Avignon restaurants
Leaving for Avignon/Paris the 28th. We plan a lot of day excursions with dinner in Avignon. Any good ideas for moderate eating in A? ($20 ea.) I've read about l'Epicerie here and plan to hit that one.

LVSue, is the $20 for only food (not including wine?).
If so, I have 3 recommendations:
1. Cousscousserie de l'Horloge (on the place de l'horloge - 2nd floor). Delicious and cheap.
2. D'ici et d'ailleurs (on Rue Galante - just off Place de 'Horloge)- At 18 E for a 3-course meal, this was our the best-value meal, not the best meal, but quite edible.
3. Tapaslocas (Just off the Pl. de l'Horloge). Not exactly authentic tapas, but they were good, simple, and cheap. The place had GREAT atmosphere.
These are above your range, but still quite reasonable for the quality of the food:
1. Le Grand Cafe (4 rue des Escaliers Ste Anne), this place was our favorite. guidebooks was our favorite. The Prix-fixe was either 26 or 28 Euros.
2. Au Petit Bedon (70 rue Joseph Vernet). The prix-fixe was 25 and 35 euros.
3. Le Chandelier (29 rue de la Sarailleise, the street that connects Place de l'Horloge with Pl. Didier). The prix-fixe was 25 euros.

You're welcome LVSue! You won't have a hard time finding plenty of restaurants in Avignon in that price range. Some were closed for the season when we were there in March, they were reopening mid-April (like L'Epicerie).

La Fourchette--make reservations. And there is an all cheese restaurant on a small back street going up toward the Palais. It has a cow on its sign--VERY good--cheese and salads with many selections.

If it's warm enough, try Le Vernet - on the street with the same name. It's wonderful to dine there on a warm evening - I travel there for work quite often (leaving tonight, in fact), and my colleagues often take me there. . .
