Prevot - Cavaillon

The reviews on TA were mixed so we didn’t know what to expect. We started with aperitifs from the selection of Melon liqueur cocktails. The accompanying small bites were delicious. I should say at this point that Prevot is famous for its melon themed dishes and the chefs passion for melon is clearly displayed around the walls of the restaurant, which is decorated in a tranquil, pastel palette. A perfect backdrop for the food. After a slow start and some brief confusion when we were asked for our choices but we had not been given menus, we opted for the 6 plate tasting menu, which included the melon and lobster dish which we were particularly keen on trying as we had heard good things about it. We were not disappointed. After a palette cleansing cucumber and crab appetiser, the first dish was a tuna and tomato dish. Lightly seared tuna, confit sun dried tomatoes and a tomato sorbet. Fabulous. Followed by pan fried foie gras with kumquat marmalade, with the most delicious jus. Then came the lobster and melon dish, which lived up to its billing. Beautifully presented and delicious. The next dish was pigeon breast, again with the most delicious jus. We were then served a deliciously light emulsion of goats cheese on a fig coulis. This was followed by a beautiful melon mousse dessert with a fruits of the forest could centre. Very light and tasty. The last plate was some tasty little petit fours. With an extensive wine list, which included many of our favourite local wines this was a very successful evening, despite the service being a little slow. We had a little chat with the chef, a charming man who explained he started his career as a pastry chef, hence the little petits four at the end. He can’t resist returning to his roots.

Wonderful meal. We ordered the menu constructed around melon for each course very creative and above all, delicious! We will return to try the other seasonal menus.

Wish I could be nicer because I think they try hard but this is a restaurant drowning in haute cuisine prétentions it cannot live up to. Bad amuse bouche of gristley duck in a nasty “cappuccino” Dreadful soggy starter of crab that was just a watery mush of avocado, tomato and even apricot. Horrible fish main course that tasted of washing up liquid and as full of bits. TINY and very salty pigeon main course surrounded by lack lustre vegetables. Wine and cheese was the best. Weird place. Avoid.
