Le Mirande — Restaurant in Avignon

La Mirande offers four completely different dining experiences under one roof. Le Restaurant (one Michelin star + Green Star, chef Florent Pietravalle) serves seasonal Provençal cooking in the historic Salle Cardinalice or on the terrace at the foot of the Palais des Papes. La Table Haute is the most special experience: up to 12 guests sit at a big table in the old 19th-century kitchen while the chef cooks dinner on the original charcoal range; the evening starts with an aperitif in the wine cellar (€120 p.p. including wine pairing). Le Bistrot Pamard is for a relaxed à la carte lunch or dinner. Le Mirage is a tavern with a daily menu of organic and local produce, made in an open kitchen with a wood-fired oven. There's also a cookery school ("Le Marmiton") and a bar with afternoon tea. The wine list focuses on organic and low-intervention producers, with no fewer than five pages devoted to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which makes sense, as Avignon is right next door. A wide selection by the glass. The kitchen at Le Restaurant works with tasting menus of 3, 5 or 7 courses, strongly seasonal and local: olive oil, home-grown vegetables, fish and meat from the region.
