Le Pigalle — Restaurant in Carpentras

Because the only other restaurant at this Place de la Republique in lovely Orange during summer festival season had closed its kitchen, we choose ‘the other side’ Pigalle which didn’t look much inviting because of the use of TL-light (We already called the 80’s to get those back). The friendly and hardworking staff spoke as good English as my French, so that was really helpfull. Having said that; it’s what’s on the menu that counts. We both fell for the lasagna, but it didn’t quite fell for us. This pasta dish had been made mainly from lasagna sheets and minced meat and drenched in oil. This made the taste bland which couldn’t be saved by some extra salt. We did use the oil to sweeten the rock hard additional bread. The stars are for dessert which was crème brulee, more than plenty for two people and...

We had lunch here with my girlfriend, my in-laws and our 9 Month old baby. The restaurant is located at a nice square and have lots of tables inside and outside. First we went inside but switched tables when one table on the terrace became free. I had the beef skewer which was delicious and very affordable (€15,50). My mother in law had a cesar salad, which was quite large and had plenty of chicken, cheese and croutons. The others had a chicken skewer. All the food was really tasty and was well worth your money. We parked near the Arc de Triomphe which is only 8 minutes walking away from the restaurant.

Near the restaurant you can find, on walking distance, the Cathedrale Notre-Dame, the Arc de Triomph and the...

I can't confim the poor reviews here: this is a French brasserie not a gourmet restaurant (even some stuff is steep in price see below)

we had both the 3 course menu for 27.9€ and it was top notch how it should be in every French restaurant. At least they do offer wine in pichet (0,5l 9,9€), which some neighbours seem to ignore to sell their bottles for 30-100€. Young male service was excellent, attentive and quick.

Some selection of food and drinks has some tourist traps: coffee 4€ (without supermarket trick?) and Pizzas from 15-20€ seem to be the real profit-cash cows of this nice location?

Recommended anyway...
