The food was absolutely amazing - some of the best we’ve ever had in France! Nothing was too much trouble for the front of house waitress - who went out of her way to make sure our children got their food exactly how they liked it. A warm welcome and service that made us feel totally spoilt! I would highly recommend this restaurant. They were fully booked on a Tuesday night and turning away people at the door as they were so in demand, so book in advance!

Exceptional meal and super service. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife team; he’s in the kitchen, she’s front of house. We emailed on the day to book a table for 8pm and received a prompt reply. We sat outside at a table on the pavement, which was a great way to watch the world go by. The food and wine was superb with a special mention for the strawberry cheesecake, which my wife said was the best she’d ever tasted. Sue had the roast mackerel fillet and pork & chorizo. I had the salmon mouse, duck breast and finished off with cheeses. The service was very engaging and she was always magically there when she was needed. The restaurant is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm and for Sunday lunch from midday

The last time that we dined here was four years ago, during the summer of 2017. The British lady who runs this restaurant, apparently together with her partner (the chef), could keep everything going smoothly, all by herself, even stopping for a chitchat with her customers, now and then. Good food and wine in a quite intimate atmosphere (inside) with a few tables outside as well. We hope to return here one day in the near future. Bonjour!.🌻🌻

I had a wonderful dinner at Fou de Fafa on a Saturday night. Booking via email was super easy and I’m glad I did when I saw Antonia having to turn away walk-in guests since the restaurant was fully booked. 3-plats menu at a good price. Food presentation is so pleasant to look at, smell nice and taste great. The fish of the day main dish is SUPERB and I don’t even like fish. Antonia offers a wonderful service. Her voice is so soft and soothing and she speaks perfect English. I highly recommend Fou de Fafa for your Avignon trip and definitely email/call them to book a table in advance.

One of our best meals in Avignon. And Antonia is one of the funniest and most gracious host/server/waitress/bartender & possibly co-proprietors I’ve encountered. Reservations are highly recommended and easily made by email. From the moment we walked in we felt so welcomed. She did a wonderful job with her wine 🍷 and pairing recommendations. The lavender liqueur was very unique/hints of anise & definitely lavender. My husband said his main course the mushroom risotto the best he’s ever had and my Iberian pork was a quintessential taste of autumn 🍂 I’m not sure how she ran the dining room so well as it was just her but you never felt rush despite it filling up. If you have a chance, it’s a must try in Avignon. Merci Beaucoup Restaurant Fou de Fafa for a wonderful evening and remembering to email me a picture of the Lavender Liqueur.

We never miss this small, highly personalized restaurant when we are in Avignon - and usually manage a second night as well. The service and the food are quite consistently excellent and represent good value. The menu is fairly brief to ensure quality, but sufficiently varied to permit a range of choices (meat, fish, vegetarian, etc.) The three course menu is a wise choice as you will regret missing something when it shows up on someone else’s plate! The wine list, similarly, is not long, but quite sufficient and also represents good value. It is important to make reservations as there not too many tables and they are prized.

My wife and I had dinner on aSaturday evening and the experience was perfect. All of the food served was of very good quality and reasonably priced. The owner/hostess was very helpful and keen to please her diners. Although she could clearly speak excellent English she was patient with us when we tried conversing in our rusty French. Highly recommended

A lovely small restaurant just a few steps from the main street of Avignon. The service was attentive without being intrusive, a lovely lady host informed us on each course and the wine selection. The food was excellent and could not be faulted. Both my husband and I had the tuna carpaccio starter followed by the delicious chicken dish, finished off by chocolate crème brûlée. All absolutely fabulous. This is a popular restaurant and rightly so. It was fully booked when we visited but my husband had booked ahead of our trip to France. I suggest you do the same.

Friendly host, warm welcome! The food is delicious. The menu offers fresh dishes for lovers of fish, meat or veggies. Every dish can be accompanied by a lovely local wine. If you want to make sure to have a seat, make a reservation or come just before the resto opens.

We booked the table online and were lucky to obtain our table as requested outside. The hostess who looked after us has a wonderful manner that was so attentive but never intrusive, a little like a fairy godmother, she made the occasion feel extra special. The food tasted delicious and was presented beautifully. We were in Avignon for 5 nights and it was by far the best meal we had. If the menu had been a little larger we definitely would have returned more than once. Thankyou for a lovely evening.

I chanced upon this small restaurant as I walked the streets of Avignon. A single diner, I was warmly welcomed by the owner who also doubles up as the waitress. This is a charming little place with a short, curated menu. I had the most divine roast sardines, followed by a sublime cut of Iberian pork, cooked to perfection, with apples and mashed potatoes. A wonderful plate of local cheeses rounded off the meal. The service was most attentive, flawless in fact. I was recommended a local red, which hit the spot, as did the splash of marc (eau de vie) after. I left feeling not just well fed, but also as if I'd been pampered by people who care dearly about food, and about how to treat diners who choose to come to their restaurant.

What a great find this was in Avignon! From the moment we were welcomed by Antonia and her cheerful and most helpful suggestions, we knew this was a special place. Everything prepared by her husband the chef had the flavor and presentation of an expert. The atmosphere inside was warm and inviting but also had tables outside. Don’t miss the deserts!

This place is truly special. It is a small, unpretentious restaurant with truly spectacular cooking and a friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable hostess who makes everything shine. Antonia speaks English (she IS English), but is just as happy to let you practice your French and listen graciously. And she knows her stuff. She knows detailed information about the wines and menu ingredients, and her patience and humor put you immediately at a ease. But the food!! The menu was small, but everything we tried was absolutely wonderful. The people at nearby tables were just as smitten as we were. You must reserve. We saw many people turned away as the place was fully booked, and I gather this is the norm. This meal will definitely be one of the most enduring and pleasant memories of our three-week trip to France.

Two years ago we visited Avignon and ate at this charming restaurant. We just returned from 4 weeks in Avignon and returned to Fou de Fafa twice. The dinners are delightful, delicious and very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. The service is also excellent. Many thanks to the owners for adding so much to our stay.

Another completely satisfying visit to a remarkably consistent local gem. Fou de Fafa has been a favorite for many years because of the consistent quality of the food and the service. They maintain a limited menu and a limited wine list to provide the sort of reliable quality that most restaurants only hope to provide. There is a lack of pretension that restaurants that have more than a thousand 5 ratings rarely display, and you can enjoy a three course prix fix meal for what some restaurants in the city charge for an entree. Enjoy!
