Avenio

This restaurant is highly rated on TripAdvisor and has a Michelin pre-star rating. I have no real complaints except that the food didn't live up to my expectations. The tuna and pâté starter used what was in my opinion poor quality tuna that was very grisly. I ordered the shrimp main course which tasted fine covered with a thin doughy phyllo/strudel, but it was only lukewarm when it was served. The brown bread did not taste as fresh as I've had in other restaurants in the past few days. I did enjoy one of their sweet wines. And the prices were not outrageous. My wife insists that I report that her meal was good. And I confess the mango coconut coulis for dessert was tasty.

But to be perfectly frank, I would not choose to return again.

We did not have reservation, but we arrived early. The food was excellent and the service perfect. The prices are very accesibles . I recommend 100%.

Okay food.
Had the truffle risotto. Was told a truffle risotto with some chorizo on the top. Came with zucchini, peas and corn. I don't eat corn. Not ideal when you might have an allergy or aversion.
The eggplant starter was okay too. No identifiable flavours and everything pretty mushy other than the prosciutto.
One credit was that it was all seasoned well.
The wine was delightful.

Ultimately wasn't impressed with anything they did. The octopus was ok but luke warm . . . Like, is it supposed to be cold or hot? I literally almost choked on the chuck steak so definitely don't order that. There's barely audible music, strangely intense lighting and just awful decor. There's a painting of Beavis and butthead. Really not sure how this made it into the guide.

Excellent, excellent experience! On our first night in Avignon we managed to stumble upon this beautiful restaurant and to our luck we even managed to get a table here. The food was exquisite! From the wine selection, to the dessert and the flavourful entree and main - everything here was perfect. Lovely, courteous staff! Thank you!

Highly recommend well executed and affordable 3 course meal. Choose the Avenio menu with incredible foie gras, scallops and st marcelin cheese for dessert. Fantastic !

There are 2 choices of menus. 3 courses for 39 or 49 Euros. The food quality is excellent and a good choice of wines which are priced fairly as well as the degistif and aperitifs. The service was very good but a bit slow
