Christian Etienne

Fine dining in a frescoed medieval house by the Papal Palace

Gastronomic restaurant in a 12th-century stone house adjoining the Palais des Papes, its dining room decorated with early-16th-century frescoes. Chef Christian Etienne built his reputation on themed menus — tomato in summer, mushroom in autumn — with signature dishes including lamb mousse with aubergines and lobster preparations. Expensive, but a serious kitchen in a remarkable setting. 10 rue Mons.
