    An odd place were very different populations meet to danse before going clubbing. The atmosphere is quite tacky. The waiter was incredibly nice. The tapas were simply not good.

    We came for lunch, the staff were pleasant and the location beautiful, but after waiting for over an hour for an, albeit delicious basil ravioli, I can say we did NOT leave satisfied. Luckily we did get free drinks for the trouble. If you do choose to eat here, I recommend the ravioli.

    Great place, great music, fast service and great staff. One of the only LGBTQ+ bar of Avignon. Try to make a reservation if you want to sit as the place gets crowded quite quickly.

    Great restaurant. One of the best meals we had in Avignon. Good value and excellent, friendly service. Hoping to go back to Avignon next year, and will definitely revisit The Lotus.

    After September, apparently, they only serve tapas. No meals. And, note, all tapas = breaded and fried... fried chicken peglegs (pigeon?), fried rings (no idea of what), fried cheese, fried samosas (not sure ingredients), fried jalapeños. We got mini charcuterie with the tapas... too much for two. Music was loud middle-eastern. Staff willing to work through language barrier. So, not really any french cuisine or semblance, as Google indicated.

    We had the Italian salad and the Caesar salad, both of which were very delicious and more than enough. Considering the prices in Avignon during the July Festival, €15 for a large salad bowl wasn’t too outrageous. Very friendly staff as well! Highly recommend.

    I had the warm goats cheese salad and a glass of white wine, it was amazing the goats cheese was delicious and the chef pointed out that he includes uncooked goats cheese as well as the cooked (which was toasted on thin slices of fried bread) Perfectly seasoned, and the wine complemented it. Good service and great food.

    So happy we found this restaurant. Food was amazing and they did a three course set meal for €33. Wine was average price and it was slightly less touristy than the centre of town. Borderline haute cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Paul V. 7 years ago on Google
    Great food and excellent service in a slightly less touristy part of town. Salmon starter highly recommended. Rough price for three courses with wine for two people, €100.00.

    Lovely cafe restaurant in a quieter part of the city. Food is fresh and delicious, Our meal was well priced too. Note, they only do Carafes of wine at lunchtime.

    Worm in salad and ravioli looked like it'd been taken out of the fridge. Burger was as could be expected. Would only go here for drinks.
