Horace

Located in the heart of the Carmes district, just a stone’s throw from the Palais des Papes, Horace is a restaurant dedicated to French cuisine and the world of wine. Opened in 2026, Horace offers generous, approachable, house-made cuisine inspired by seasonal ingredients and a desire to revive restaurant dining that is simple, refined, and welcoming. Wine plays a central role in the restaurant’s identity. The wine list places special emphasis on wines from the Rhône Valley, with a selection designed to allow guests to discover different estates and vintages while also enjoying a glass shared over a meal. Wines by the glass are also available to encourage pairing and exploration. Horace welcomes everyone from visitors passing through Avignon to regulars, wine enthusiasts, and groups. The restaurant can also host business dinners, seminars, and private events, with the option to reserve all or part of the venue. At Horace, the goal is simple: to offer a warm and epicurean experience, where guests come as much to enjoy good food and drink as to savor a convivial moment in the heart of Avignon and the Carmes district.
