Le Petit Chaudron - Avignon

Le Petit Chaudron is a bit off the beaten track but it's not much more than a couple of hundred metres outside the city walls. We were staying at the Novotel during the Festival so we welcomed the chance to try some interesting cuisine without having to brave the crowds in the city centre. We were not disappointed: the welcome was as warm as other reviews have mentioned and the food equally good.The evening menu was excellent value at €22, and both it and the fairly priced wine list concentrate on local produce as far as possible. We will certainly return on another visit to Avignon.

The seafood is delicious and mouth watering . Friendly staff and the food was freshest.I liked the trout with eggplant.

Just got back after having a phenomenal dinner and dessert here. The food was delicious, and the service was responsive. It very laid back. I had the pork filet, and my wife had the sea bass. Both were well prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted fabulous!!

Visited Saturday 10th June 2017. Le Petit Chaudron is just outside the walls behind the train station in a quiet residential location - definitely worth the short walk of less than five minutes from the station. We arrived somewhat late in the lunch service but received a warm welcome from the owners - both the front of house lady and the chef who came out of the kitchen to greet us. The three course set menu at 21 euros had plenty of choice as did the wine list - any bottle available by the glass or carafe at reasonable cost. The help yourself buffet as a starter had a lot of choice and was delicious as was our whole sea bass main course. The home made desserts were excellent. We were the last to leave after enjoying a long chat with the hard working owners. We will be returning to this little gem on our next visit later in the year.

I and my wife really enjoyed the adventurous and delicious food and the fact that it was in a residential area outside the walls. The couple that run it were very engaging and obliging. The wine list was extensive and inexpensive and available in glasses, carafes and full bottles. I had the rabbit stew which was succulent.
