Le Joat

LE JOAT is a gourmet, gastronomic restaurant in the centre of Avignon that emphasizes refined food and wine pairings. The kitchen focuses on seasonal cooking: dishes evolve with the seasons and the chef's inspirations, with careful selection of fresh market produce. A dedicated sommelier tends a curated wine cellar featuring domaines Château Juvenal, Domaine Trélus, Domaine des Escaravailles, Domaine Hauvette and Domaine du Paternel to provide paired wines. LE JOAT is listed in Gault & Millau and in the Michelin Guide, underscoring its contemporary fine-dining approach. The dining room offers a warm, welcoming setting with a terrace for outdoor dining and a convivial, fine-dining atmosphere. Cuisine is contemporary and product-led, built on a market-driven menu with precise, refined preparations. Chef Joris Tixador, born into a farming family, leads the kitchen and places respect for the land and produce at the heart of his work, describing gastronomy as the meeting of a product, a season and an emotion. Specialties include structured menus and multi-sequence tasting options for gastronomic discovery, seasonal tasting menus and dedicated four- and six-sequence chef menus.
