Les 5 Sens

Avignon


This gastronomic temple is a great option for a très Français fine-dining experience. Overseen by chef supremo Thierry Baucher, it's particularly known for its mix of Provençal and southwestern flavours – so expect contemporary spin on traditional dishes such as cassoulet (meat-and-bean stew), foie gras and suprème de pintade (guinea-fowl supreme).
