Hortus Café

Café reserved for visitors to Saint-André Abbey.
Located in the heart of the gardens, sheltered by the vaults, this café offers a breathtaking view of the Palais des Papes.

The café is reserved for visitors with an entrance ticket (full price €9, reduced price €7.50) or an Annual Gardens/Exhibitions Pass. This Pass offers unlimited access to the garden, temporary exhibition rooms, and the Hortus café for one year (during opening times) and offers a reduced rate for accompanying persons.

Open from 10 a.m. to 17:30 p.m., from April to September (except Mondays).
Chef Alexia Buonvino offers an ever-delightful menu of ultra-fresh sweet and savory snacks made with local produce.
You will also find fruit juices, iced infusions and ice creams on the table of this gourmet terrace, very popular with visitors, throughout the day.

Like the little "Proust madeleine," the recipes created by Alexia Buonvino aim to rediscover this taste for simplicity, with emotions bursting from these recipes concocted with passion. Her expertise has also been recognized by the reference in the plant-based culinary world, the "Green Guide, We're smart," distinguishing her among the best vegetable restaurants, with 3 radishes. It's all about the art of transforming vegetables into a veritable feast, with creative, healthy, and above all delicious recipes. Receiving this award by surprise, Alexia Buonvino is very happy to see that veganism, today, can be considered haute cuisine.
