The 14 best bars and drinks in Villeneuve-les-Avignon

To be honest I cannot say I liked it! Lots of people, they check your bags. The same way to go to the gardens but when we bought tickets no one told us the gardens are closed for 2 years already. They have toilet in the corner. Views much better from the castle. Maybe 🤔 from another side of the river view much better.

A lot of people, nice walk on the bridge. Even better if you walk up to the wall. If you are there for tourism, it would worth going at least once in your lifetime.

You're telling me I have to pay to walk on a bridge that doesn't even go the full way across the river it is built on? Do you know how many bridges I have crossed--for free--that DO fully cross their respective river? EVERY OTHER BRIDGE I HAVE EVER CROSSED. It does offer a nice view of the city, at least.

Definitely worth a visit! The entrance is only €5, and although the audio guide can be a bit confusing at times, the visit is still very worthwhile. The video about the reconstruction is especially interesting and clearly explained. In short: a small price for a rich and unique experience!

Nice chapels unexpected on bridge with Modern exhibit Cosmos. We loved river view too! Best buy joined ticket with pope Palace and gardens

The Bridge in the Nowhere — because, well, it’s not exactly taking you anywhere anymore! But that’s part of the charm of the Pont Saint-Bénézet, a historic bridge in Avignon that stands proudly as a symbol of the city, even though it no longer spans the Rhône River entirely. Fun Facts: • The bridge originally had 22 arches, but now only four remain. The missing arches were destroyed over time due to floods and natural wear. • Saint Bénézet, after whom the bridge is named, was a shepherd who, according to legend, was told by God to build the bridge. He supposedly carried a large stone across the river by himself to prove his divine mission. • The bridge is also famously featured in the popular French song “Sur le Pont d’Avignon,” which has made it internationally recognizable. This beautiful structure is a marvelous sight, offering a peaceful stroll across the remaining arches. The view of the Rhône River and the surrounding city is stunning, and the serene walk gives you a sense of stepping back in time. You can almost imagine how it must have felt centuries ago when the bridge was a vital crossing point connecting the north and south of the river. As for the history, the Pont Saint-Bénézet dates back to the 12th century and was a critical part of medieval trade routes. Over time, however, it fell victim to both natural disasters and warfare, leaving only a few of its arches still standing. Despite the passage of time, the bridge remains a powerful reminder of the city’s medieval significance and the ingenuity of its builders. Admission is €5 for adults, and it’s free for those under 18. For visitors over 64, there is a discounted rate — €4.

Good day outing activity. One bridge and chapel in the middle with historic importance to avignion. You need to buy the ticket the price doesn't justify it . However beautiful on a sunny day out . If you have a plan to go to palace de Pope which you should do ....they will seel combo tickets where you will find tickets couple of euros cheaper . Give yourself 3 hours for descent exploration for both attractions. Do not each musesls and french fries from any of the shops nearby . It's all pre cooked and served cold . We wasted money in 2 different occasions. Do good research and enjoy lunch . Book in advance as place is very popular.

A bit of a hidden gem. By chance we discovered this place. Great location and quite OK food, but on the very ordinary side. It might be a good idea to book a table. When we arrived around 1900 it was completely empty, but half an hour later almost all tables were occupied.

We stopped by this restaurant during lunch time. We asked if it would be possible to only have drinks. Sure, no problem - came the answer. Just located on the bank of the Rhône river, this place feels far away from the city as you can't hear the traffic noise. Thanks to the trees' canopy, the temperature remains bearable even at mid day. The restaurant was two thirds full. Yet, service was flawless. It seems that locals enjoy lunching here. That means the food is good. We truly had a good break.

The view is breathtaking, especially when you stay for sunset. Food is ok nothing stunning service is OK too especially when busy. I would return for a dessert.

Beautifully located restaurant. Even though it can be hard to find, it's worth it when you do! The view of the river is stunning in the evening. They serve great food for a fair price. And everything is served with a smile.

The staff here is unbelievably rude, and the woman serving us was beyond aggressive—almost hostile. We were absolutely shocked by her behavior. This place pretends to be somewhere you can relax and enjoy good vibes, but in reality, it’s the opposite: neglectful, unfriendly, and completely unprofessional. The woman who seems to be the boss was the worst of all—arrogant, impolite, and aggressive. We couldn’t stand it, so we asked for the check right after eating and left, even though we had planned to stay for dessert and coffee. Their attitude was so disgusting and unacceptable that it ruined the entire experience. Honestly, if I could give them less than zero stars, I would. A total disaster—I will never set foot in this place again. Since I cannot reply directly to your comment, I will clarify here. What you claimed in your response is simply not correct. I was taking pictures at a time when the restaurant was completely empty — no guests were there yet. That should not have bothered you, especially since my intention was positive: to show your place to friends abroad and encourage them to visit. It’s unfortunate that you chose to see this as something negative. Regarding my so-called “unpleasant behavior,” that was not my starting attitude — it was my reaction to the neglect and poor service I experienced. If we are to talk about behavior, then let’s also mention yours: shouting at my 11-year-old son when he politely asked about his phone that was charging inside. That is not how a professional host should treat a child. Other guests also noticed your reaction. I insist on saying it clearly: your attitude was very bad, and you left us with a terrible impression. The only positive experience we had was with the gentleman inside, who was polite and respectful — unlike you.

The food was very good!! The waiter was very friendly, and the views were beautiful!! Loved it, we would go back!!

Everything was lovely. The staff were very friendly, the surrounding beautiful and my meal was delicious.

Small place with delicious French cuisine. We had the best duck of our trip here! Made to perfection! Delicious! The foie gras is also very good, worth to try if you never had or if you’re a lover. Try to make a reservation first, to make sure you get a table. The kitchen of the restaurant closes at 9:30, make sure to put your orders in before that. The waiters are fast and very polite, both speak English.

Service was good, even though they forgot our wine orders it was rectified quickly. The pork main dish was delicious and was super enjoyable. The flavours of the duck also stood out! We enjoyed our escargots and frogs legs starters too and finished off with the apricot tart and praline dessert both of which were amazing. Would 100% return to eat it all again (especially the pork!)

What an amazing experience! The food menu is small and simple, and delicious. The wine menu is smaller than I thought it would be, but loaded with killer wines. Everything we got was fantastic. They also have a huge selection of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks that are great. And, the people running this place could not be better. Very friendly and helpful, and happy to answer questions and make recommendations. Lastly, they have a great in-store “wine cellar” where they sell many of the bottles from their by-the-glass menu. We bought a couple bottles to take home. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent restaurant in the heart of Avignon. Super friendly stuff and delicious food! Their wine list wonderful and reasonably priced. I dine here twice during my stay and in both times everything was absolutely perfect! Don’t search elsewhere but home dine here :)

Very relaxed but attentive service. If i lived in Avignon I could easily call this my go-to restaurant. My first experience with escargot in France - they were wonderful. American restaurants (even fine dining venues) tend to smother them with garlic & oil. These were much more gently seasoned & full of complex flavors - truly delicious!

Really amazing little wine bar with great dishes. We were recommended a lovely white local wine. The burrata and the eggplant caviar were standout but everything was delish! Staff was very friendly and professional - highly recommend!

Awesome restaurant with high-quality food and great wines. Friendly staff provide little extras such as amuses and gourmandises. The Dorade and escargots are recommended. Well worth a detour.

Amazing food and impeccable service. Vegetarian options on the menu are great!

The waitress was extremely rude and impolite! We were 4 people, we wanted to order starters and a main dish, as well as drinks for all of us. While we were ordering se left the table without explaining a thing! She came again, claiming that our order wasn’t enough for 4 persons

The setting looks nice, just unfortunately we didn’t get any service or food. The waiter found us a table, then asked us to move to another area if we only ordered beverages, which is totally understandable. But he just left us like this for half an hour— I then found out he did not take down our order at all when we had to leave. I checked other reviews and saw people with children and those of my ethnicity got bad services as well, so that brought other concerns. Anyways, the restaurant has a good view to the plaza, but I would only recommend it to Caucasian men with no families to take care of.

ABSOLUTELY APPALLED BY RESTAURANT OWNERS BEHAVIOR! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL EXPENSE! My son (13) was very sick and needed to use a bathroom urgently. I asked a man if he could use the bathroom, which I was willing to pay for and buy a coffee as expected in Europe etc. This man, who then advised me he was the restaurant owner, a tall, older man with a dark presence started abusing me, on his ranting tangent he told me "He was here to sell food, not toilets and to go and use the public toilets" Being a tourist and only just getting to the place off a bus, not knowing where the public toilets were and under the circumstances, this was the best possible option at the time. The lack of empathy, humanity and understanding expressed by this man was absolutely disgusting! Never have I experienced this behavior from someone in my life! I gave him a piece of my mind and advised that I would be sharing my experience on all platforms, in which he did not seem phased whatsoever. From reading other peoples reviews on Google and Trip Advisor, it is clearly evident this man has no level of emotional intelligence or customer service expertise. I can't comment on the food, however the lack of people in his restaurant in a highly populated tourist area speaks for itself. Spend your money at a restaurant, where you are welcomed and treated with kindness and respect.

Food is ok. Service is nothing special but staff and mostly the chef are very friendly. However the location is just unbeatable in Avignon. Right in front of the palace. No car. Just perfect. In the winter i would give this place a much lower rating, because you can eat better elsewhere. But when the weather is good it is the perfect place for drinks with finger food or a romantic diner.

Plane Tree shade. Golden Mama in the sky. Foie gras, espresso.

We arrived on a Tuesday evening at about 8:30pm without a reservation. Approached a waiter who found the manager and we were seated outside immediately. I am garlic and onion intolerant so I usually know to eat fish which is the easiest to accommodate. My swordfish was excellent. The chef substituted potatoes for the sides. My friend had the swordfish with no accommodations and she said hers was excellent as well. The chef came out to speak to the diners after dinner. A very friendly person snd competent chef!

The food here was amazing. I got the burger and it was a nice refreshing burger that was pretty American. My husband got the porc ribs with mashed potatoes and it was very delicious. The drinks were good too. The atmosphere was more on the warmer side, probably not super kid friendly (if anyone needs to know). When we first went in the first girl was pretty rude. She made us wait 5 minutes while staring at us. And then finally asked why we were there. I said to eat and she said that we couldn't eat until 7 (for about 10 minutes). No biggie, but she was just pretty rude about it all. We went back after the 10 minutes and the next waiter was super nice! She would even do French with me and English with my family. She was amicable and very quick to help us understand. Because of this we didn't feel judged asking questions and we all got food we actually liked.

We had a wonderful dinner at Aubergine in Villeneuve-les-Avignon. This restaurant is about 10 minutes drive from Avignon. We sat out on the terrace, which was charming and perfect for a relaxed evening. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was quick, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Places filled up quite quickly on a Tuesday evening. Would recommend reservation. Highly recommend!

APPALLING. Worst service I’ve ever encountered Wine was warm We waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our meals which I had PRE-ORDERED to help the chef. Dessert was foul. An apple crumble with almost no crumble. Huge bill for crap food. Bread was hard and stale. Absolutely NO CARE apology or concern from the staff either. Do yourself a favour and DO NOT go here.

An ok meal close to our hotel. Unfortunately the cod was slightly overcooked and the risotto had weird additions like almond slivers and uncooked tomatoes. Didn't love the dinner, but it will do in a pinch.

It's been 3 years in a row that we enjoy our lunch here during our passage on our bike trip. Sitting in the shadow of the umbrella we enjoy the atmosphere of the market place. The menu is straight forward and delicious. Coming back next year.

At Aubergine you can get nice food for awesome prices. They sold out of diet coke and Orangina, but it was no problem to just order (free) tap water. Friendly staff that does speak a bit of English. Fast service, I would definitely visit again.

What a spectacular restaurant!! The Iberian Pork was delicious, such a delicacy with rich flavours. Definitely coming back here again (I already went twice in a row…)

(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to find a table available at this popular restaurant. We received a very warm welcome and had a delicious meal. We're glad we asked a local for directions, otherwise we wouldn't have found it. See the map. (Original) Wij hadden het geluk dat er nog een tafeltje vrij was in dit populaire restaurant. We werden zeer gastvrij ontvangen en hebben heerlijk gegeten. Blij dat we bij een local de weg hadden gevraagd anders hadden we het niet gevonden. Zie het kaartje.

(Translated by Google) Hospitable, nice owners who serve very good food at a decent price. If you like Asian cuisine, this is the place to eat. If you like it spicy, you can mention it when ordering and you won't be disappointed. If we had such a good Vietnamese restaurant near us, we would love to come back again and again. This leaves us with good memories of the holidays. (Original) Gastfreundliche, nette Besitzer, die sehr gutes Essen zu einem anständigen Preis servieren. Wer gerne asiatische Küche hat, isst hier richtig. Wer es gerne scharf hat, der darf es bei der Bestellung erwähnen und wird nicht enttäuscht. Hätten wir ein solch gutes vietnamesisches Restaurant bei uns in der Nähe, wir kämen immer wieder gerne. So bleibt uns die gute Erinnerung an die Ferien.

(Translated by Google) Really a great place. Sitting is nothing special but the food is really great. You can tell that it's basically Vietnamese home cooking. Everything fresh and crunchy, tasty and appropriately seasoned. The service was very nice and there was plenty of ice-cold water to quench your thirst. With snacks and starters for three people €68, you can't complain 👍 (Original) Wirklich ein tolles Lokal. Sitzen ist jetzt nichts besonderes aber das Essen ist wirklich toll. Man merkt, daß es quasi vietnamesische Hausmannskost ist. Alles frisch und knackig, schmackhaft und angemessen gewürzt. Sehr nett bedient worden und es gab reichlich eiskaltes Wasser gegen den Durst. Mit nach und Vorspeisen für drei Leute 68€, da kann man nicht meckern 👍

(Translated by Google) I came with my mom to eat on a Sunday in August. We had a great time. The dishes are very well prepared, refined, and delicious. I really recommend this restaurant. In addition, the owner and the owner are super friendly, smiling, very kind, and the prices are really reasonable. I recommend it to you. For me, it's the best in the region. Don't hesitate. (Original) Je suis venu avec ma maman manger un dimanche d'aout nous nous sommes régalés les plats sont très soignée et raffinées et délicieux je recommande vraiment ce restaurant. De plus le patron et la patronne sont super sympas souriants très gentils et les tarifs vraiment raisonnable je vous le conseille pour moi le meilleur de la région n'hésitez pas.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty, we go twice a year. It's highly recommended for our little family. The chef is very tasty. (Original) Très savoureux nous allons deux fois en année. Avec notre petite famille est une recommandant. La cuisinier et très savoureux

(Translated by Google) This is my first time having dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. The food is delicate and good. We took a legume soup, rice with sautéed legume curry and rice vermicelli with vegetables. Fresh pineapple and chocolat ligeuse. The. Rhone's Vin Rouge cote. In Avignon. Optimal. We woke up satisfied and not weighed down. (Original) È la prima volta che ceno ad un ristorante vietnamita. Il cibo è delicato e buono. Abbiamo preso una soupe di legumi riso al curry saute' di legumi e vermicelli di riso con verdura. Ananas fresco e chocolat ligeuse. The. Vin Rouge cote di Rhone. Ad Avignone. Ottimo. Ci siamo alzati soddisfatti e non appesantiti.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful discovery, I'd even say a gem. We were looking for an Asian restaurant in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and based our choice on Google reviews. We weren't disappointed, quite the opposite. The dishes are delicious and truly homemade. Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Being Vietnamese myself, I was pleasantly surprised to rediscover the taste of my family's authentic cooking, and it's a real pleasure. The prices are really reasonable; the menu, including a starter, main course, and dessert, is only €23. The owner is very kind and welcoming; kudos to him for managing the service all by himself. There's a wide selection on the menu. The hygiene is excellent (I've never seen restaurant restrooms so clean). The terrace is pleasant and pretty. We won't go anywhere else but to Sa La Ka. It's popular; I recommend making a reservation (closed Wednesdays and Thursdays for lunch). Convenient parking right in front. (Original) Une belle découverte, je dirai même une pépite. Nous cherchions un restaurant asiatique à Villeneuve les Avignon et nous nous sommes basés aux avis Google pour y aller. Sans déceptions, au contraire. Les plats sont succulents et vraiment fait maison. Une vrai cuisine vietnamienne. Étant moi même vietnamienne, j'ai étais agréablement surprise de retrouver le goût de la cuisine authentique de ma famille et ça fais plaisir. Les tarifs sont vraiment raisonnables, le menu avec entrée, plat et dessert est à 23€ seulement. Le propriétaire est très gentil et accueillant, bravo à lui d'ailleurs de gérer le service tout seul. Beaucoup de choix à la carte. L'hygiène est au rendez vous (je n'ai jamais vu des WC de restaurant aussi propre). La terrasse est agréable et jolie. Nous n'irons plus ailleurs qu'au Sa La Ka. Il a du succès, je vous recommande de réserver (fermé le mercredi et le jeudi midi). Parking juste devant pratique.

On the way from the center to the station, we were looking for a place to have lunch in Avignon for quite a long time. We went to this restaurant more out of desperation, we didn't want to eat right on such a main street. What a nice surprise. They have a solid selection of food. Everything we had was very tasty, the portions were generous. There is a huge selection of draft and bottled beer. The service was very nice, helpful and above all fast. And the prices? Very very affordable for the center of Avignon. Total satisfaction from our side, we highly recommend.

Great food, it was absolutely delicious and the beer was good too. There were some homeless people who tried to beg, but the staff immediately sent them away, they almost kicked them away. If you're looking for some great food I would definitely recommend coming here.

This is a great bar. Has live music and is great selection of beverages. The pizza is also with a good size. Parking is relatively easy and a short walk from the downtown. Also they offer a happy hour.

Great place to have a cheap and nice breakfast - and really good burgers and chips. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and plenty of rock music 👍

Great beer selection, amazing bi/trilingual staff, and fantastic food! I only write reviews when blown away by an establishment, but hot out of the gates (open for 2 weeks at the time of writing) this bar seems to have it all! Having just come from Italy, I thought I was jaded for pizza but the food and pizza here absolutely holds its own! Combined that warm and attentive staff, relaxed environment, and reasonable pricing, this place checks all the boxes. A must visit in Avignon if you like beer, pizza, or indoor/outdoor relaxation

Well decorated pub with a great selection of beers from around the world. Food was disapointing however as most items are stuffed with mayonaise or other creamy sauces.

Didn't honour their happy hour. When questioned they lied about what drinks were on their happy hour list.

Great service, great prices, and a beautiful view from the outdoor seating area.

Best outdoor cafe in Avignon. Great staff, English is not a problem, and the best square in town. Their onion jam is incredible. And the beer and wine selection is good.

Always the nice place to have drink enjoying the atmosphere provençale with lovely fontaine just behind 🙏🏿

A great bar located in a lovely square. It is a very friendly and easy-going place where the wines and the beers are well priced (the Cegales, a local pils beer, was my favourite). The clients are a mixed bunch of friendly locals and teh odd tourist (like me). Alex runs the place and you'd be hard pushed to meet a more friendly an efficient manager.

This great little café is located in a square with a lovely fountain where you can sit outside and eat or drink. It's a perfect place to start your day enjoying one of their baguettes and a coffee; and then to return and finish your day later into the evening with a beer, a glass of wine, a hot dog or another baguette. The staff are very friendly and all speak English. The setting is wonderful, and it's easy to spend lots of time here just people watching and enjoying the atmosphere and relaxing. This café is frequented by locals, students and tourists, and for me, it is on my must visit list every time I return to France and Avignon on my trips from England.

Came here immediately from the train at 2:00pm (14:00) in need of a quick bite and coffee. Their €4,90 sandwiches chaud were incredibly good. We got the tomato mozzarella sandwich and the potato-Larson-cheese brulèe with caramelized onion sandwich. They were so right and satisfying. They use ficelle bread from Violette, and it is perfect - crunchy and soft. The cafe creme was a bit rich, but very satisfying. We would go back often.

👌

A couple lost Americans needed a place to watch the Broncos game, and this bar opened early for us! Marc was an excellent host, patient and accommodating. It is a self service concept, with dart boards and great music. A great place to knock the dust off.

Just okay...great location and a few good beers on tap, but seemed pricier than its rival Beer O’Clock. Good location though!

Great bar, friendly staff.. Good atmosphere

Good beers and friendly staff. Recommend ed!

A nice place to take some craft beers

Go there and grab à beer fine place aprouved

Nice 👌

Rude, impatient servers who are "over" having to deal with Americans who can't fully speak French. They'd rather you go someplace else...and so would you.

I waited 10 minutes for the menu and then a bold waiter kicked me out for accidentally breaking the plastic chair

The beer was good but the bald waiter tried to rob us, everytime check your recipe or dont go there. The waiter after this incident kept the tip.

Good ambiance and offer interesting price with good beverages and good location in the middle of the city

Bald waiter was rude

A good place to meet someone while you having cofee or beer.

awesome. and friendly people. and cheap
