Restaurant La Cour d'Honneur - Avignon

Everything about our lunch here was right! From outdoor table to service to excellent cuisine. We started with Provençal tomatoes with mozzarella and greens in Pesto followed by scallops for my spouse and salmon and spinach for me. Both Entrees came over Risotto. The little green olives are beautiful herby. Local wines through the glass and coffee added to the meal.

We ordered 3 courses. Entrance, main and dessert. I ate only minimally all three. They were clearly below average. I barely touched myself. When the waiter was clear, the plates didn't ask why? Hard to cut. Hard, boiled badly. Not divided. Not in demand. Not the duck or dessert. When leaving the manager and two other employees outside smoking. Service and passion for food and experience without interest.

Since we had not booked, we sat inside, which means under deck built around another tree and with doors open to the beautiful courtyard with trees. The service was slow when he was busy. The menu was limited. The food was presented on huge plates, very pretty, but insignificant. We ordered rum babas for dessert, who were huge, soaked in real rum and served with cream, so went satisfied.

You need to wait in line, there is always space, they just need to turn the tables faster. May be a lack of staff during peak season? Food was okay. Personally did not like the tataki de saumon (too thick piece slice). Service okay...too though cold. Come here for the calm and the ambiance.

I am absolutely astounded that this restaurant is currently ranked number 90 of Avignon restaurants !! We were visiting the delightful city of Avignon and called in at the restaurant quite late for lunch service the location is slightly off the main tourist area...but it is well worth the detour.The Cesar Salad was absolutely excellent and the general ambiance and service was excellent.it is very rare that we eat at the same restaurant when visiting a new city,however we made an exception in this case and booked for lunch the next day again absolutely superb and could not be faulted. As we were leaving we were chatting to our waitress and noticed the number of reservations for later that evening which were considerable. The prices are very reasonable the cafe gourmand was delightful and the service impeccable. Recommended.
