LE MIRAGE, born from social distancing measures, is a tavern-style restaurant with a convivial atmosphere sprinkled with wine.
The name of this restaurant is a contraction of MIRande and garAGE. The team of the Table Haute and the Cooking classes serves dishes based on local procuce.
A selection of local jug wines accompanies the plates.
The open kitchen offers a view of the team cooking around the wood-fired oven.
A relaxed, friendly and convivial atmosphere in the courtyard, the vaulted cellar and the garage; a magnificent series of three large rooms in the historic 17th century building. This includes the garage, which was used as a horse-drawn carriage house in the 19th century and for cars in the 20th century, and was once the large tinel for the cardinal's livery of Saint Martial. Like the wall tapestries in vogue in the 14th century, large paintings by the American artist Timothy Hennessy adorn the stone walls and contribute to the unique atmosphere of this unusual place in Avignon.
His banners, costumes, painted furniture and stylized trees contribute to the unusual ambiance and perfectly suit the ancient walls of the cardinals’ residence, once bedecked with ornate tapestries.
