Le Goût du Jour

Le Goût du Jour is a modern French restaurant presenting a refined, seasonally led cuisine rooted in Provençal terroir; the kitchen works daily to renew inventive compositions that highlight local producers and the flavours of Vaucluse and Provence. The house is Michelin-selected, appears in Gault&Millau and was named Table de Maître 2026 by Guide Boullenger, with Guide Michelin praise for its visual precision, seasonal focus and balanced flavours. The dining room balances the rusticity of old stone walls with the refinement of a modern kitchen, creating a cosy, elegant atmosphere in a confidential address in Avignon’s historic centre. Contemporary French cooking is driven by careful technique, precise plating and a sustained desire to elevate local terroir. Chef Julien Chazal, originally from Avignon, trained at the local hotel school, worked in pastry and in kitchens including a passage at the Hôtel d’Europe with Bruno d’Angelis before taking the lead. The house offers a Menu Dégustation, the Menu Inspiration in four-, five- or six-course sequences with optional wine pairing, a vegetarian tasting menu, a dedicated children’s menu and a private "Table du Chef" prepared at the table on request. Its cellar holds more than 115 wine references and signature dishes include raviole ouverte with truffle and Iberian ham and fillet of pollock (filet de lieu jaune) with Jerusalem artichoke (topinambour).
