The best bars and cafés Vaucluse

Located in the pedestrian intramuros, this place makes you want to go inside, first with its terrace, then inside with its animal decoration. Yes, all the armchairs are leopard! Finally an address in Avignon where you can enjoy a delicious bubble tea. With different flavors, with or without milk, it is a little known Asian drink here in France. You will be pleasantly surprised by the consistency of the tapioca beads at the bottom of your glass. This coffee-shop is also appreciated for its gourmet range of hot chocolates and cappuccinos.

Café Bleu looks like a village bistro and it's nice to find it around some of the maps. There are plenty of opportunities for dining there: one evening a month, it's karaoke, concerts, lotto, bowls contests that are alternating with musical animations in summer and games are broadcast live on a large screen. On the terraces, on the street side, on the other side of the garden, you enjoy taking the cost. For dining, small dishes and barbecue. A night market animates the 3rd Friday of the month every summer (May-end of August), where you can find local wineries, beekeepers and craftsmen. 

The nice stopover that we offer you for a five o clock in a quiet place, far from the tourist turmoil, is at Alice et ses Merveilles, a few steps away from the church of Saint Didier in the heart of Avignon. After the lunch service, Stéphanie offers you a varied tea menu, hot or iced teas in summer, smoothies, pressed juices and milkshakes with homemade pastries or homemade ice creams. In the very cosy setting on the first floor, you can sit comfortably on a sofa at table height, your back well supported by soft cushions. Perfect to meet between girls, friends or mother and daughter(s)

It's the meeting point for Avignon high school students after school. The concept: an atmosphere and products inspired by New York. You can nibble on cheesecake, pancakes, bagels, donuts and other muffins all made on the spot. For drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, hazelnut or caramel lattes, milkshakes, iced tea, chocolates and flavored coffees, a variety of syrups including a very sweet specula. And the little detail that appeals to young people: they are given a beeper that rings when the order is ready. As soon as it rings, it is served!

The junk shop spirit isn't really there anymore... It's the rugby spirit that has replaced it, or rather that of the RCT - Club de Toulon for the uninitiated. The very sunny terrace attracts a good number of onlookers who come to read a newspaper, have a drink, stroll around large wrought iron tables. Many of the regulars have made it their favourite spot and on some days it is a bit difficult to find a place to drink a coffee. Traditional cuisine with fresh and seasonal products, but also foot packets or sauerkraut depending on the season.

As you enter this salon, you are drawn in by the delicate scent of freshly roasted coffee and the smell of subtly scented teas. Let yourself be tempted by the home-made pies. What happiness! Very warm welcome. A very professional team that listens to you and takes pleasure in advising you. The shop offers a wide variety of teas and coffees, as well as a large choice of tea and coffee sets. You will have understood, we like to meet with friends at P'tit-grain, especially on Saturday morning, market day.

It is very close to the Place de l'Horloge (the most touristic of the city) amidst a very pedestrian street and its large sunny terrace is always crowded in summer. It is frequented by regulars. During the festival, it is a rather strategic place to see the Off troops parading and to get tickets for the shows. The rest of the time is a happy blend of high school students who eat from the eyes, the setting while swallowing a croque-monsieur on the go... Inside, you can take a salad or grilled meat, when the weather is bad.

Inside Les Halles, it's an epicurean counter where the shopkeepers of the halles, the regulars, mix, there's really a beautiful energy every time. The mistress of the place is very welcoming with her smile and her kindness. We go there to have an aperitif with our friends. We share one, two and three bottles and we finish a little further away as soon as the end titillates us around a seafood platter. "The place to be" is the place to be for the Avignonnais on Sunday morning! You can read the local press there and remake the world.

The dedication to the Avignon Festival has obviously not escaped you! The room is contemporary and cosy, with a lounge atmosphere. The main attraction is the huge terrace facing the Palais des Papes, where you can sip a glass or a coffee, absorbed in contemplation. During the festival, of course, the place is packed and the waiters are at their wits' end. Plan ahead if you're going to see a play. Especially when the establishment invites artists to liven up the evening. You can ask for Wifi too.

This is the meeting place for the people from Avignon who come here to have their little aperitif. You can't miss this establishment on the Place des Corps-Saints, with its burgundy façade, its candy-pink neon lights and its rustic interior typical of small neighbourhood bars. Les Célestins also has a large terrace around the fountain of the square, ideal for sunbathing. But beware, it can quickly get crowded when summer arrives! Sandwiches, salads, hot-dogs and waffles are provided in case you get hungry. A dynamic service.

Treat yourself to a chic afternoon tea at the Hôtel d'Europe, just as you would in a Parisian palace. Enjoy the art of French tea in a setting that's warm, cozy and luxurious without being ostentatious. L'Heure des Thés feels like a friendly home, with white tablecloths, fine porcelain cups and superb silverware. The service is smiling and Sophie's pastries succulent.

It's a wine bar that exudes joie de vivre! In fact, it's the little brother of the excellent restaurant l'Oustalet. Le Bistrot's seasonal menu is much more casual, but just as well prepared with quality ingredients. We come here to take advantage of the cellar, which offers some very fine discoveries in the surrounding areas, but not only. There are also a few references from the rest of France and the world. With its warm welcome, this is a place we highly recommend!

The Pipeline is a beer bar offering a unique experience.

The bar also offers a convivial atmosphere, with cosy sofas for relaxing after work, and concert evenings to enjoy the sound of guitars.
