eat it!

We celebrated my wife’s birthday here with a fully vegan multi-course tasting menu, and it was unforgettable. Le Goût du Jour isn’t a vegan restaurant, but they accommodated our dietary needs beautifully — every course was thoughtfully composed, with bold flavors and presentation on par with any fine dining experience. It’s genuinely special to find a highly rated fine dining kitchen willing to build a full vegan menu rather than just modifying a dish or two. The service matched the food: warm, attentive, and clearly invested in making the evening memorable. Highly recommend, especially for vegan or plant-based travelers looking for a true fine dining experience in Avignon.

Superb experience, delicious cuisine and attentive staff

A wonderful discovery. The cuisine was surprising and very refined. The service was cordial and absolutely impeccable. Best of luck and continued success to Le Goût du Jour!

This was the best meal we’ve had during our 2 1/2 weeks in France. Every bite of every course was an explosion of flavors and full of interesting textures. For our starter, we chose the Perfect Egg and it was delicious. We both had the lobster and it was delicate yet rich at the same time. The atmosphere was elegant, but not snobby at all.

Tomato cold soup with basil smoothie, absolutely delicious!

An exceptional dinner that rivals any Michelin-starred restaurant. The chef provided us with an experience that was both refined and indulgent. The flavors were perfectly balanced, rich, and truly incredible. We will definitely be back.

A place to remember! We enjoyed an excellent meal in a pleasant setting. We were lucky enough to chat with the chef during our meal. We'll definitely be back!
