Le Criquet sur Arles

Generous and authentic cuisine. Very pleasant and quick service. Everything was delicious... our chosen dishes: the seafood casserole, the fennel salad with aioli, and the grilled octopus. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

We had dinner at this "small" restaurant, which offers cuisine worthy of the finest establishments. It was simply excellent! The menu is intentionally small, but it guarantees high-quality appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Each dish is carefully prepared, and the flavors are truly exceptional. The kindness and warm welcome of this family add even more charm to this restaurant. A wonderful discovery that we wholeheartedly recommend!

Passing through Arles, we found this restaurant on Google based on reviews. And indeed, we weren't disappointed. The welcome was very friendly, the decor authentic, and the cuisine simple but effective and very good. For my first experience with gardiane (a traditional Arlesian stew), I was very satisfied, and the staff were all smiling. It was a real pleasure, and I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic! The food is amazing, all local produce, and the service is top-notch. The place is beautiful. We loved it. I highly recommend it.

A very warm welcome and excellent cuisine.

Beautiful restaurant just above the Arena. Traditional cuisine, yet refined with a modern twist. A good wine list and good service, despite the busy and popular weather.

Fantastic restaurant where the warm welcome and delicious food made a lasting impression. We highly recommend it!

Excellent food! Super! Excellent service! Everyone was smiling and very welcoming. Really lovely restaurant. I absolutely recommend it to everyone! Congratulations!

An excellent restaurant in Arles, which I highly recommend. We walked past around 7 pm to look at the menu. The restaurant was already on our shortlist, but we hadn't made a reservation. During the Rencontres d'Arles photography festival, I strongly advise you to book, as the restaurant fills up very quickly. We were lucky enough to find a table for two still available inside. The dining room is air-conditioned, with a perfectly balanced temperature: neither too cold nor too hot, which is very welcome in the summer. For starters, we enjoyed a cucumber gazpacho, which was very fresh and flavorful. My only minor criticism was that there was a little too much sauce for my taste, but this didn't detract from the quality of the dish. The octopus salad was also excellent. For our main course, we chose the octopus tentacles, which were perfectly cooked. Not being able to eat spicy food, I asked for the Espelette pepper to be removed, and my request was accommodated without any difficulty. Such thoughtfulness is always appreciated. Special mention goes to the waitress, who was energetic, smiling, and very attentive. She truly takes care of her customers with great professionalism and kindness. A second server, who seemed to divide his time between the kitchen and the dining room, also came to make sure everything was going smoothly. To finish, we shared a red fruit pavlova and a lemon meringue-style dessert with crumble: two very successful desserts. The Camargue white wine that was recommended to us perfectly complemented the meal. The service is quick, the staff is welcoming, and the menu is well-balanced, with enough choices without being overwhelming. A wonderful discovery. We will gladly return.

The service and food were exceptional, I’m gluten intolerant and the lady that served us helped me with the dishes I could eat
