Numéro 75

Numéro 75 is a modern French fine-dining restaurant at 75 Rue Guillaume Puy, on the southern side of the historic centre of Avignon in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. As its name suggests, it takes its identity from its street number, and it occupies a refined setting away from the busiest tourist streets around the Palais des Papes. The kitchen is listed as modern French and is known for a seasonal tasting menu, with local lamb as another signature. Menus change with the market calendar of the Vaucluse and the wider Provence region, so spring brings asparagus and tender greens, summer favours tomatoes, melon and herbs, and autumn and winter lean on mushrooms, game and slow-cooked meats. Prices run from about EUR 45 to 85 (roughly $52-98) per person, with the shorter set menus at the lower end and the full tasting menu at the upper end, before wine. The drinks list is expected to focus on southern Rhône and Provence appellations, such as Côtes du Rhône Villages, Gigondas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Luberon, and a pairing with the tasting menu is a popular option. The atmosphere is calm and polished, with a moderate noise level and smart casual dress, and the room suits couples and small groups celebrating an occasion. Service is typically lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday; days should be verified before visiting. Reservations are required, and booking at least a week ahead is sensible, with more notice for weekend evenings and the Festival d'Avignon in July. The restaurant is within a manageable walk of Avignon's main sights and the Avignon Centre railway station, which makes it a practical choice for visitors arriving by train who want a considered meal without crossing the city. Dietary needs should be raised when booking because the menu is composed in advance.
