Le Criquet sur Arles

Try the poached cod it’s amazing! People are very kind and friendly. Service is fast, atmosphere is cozy. 10/10

A meal shared between 7 members of a wine tasting group We had a superb meal here. This family run affair took care of us from the moment we set foot in the place till the end of the meal. The well chosen wine list complimented the dishes which were generous ,well cooked and all home made . This is the sort of restaurant you would return to each time you visit Arles.

While strolling through the old town, we stumbled upon this little gem. The outdoor seating area – a narrow alleyway leading to residential buildings, with its charming and typically southern French flair – immediately invited us to sit down. The service team wasn't quite ready to open yet, but the owner gave us an exceptionally warm welcome and invited us to stay. Such attentive, truly guest-focused service is a rare find. Le Criquet is a little jewel nestled between the ancient theater and the amphitheater. A small, exquisite menu featuring regional specialties, a relaxed ambiance, and a pleasantly unhurried atmosphere. It's exactly the kind of restaurant you discover by chance in Arles – and then immediately want to return to. What's particularly lovely is that, despite its central location, everything feels surprisingly peaceful and authentic, completely free of tourist traps. The cuisine is honest, fresh, and typically Provençal – with attention to detail rather than an overloaded menu. A place to arrive, breathe deeply, and savor the moment. Greetings from Germany

excellent traditional food and local wines.

Excellent food. We had the carpaccio and octopus salad as starters, and both ordered the beef as our main course... Outstanding! The service was first-class, friendly, and welcoming. If I could give six stars, I would!

Delicious food and outstanding service

A truly excellent restaurant! The welcome and service were on par with the cuisine. An intimate space in the heart of Arles.

They were very accommodating in finding us a table without a reservation, the service was friendly and welcoming, and the wait between courses was perfect. And above all, the food was delicious! Our plates, like those of the other tables, were completely empty, and we savored every last drop of sauce with our bread. Highly recommended.

Everything was delicious with a great ambiance and lovely staff.
