Simple Simon - Avignon

After reading the reviews I thought, "why not". We were in the neighborhood. It was 2:30 pm and hot. We sat outside. I ordered the chicken salad, reviewers said it was Hugh. I ask the waiter if we could split it and he said, "no". Ok there. He said my husband could sit there if he ordered the smallest thing, "dessert". So he ordered dessert, almond raspberry cake and me, the chicken salad. His cake came with a spoon the size of a serving spoon. I ask if he could have a fork and the waiter said, "no".Here's the rundown. Simple food. The chicken salad was mostly pre-made with cold lentils, cold baked potato,cold rice, cold hard boiled egg, cold salad greens, cold breads The 5, 1/4 by 3 inch chicken strips were deep fried. The cake was wonderful and huge. I would never eat here again. The waiter was sour and rigid. Really...one can't share & really...cake must be eaten with a serving spoon? Oh and one more very important thing THEY DON'T TAKE Credit cards! No where is that stated. Not on the door and not on the table and not on the menu

Feels like a small English territory. Food is great, portions are good. Service is fine, in a very cosy and traditional atmosphere.

Very English and pretty, nice place for a quiet chat. It's not cheap but the servings are huge. Well-placed not far from Palais des Papes but it's a bit sombre and they won't serve near closing time.

After a tiring walk round the Pope's Palace this Cafe offers the perfect afternoon sanctuary and the most fabulous tea and cake. We had lemon meringue pie and pear cake. Huge portions warmed up. I couldn't stop talking about it for the next 24 hours

Suggest you book or get there early as very popular with locals and advised by accommodation . Food was really tasty and plentiful , the dessert table holds all the favourites and again plentiful . I saw takeaway dessert boxes so locals pick up their treats as well. Inside is cosy and packed so enjoyed outside table ..seemed to be protected from Le Mistral .Service , even though restaurant packed was efficient and pleasant.
