Le Goût du Jour
Avignon
21/07/2026: I would not recommend this restaurant. As soon as we arrived, the waiter had an attitude towards us (maybe bc we're american? maybe bc we had a 5 year old in tow which they assured us over the phone would be fine??). We had looked at the website online but didn't realize it was a prix fixe (this was 100% our mistake, maybe a language barrier?) and the menu example we saw online showed a lot more options. On the night we were there, they had ONE option for starter, for meal they had one fish, one meat, or one vegetarian option. This is not what we had in mind at all. We explained the situation to our waiter and he said he would charge us 150 euro if we wanted to leave. I completely understand this policy for no-shows bc restaurants need to fill their tables to make money. This was a genuine misunderstanding (there was another whole issue with their reservation system that I won't get into....). The waiter was so condescending in the way he repeatedly told us their policies. I then caught him sending back our first course (a 'surprise' appetizer spread from the chef that I saw other tables getting), telling the server that we wouldnt be eating that (he didn't know I understand some French). I told him that was flat out rude. If we were stuck paying for this experience, we should atleast get the full experience....
Now. I expected after all of that well OK at least the food should be good. But it wasn't??? The best thing we ate by far was the 'surprise' appetizers that he eventually did bring out. The entrees were so underwhelming. Part of the dessert was literally a strawberry in a bowl (Im sure something fancy had been done to it but it tasted... like a strawberry).
I will say I appreciated that they hurried the meal along (because we had a 5 year old with us, we couldn't sit there for hours) and I also appreciated the fact that they had a kids meal. That being said, perhaps the fact that they have a kids meal is what made is think this establishment might be something that its not.
Incredibly disappointing experience overall.
19/07/2026: 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!
