Beautiful French restaurant in the heart of Avignon. Lovely friendly owner doubling up as waiting staff serving delicious plates of freshly cooked food. My Chicken Supreme was moist and full of delicate flavours.Even though neither of us spoke each other’s language we managed to share information about each other! The owner’s husband is a well known musician and composer so the photos of great musicians and Film Stars on the walls! Will definitely visit again.

My all time favourite Iranian restaurant. Consistently great fresh food and excellent service for over thirty years! It evokes memories of my childhood dinning table. Great fresh grilled lamb and Saffron infused Chicken Kebabs rice and freshly baked bread are superb. The daily ‘dish of the day’ are sumptuous dishes. Mine is Saturday’s Baghalli Polo. A divine dish of slow cooked Lamb Shank with dill and broad beans saffron rice. Alounak doesn’t take bookings.Evenings and weekends there’s a long queue but the wait is worth it! They don’t serve Alcohol but you can bring your own wine/beer. It’s open all day from 12.00pm seven days a week. Once you’ve dined here you’d want to come back again and again! I’ve been dinning here regularly on my own and with friends since Alounak first opened thirty years ago!
