Restaurant offering a refined and copious cuisine.
A true Avignon institution, La Fourchette is a sure bet. Tourists and locals alike are always happy to sit down. The welcome and service are exemplary, and the traditional French cuisine oscillates between gastronomic and bistro fare. On the menu: sliced duckling with curry, daube de boeuf à l'avignonnaise, Bresse poultry with foie gras sauce, Saint-Jacques with mango, ravioles de brousse or pieds paquets à la provençale. Wide choice of wines. Reservations highly recommended.

Je suis arrivée ce jour seule et sans réservation vers 12h30.
Le service est rapide et très qualitatif ! Ce qui fait plaisir car cela se perd de nos jours... Le cadre est très soigné.
Mises en bouche offertes et très bonnes ! La tapenade maison (excellente) est faites avec les olives entières, d'où les éclats de noyaux ET la citation sur le menu ;) ne soyez pas surpris.
Une viande excellente, très belle cuisson ! Une sauce au poivre délicieuse... avec 3 accompagnements différents dans l'assiette.
Une boule de sorbet maison à la pêche offerte...
Encore merci !
Ordered grilled aubergines with crushed tomatoes, Burgundy snails with butter, garlic, and herbs & calamari with caramelised cabbage as starters, followed by mains which we ordered Hake fillet with chorizo,
Avignon-style beef stew, Veal hanger steak with pepper sauce & Roasted Iberian presa with garlic confit. Everything is well seasoned but the highlight is the beef stew which the beef is so soft, slightly let down by the pork which part was undercooked and a bit raw pink.
The staff will attend the table with a whole list of desserts on the day for which we had a pistachio cheesecake, a lemon tart and a French Profiteroles with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce to pour over, which was our favourite of the night. No doubt our favourite restaurant in Avignon and booking in advance is recommended as the place got booked up quickly!
