Les Arts - Avignon

This was one of the few bad experiences we had during our trip to France. Eating was terrible, and waiting staff was more than rude. They were visibly irritated by us and asked for butter with our bread. (of course not usual for lunch or dinner) He told us he kept saying. No, then he gave us 1 tiny butter. Also San Pellagrino brought us carbonized water, we had asked for water, no gas He opened the bottle, told us again and again that it was not a gas when we protested. Then he brought a carafe of pure water. We were accused of San Pellagrino because they said we had opened him. And he tried to give me 1 euro less and I had to ask for it. Terrible. Terrible food, terrible service and fraud. Not God!

It's a brasserie. Hold on with the pizza. Get the $20 bottle of wine and watch the world. A table of 25 came as we set ourselves. (the restaurant knew they were coming). Amazingly, the service didn't suffer, but waiting... crashed.

Had a yummy cheese and tomato pizza here, loaded with cheese! All outside seating, so a little disappointing that people on the next table lit up their cigarettes once they'd finished their meal, and we had just started ours. Not a polite thing to do....There were no ash trays, so you'd think they would think they couldn't smoke, but nah! They just flicked their ash on the ground and stubbed out the cigarette on the ground, next to people eating. Not good. Restaurant itself good, service with a smile. Nice place.

We order two Cabillaud starters and we have a tuna salad. As the main course we ordered a grilled cabillaud and we got a steamed without any kind of tasting. The waiter is not professional, but the most important thing is that all walls are very dirty.

Few places to choose from for a late lunch (2.30) in Avignon other than touristy places like this. Not good meat in both duck and veal escalope was tough, although pasta dishes were fine and rose wine very good. Service ok. Pizzas on other...tables looked rather unappetising I fear
