Au Jardin Des Carmes

What a little gem, we happened to pass and stopped in for dinner and we were So happy to have had an incredible meal. Great friendly service also speaking English. We highly recommend this place for authentic, tasteful and well presented food that will make you feel like your in your moms kitchen (my mom was a great cook)

My wife and shared fois gras starter which was very tasty with fresh baguette, olives and a good local white wine. She had duck breast with a vegetable medley in a tasty sauce - but the sauce drown the flavours of the vegetables; as well the duck breast was a little bit tough. My main course was John Dory fish bolognaise with chopped medley of vegetables. The fish was prepared well the sauce was ok/good but again I too found the chopped vegetables lacked identity on the plate and did not enhance the dish. The atmosphere in the courtyard seating was very nice - quiet, comfortable and rustic stone walls of surrounding buildings. The white wine was very nice.

We had a delightful experience, easily the best food we had in France during our family road trip. It clearly seemed like a family run place (a well run one at that). All the food tasted very fresh and bright, you can tell that they know how to pair flavors. And the wine recommendation was the cherry on top. Please come here if you want to avoid the tourist trap restaurants and want Provence cuisine with a modern twist.

AVERAGE at best. the beef was chewy, the risotto overly salty and the starters were average at best - flavourless mostly. it’s a shame as we came here because of the good reviews but it was pretty poor considering the price! would not recommend

Certified member of the clean plate club. The waiter was very nice, and did his best with a little English, but then the chef came out from the kitchen to take our order. Her food was all unbelievably amazing, my wife especially complimented the duck as both crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. Not sure why they don't have a Michelin recommendation anymore, but they certainly earned it for the years they had it.

We got into Avignon late on Easter Sunday. I checked reviews and Menus and decided on this place. Luckily, it was one of the only open restaurants that evening. The food was nicely prepared and excellent. It was a great find and highly recommended.

Unbelievable risotto! The restaurant is situated in a private garden space. The food was pretty delicious, apart from an appetizer dish that shouldn’t have had popcorn on it. That being said, as mentioned before the risotto was top class. Would come back for just that.

Nice, quiet and upscale in Avignon. 3 course meal, light but delish. The garden is so relaxing you will feel the french experience.

Dinner tonight was wonderful. Service was friendly and at the right pace. Food was the best I've had in Avignon. Nice quiet garden. Recommendations were spot on.
