Le Riad — Restaurant in Avignon

I'm so glad we made the effort to visit Le Riad.

Month long trip in France from Australia it was nice to experience wonderful, welcoming hospitable service and fantastic food to match. Lovely, attentive waiter... (I wish I asked his name).

The melting pot of flavors is definitely what we've been missing. We had the Royal couscous and the Chicken tagine with preserved lemon and olives. The couscous alone would've been plenty for the two of us, but we slowly got through most of our two dishes. We could only manage a lovely mint tea to finish.

I wish we had another day in Avignon to try some other dishes like the Kefta. A reason to come back to Avignon!

We had one of the worst experience here. We reserved the place and then after arriving we were given a corner table with absolutely no fan and no AC in the hot summer season. We were sweating the entire time while having our dinner. The rest of the tables were empty but the staff simply denied to give us one. While leaving when we gave the feedback, the staff was least bothered. Also, the food is not that good. I have had a much better Couscous with much better service and rather a good ambience. This place is simply overrated. Had there been less than one star, I would have been glad to...

I did not expect to have Moroccan food in France but it turns out to be an excellent surprise.

The restaurant is very popular during our stay in Avignon (compare to many other restaurants in Avignon), so we decided to give it a try. Reservation is recommended as it was full house when we had our meal.

I love the couscous and their vegetable soup. The lamb is tender and full of flavour. Portion is generous and the price is very reasonable. Service is friendly. Our most recommended...
