Situated in a bland neighbourhood, and looking rather unassuming from the outside, you 'd be tempted to give the place a miss if you hadn 't been there before. That would be a monumental mistake! Pascal, the amazing Chef behind this 'Gastronomical Bistro ', is an Avignon local and a champion of the local cuisine (quite literally, for instance, for aioli ask him). And while the place would deserve a more impressive location, and perhaps a tiny bit more work on the decor, his passion is obviously food and wine, and so on your memorable evening there, he will woo you with a know how and ability to execute that you 'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere in the city. The man is a legend! There 's p...
Visited Saturday 10th June 2017. Le Petit Chaudron is just outside the walls behind the train station in a quiet residential location - definitely worth the short walk of less than five minutes from the station. We arrived somewhat late in the lunch service but received a warm welcome from the owners - both the front of house lady and the chef who came out of the kitchen to greet us. The three course set menu at 21 euros had plenty of choice as did the wine list - any bottle available by the glass or carafe at reasonable cost. The help yourself buffet as a starter had a lot of choice and was delicious as was our whole sea bass main course. The home made desserts were excellent. We were the l...
Le Petit Chaudron is a bit off the beaten track but it's not much more than a couple of hundred metres outside the city walls. We were staying at the Novotel during the Festival so we welcomed the chance to try some interesting cuisine without having to brave the crowds in the city centre. We were not disappointed: the welcome was as warm as other reviews have mentioned and the food equally good.The evening menu was excellent value at €22, and both it and the fairly priced wine list concentrate on local produce as far as possible. We will certainly return on another visit to Avignon.
Great little joint, while close to the action it’s in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking. Really good value and probably the best meal we’ve had in our week in France for not a lot of money (I think we had 3 courses for 22€ when we were there and he made a smaller 3 course meal for our kids for 15 each). You could tell he put some thought into the meals, even the salad was excellent. Bon apetit!

I and my wife really enjoyed the adventurous and delicious food and the fact that it was in a residential area outside the walls. The couple that run it were very engaging and obliging. The wine list was extensive and inexpensive and available in glasses, carafes and full bottles. I had the rabbit stew which was succulent.
Away from the hurly burly of the busy festival town and just around the corner from our hotel, a really nice find. Ultra friendly helpful staff, tasty and nicely presented food and good prices including an evening formule set menu price. Wines were good too. Recommended
Just got back after having a phenomenal dinner and dessert here. The food was delicious, and the service was responsive. It very laid back. I had the pork filet, and my wife had the sea bass. Both were well prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted fabulous!!
Phenomenal food for a very fair price. An old-school restaurant with no menus besides what’s written on the wall. 21€ for three courses, and several good house wines to choose from. Make sure to try the chestnut cake for dessert!

The seafood is delicious and mouth watering . Friendly staff and the food was freshest.I liked the trout with eggplant.
Off the Beaten Track but well worth seeking it out . Friendly owners and gourmet food in a surprising setting.
