What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Simple Simon offers a charming escape with its English tearoom ambiance, serving hearty brunch and delicious homemade cakes and teas. While many praise the quality of food and friendly staff, some reviews mention cramped spaces and occasional service issues with food preparation.
"Very unlikely and welcome find in such a deeply French region, this English team-room style restaurant serves incredible breakfast and lunch. Very-well done scones with proper ingredients. All the deserts were great. The esthetics and atmosphere will transport you straight to the Lake District and yet it feels strangely fitting in that cute street near by the Papal Palace."

"A little bit cramped, there's very little room to move your chair or comfortably get up if you need/want to. The brunch was good but nothing extraordinary, it felt slightly rushed and seemed poorly assembled. Regardless the staff was lovely and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant!"
Ezra Bournarie Rodriguez
"We were looking for a quick bite before catching our train back to Paris and stumbled upon Simple Simon. Miraculously they had enough space to fit two more. We ordered eggs with bacon, cafe au lait and their herby fries. Everything was delicious. I wish we had had room for dessert as the table with all of their offerings was beside us and each cake looked amazing. The cafe is eclectically designed with odd bits of antique floral pottery pieces. It’s cozy and comfortable, like sitting in your grandma’s kitchen but cool. The staff were lovely. Several diners were dining alone, so a nice place to come sit with a book and have a delicious brunch."

Restaurants in The Vaucluse
Since the 1970s, this quaint (there is no other word for it) English tearoom—dark wooden beams, teapots on shelves, a table laden with cakes and pies—has catered to locals and homesick expats, all of whom are intrigued by the pieman's tempting wares and properly brewed teas served in silver pots. Owned from the beginning by a Frenchwoman whose mother was English, Simple Simon is a real ode to British tradition, with Cornish salad, bacon and eggs, and hot dishes like shepherd's pie, cheese-and-onion crumble tart, or turkey hot pot at lunch. During the theater festival, it's also open for dinner.

Simple Simon looks French from the outside; with the typical Parisian-style awning and little pavement terrace. But this cafe appears British on the inside; with delicate tea sets and flowery table cloths. The atmosphere is hushed and cozy, perfect for a get-together with a friend for an afternoon chat.
