Beautiful setting too, and the old village is a curious and fun place, its built on and in the remains of an old quarry, hence the name of the restaurant. They cooked some breaded chicken specially for my daughter, it wasn't on the menu, and let us bring our dog in; we sat out on the terrace. Very pleasant and attentive service too. All in all, its 100%. The 20 euro weekday lunch menu has to be worth trying; this is always the best time to go to get great food at a great price.

The food is not only delicious but beautifully presented and well priced. The setting, both indoors and out, is very attractive, the owners not only outstanding but in multiple languages, and the staff very accommodating. We are looking very much forward to multiple visits ti l'Auberge des Carrieres this summer.

We ate at La Balade at least 3 times a week, sometimes more, and always at lunch. We ate both inside and outside by the river. So, we tried virtually everything on both menus, and we were delighted with every meal--especially the Iberian pork. Wow! We also loved the grilled mackerel with sorbet on top; who knew that could be done so deliciously! We never had any doubts about the kitchen, so we would try anything and everything they served, and we were never disappointed. As for the service, it was always very friendly and professional, but not stuffy. The servers belied the myth that French waitstaff aren't friendly and chatty. We felt like locals, even though our French is limited.

Service was great. With my tiny amount of french and their English there were no language issues. Menu was great - Foie Gras and the duck were amazing. Others had dessert, but I was stuffed. There are a lot of great restaurants in Lourmarin, but this is at the top of the stack. This was our last meal before we left the next day so it was a great finale. Great patio if the weather permits to sit outside.

I enjoyed every dish even the substitute fish dish. Since I'm allergic to shellfish, the restaurant substituted the fish dish with trout.

If you're visiting Avignon, this spot is an absolute must!

They turned away everyone who tries to walk in the night we were there. It's a set menu with a few unlisted freebies. For us, there was a single delicious appetizer, a complex brown lentil and haddock salad with a wonderful red lentil sauce. We could choose three or four courses with one or two choices from their list of three mains, a fish dish, Guinea fowl and a top cut of Carmargue beef. We had the last two which wet both excellent. Their cocktail of the day was wonderful. Our cheese plate was basic: Manchego, St. Marcellus and a delicious goat. Desert was creative and a great ending. Excellent wine selection too!
