We had been to the dreaded Haribo Mueseum, and were looking for something less plastic for lunch. It was a terrible day, a downpour, and we spotted this place as we came into town. It looks like an old/converted coaching house, with exposed brick, high arches, lots of candles and a lovely feel to the place. There was a menu du jour for €13 with a choice of salads or charcuterie then a veal chop in a provençal sauce with rice and a choice of homemade desserts. The children had pizza, (which I suspect was from the local supermarket, but they didn't proclaim to be an authentic pizza joint). The guy in charge was a bit over stretched and was efficient if not friendly until we spoke some french a...
We randomly chose this place to have lunch and were impressed with the whole experience. The manager is a nice fella who served us immediately and tried to explain to us in English what was on the menu. Were new to France and have struggled a little with the menus. Im not sure of the correct names for the meals but i'll describe them as well as i can. My wife ordered and omelette style dish with chorizo and salad which was quite light and tasted very good.I ordered a baked cod gratin i think with salad. The bake was cooked perfectly and the salad dressed very well too. If we return to the area we will eat there again.The meal cost 28 euros with a coffee, and 3 soft drinks. Very well priced.
We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Le Grill. The food was simple, but tasty. I had a well composed salad with ham, blue cheese and walnuts followed by a gratin of Brandade de Morue. The service was friendly and the staff were accommodating to both us and our dog, finding us a table out of the way and bringing a bowl of water. I would happily eat there again.
We love the fixed price menu at Le Grill, it's simple food made well, three course lunch from Set A 12€90, a salad, main, desert.We liked the Assiette De Charcuterie (sliced salami)salad, followed by a lasagne, then a Crépe Au Secre. Bread basket.1/2ltr of Vin de table rouge.All in all a cheap and tasty lunch. We like it there.

We were tired and it was getting late, nearly the end of lunchtime, and we nearly walked past. We should have. They committed sin #1 in French restaurants: stale bread. It didn't get any better with the rest of the meal. The decor was pleasant, but we saw a lot of other places that looked better, closer to the town centre.
We ate at this café for lunch and sat outside at the sidewalk tables. It is a very busy location, but that made things interesting, always something to look at and we watched the world go by! The service was a little slow, but the food was fine with plenty of choice. Worth a visit.
It was raining so we did not want to be trudging around the streets. In any other country, this would rate "very good", but it is barely average by French standards. Way too much salt. Mediocre frites. Good cheap wine.
Avoid this place! Food is tasteless, on top of that they manage to rip people of with water charging $6.50 a bottle.

Arrived in Avignon on a rainy Sunday evening in spring, after several days of amazing food in Paris.
Had dinner here tonight with my husband during our second night in Avignon.
