EAT is tucked away in a little alley. Be on the look out or you'll miss it. It's small and simply decorated. The menu is also small and changes with the seasons and availability. If you have food allergies call ahead and ask. The steak and smoked salmon were the 2 favorites at the table. The salmon is smoked in house and is terrific. They have some nice wines available. EAT is a little pricey. About 100 Euros for 2 including a bottle of wine, but no dessert.

This restaurant was a hidden gem. The course that impressed me the most was the starters, with the tomato panna cotta and the peach tart. I could taste the freshness and sweetness in the peach tart. For dessert, I had the tiramisu and the ice nougat. They were both exceptional, but I liked the nougat more.

Wonderful restaurant to stop by when you’re in Avignon! The food was magnificent. There are about 4-6 selections for each course (you can decide how many courses to take) and each dish is made from carefully selected local ingredients. The service was friendly and comfortable. We absolutely loved the vibe of the simple clean atmosphere. Thank you!

This restaurant has a bit of a private kitchen vibe, as can be seen from the photos of previous diners. The menu changes with the seasons, and even the side dishes for the same main meats vary.
For my season period meal, there are 4 main dishes to choose from: steak, fish, pasta, and chicken. Being a carnivore, I went with the steak.
?Smoked Pepper Sauce Steak
Just by the name, you can tell it's not a traditional French dish. Unlike traditional sauces like béarnaise or hollandaise, this smoked pepper sauce is likely a modern and innovative creation. The orange color sauce on the steak reminds me of the chili oil on Lanzhou noodles. This smoked pepper sauce has a unique flavor, quite distinct from Australian or American-style steaks.
?Basil Cream Pasta
This is a classic Italian-style dish. The rich basil-flavored cream sauce coats the pasta, making it irresistible. The cooked tomatoes add some texture to prevent it from being too monotonous, making it a top choice for pasta lovers.
?Pastilla of Saint-Marcellin Cheese with Almonds and Honey
This is an appetizer. The cheese is heated within the pastry, and when you cut into the pie, the warm, thick cheese oozes out, becoming a creative salad dressing. However, this cheese flavor doesn't focus on salty or savory, which may not be to everyone's taste. It's a bit like when foreigners try peking stinky tofu for the first time; the initial taste sensation is the "stink."
French desserts never disappoint, and this one was no exception. The hot dark chocolate and cold hazelnut ice cream complemented each other, providing a beautiful ending to this meal. The only drawback was that it was a bit too sweet, but this seems to be a characteristic of local desserts. Whether it's one of the reasons many locals have hair loss issues remains a mystery.
