    Menu is almost exclusively meat dishes. There are no healthy options. Also, it's a bit on the expensive side for what you get. Staff was friendly and welcoming though.

    Brilliant little restaurant which you need to book ahead. We were in Avignon and found this place, which was soooo good we're making the 2.5 hour trip back again next month. Food was delicious and the full menu is very reasonably priced given the excellent quality of the very generous dishes. Can't recommend this place enough. If you like offal, the 'Rognon de veau' was the best I've had.

    Local style French restaurant with plenty of traditional French options. I had the chicken sweetbread vol au vent and kidney in mustard sauce for example. My companion had the house burger, which he felt was too dry and was not impressed with. But nice local atmosphere and was busy with French rather than tourists, and good cheap local red wine, so overall would recommend. No English spoken.

    Great small French restaurant, with delicious food. Don’t forget to try their French hot dogs it’s something special. And of course leave some space for dessert.Definitely highly recommend this place.

    We booked having checked the menu out earlier in the day. We were not disappointed - a friendly welcome, a small but tempting menu - we had an itch for good, classic French dining and we got it! The veal kidney in mustard sauce was delicious. Amazing frogs legs and the tarte tatin was delicious. Lots of local wines to choose from. The staff were lovely. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommended!

    Food is just amazing: tartare was great, French fries like you have never tasted, meat was delicious. And cheese for dessert is something quite impressive for an Italian. Service was ok and the place is very nice.

    While the food was definitely french style burgers it did not fit my preference. I would grill up burgers at my barbeque 10/10 times instead

    One of the best burgers I've ever had. Service is great and the place has a wonderful summer atmosphere.

    If you are in Avignon you must try and visit La Cuisine de Papa. The food is excellent, and they are so friendly and welcoming. It also feels a bit more authentic than some of the more tourist focussed places. We certainly loved it! Btw, thank you to the restaurant for safely keeping a bag full of kids electronics that we accidentally left behind. Definitely worth the 5 start rating!

    I was keen to try some traditional french food since Avignon was full of kebabs, tacos, pizza or pasta. I was tired as heck and I chose well my only day to go and eat here. I got there with 4 friends, we saw a table of 4, we saw an extra chair on the terrace, we grabbed it, we sat. The owner went from 0 to 100 instantly, said the table was reserved. We asked about another empty table, said it eas free but just for 4, not 5. We left. A pitty, the menu looked amazing but the attitude was just sad.

    Exactly, one star is still too much. We did a reservation and came with our dog (Border Collie). The only desk we have been offered was the bistro table direct by the door at the entrance with no space for none of us three. The restaurant was empty (we came direct at 7pm) and no other desk was allowed to us. I can't judge the food, but how many stars I should give to a restaurant with this warm welcome???

    Started well with the drinks but it went downhill from there. Frog legs were completely unsalted. The beef steak was burnt on the outside and rare on the inside. Service staff said that their beef is done on the grill hence it was that way but I have eaten enough beef to know that it is burnt and bitter. It was begrudgingly exchanged to another slice which was not burnt but tasteless and no sauce was given. Cod fish burger was ok but by then the damage is done. Will not recommend this place at all.

    Bad food - steak served was burnt and bitter. Waiter tried to say that’s the way steak is cooked because of the grill. I’ve had grilled steak before many times and it doesn’t taste like that. They changed the steak but it was still tasteless, but at least it’s not burnt.

    Beyond delicious. Excellent service & DELICIOUS food. Had a fish burger & traditional burger - may be the best we’ve has in Europe. Worth the visit!!!

  • 5/5 X X. 1 year ago on Google
    Our french was bad and the menu list was translated in "a special way" but: due to one of the friendly, helpful guys there we got a great meal and we left fully satisfied. Thank you, staff of Papa cuisine, I hope, one day you'll serve Francisco! :-)

    Delicious hot dog with tasty fries at the side! Friendly service!

  • 3/5 Ruby K. 1 year ago on Google
    The waiters spoke good English and the restaurant looked very nice but unfortunately the Hot Dog was too salty and the steak was decent

  • 4/5 Luis Müller-Rehaag R. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent France restaurant. One Waitress can speak english. But you can only eat menu.

    Lovely cognac with home cook awesome tasting fresh food .. I had the Beef Tartar and my girlfriend had the fish .. both of us walked out full .. high and feeling really good about the entire experience!

  • 5/5 Fdriaskiy E. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent meal, generous portions. We had the cod for main which was plentiful and cooked delightfully. We had the restaurants own wine which was great. Lovely atmosphere and surroundings. Would definitely recommend but you must book, we saw many people turned away.

    Love on a plate! L’amour et la passion pour les produits sur l’assiète. We had a two course meal and shared the dessert, my steak was perfectly cooked: bleu chaud. ( it’s a mortal sin to eat a steak à point ;-) ) This is by far one of the best restaurants we visited, and yes we’re star chasers.

  • 5/5 James W. 8 months ago on Google
    Incredible burger (Le frangin Jacquot). The explosion of flavours is amazing. Service also first class.

  • 5/5 Anthony G. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice food at a good price. Service was a slight bit relaxed but nothing major

  • 2/5 Achim S. 2 years ago on Google
    Entrée was fine (Ceviche) but the main dish (lamb) was served almost cold unfortunately. Also it did not have much taste and flavours to it. Mashed potatoes were bland as well, the salad however was very sour for our taste. We wouldn't come back again after this experience.

    Very welcoming and tolerant of my poor French. Food was hearty and delicious as well as reasonably priced. A lovely atmosphere in this small restaurant and highly recommended.
