Le Moutardier Du Pape - Avignon

Went in for coffee at 11.45am. Waiter was extremely rude when I asked for two coffees. “No... too busy” was his reply. Pretty sure a place that advertises as Cafe should sell coffee. We accepted and walked out and I am now completing this review. Pretentious place anyway.

We ate outside, in the main square by the Pope's Palace. It was a lovely warm evening. The view was spectacular. The sound of a busker gently playing guitar could be heard in the background. We enjoyed our food and wine. The service was relatively pretty good.

Needed a break from the relentless Provence sun at midday. Normally we would wonder around and skip the most obvious touristic places; but this looked nice on the place Palais des Papes. We had Truffle Penne and the Plate du jour which was chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. Easy, simple, delicious. Not too expensive; although not extremely cheap.

Ignore the so called bad reviews and go to this restaurant. Our server Christoph was the best! Lovely conversation with him, he was knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to explain to us so that we ordered just the right things. The food was amazing. My husband had the set menu (yummy curried soup, lamb and then the chocolate dessert). I had the beef along with the chocolate cake for dessert. A find for sure and the view of the Palais des Pape is great as you are in the square below it (although we are inside).

Horrible. The eldest waiter was so rude. He literally treated us like we were stupid just because we did not speak French and despite asking and trying our best to be understood (we’re Italians, but can speak proper English) he kept speaking French very fast. The rudest, most arrogant, negative waiter ever met. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There’s many more around Avignon, don’t be fooled. Paying 2,50€ for an espresso is already ridiculous, but doing so while a waiter makes fun of you is a bit too much.
