Plates which play the seasonal palettes with products of the moment to be tasted in Avignon.
Chic and soft, the Essential is well named. Nothing distracts this first impression from the entrance: the design is everywhere, light furniture and walls, white cloth towels. The dishes play on seasonal palettes with the products of the moment. Evan Neumann (who worked at the Plazza Athéné *** Michelin with Alain Ducasse) takes over the reins and he is probably the youngest Chef in Avignon, since he is only 21 years old! and already so talented with his refined cuisine. For instance, taste a cod in carpaccio, lemon oil, lemon caviar condiment and its fresh cream with seaweed and dessert pistachio and cherry in alliance in the macaroon, with pistachio sponge cake and its cherry coulis in red wine. The terrace will be completely redone before the summer season with old stones and a sculptor for the olive trees' pots. It is a beautiful address where you can enjoy the privilege of sitting in the small 17th century inner courtyard.

Rapport qualité/prix incroyable.
Les lieux, le service et les plats étaient parfaits.
Gros coup de cœur pour le fondant au chocolat et sa crème de café… meilleur dessert sur ma liste.
Merci pour ce moment

Nous nous sommes régalés avec des supers plats dans un restaurant très cosy.
Tout est juste et bon un vrai régal
Bravo a l'équipe
Petit bémol tout de même, la carte des vins est belle mais avec des prix un peu élevés.
