Restaurant
Christian Etienne
Maitre Cuisinier De France
84000 Avignon
Located next to the Hotel Mercure in Avignon, we completed our
stay with a dinner at Restaurant Christian Etienne. Named for
the notable chef himself, Etienne was as wonderful a host as he
was chef extraordinaire. The restaurant was a work of art in itself,
decorated in a trendy black, white and gray motif, displaying
beautiful paintings and statues, unique to any restaurant anywhere.
We asked Etienne to choose the menu for us. As we sampled Demi
canette de Challans rôtie, galette croquante de pommes de
terre, pomme fruit sautée aux épices, and Noix de
Saint Jacques pôelées, feuilles d'endives, blettes
et choux en cocotte jus a la melisse, we visited with Inter Rhône
President, Emmanuel Drion.
