AVIGNON La Cuisine du Dimanche

Trip: Europe May 2022

La Cuisine du Dimanche was highly reviewed, with their specialty being market cuisine, using the freshest produce of the day.

They did not make it easy to book a reservation. Online booking was basically an email request with no ahead knowledge of what was available. A phone call went to voice mail. But our persistence paid off, because they were our favorite meal in South of France. A "must try" if you can get by the reservation difficulty.

Once we arrived, we understood why it was so hard to grab a table. They were a tiny little restaurant with perhaps 8 tables set up in a cute little alley. We were given the option of a "Chef Surprise" or A La Carte menu. The Chef Surprise was either a 4-course or 3-course meal. We chose one 4-course and one 3-course, in case they were all different and we would be able to share 7 different courses! In actuality, we ended up with the same 3 courses (appetizer, main, dessert) and the 4-course had one additional appetizer.

During our meal, a street performer came to play old French love songs on the accordion, and we made friends with the couple sitting next to us, making the experience so magical and romantic and amazing.
