Le Mazet du Vaccarès sur Arles

29/07/2026: Located in Petit Antonelle, tucked away parallel to the street, awaits a truly unique venue. It's essential to reserve a table by phone in advance and remember that they only accept cash. Currently, the restaurant is only open from Friday to Sunday (as of July 2026). We were there last Saturday and are still raving about it. Upon entering, you're greeted by Bob, his wife (?), and a consistently friendly service team. The tables are fully set, the first drinks arrive promptly, and shortly after, the appetizer is served in typical Camargue style: a platter with a kind of head cheese, various sausages, and bread. The somewhat unusual "decoration"—a basket of spring onions, baby zucchini, baby cucumbers, radishes, baby peppers, fennel, and other greens—is not merely decorative; it's an integral part of the appetizer and is eaten with the provided dressing. For the main course, there was a choice of four dishes (duck, steak, veal, chicken), each served with a bowl of delicious tossed new potatoes and lentils. The house dessert was a delicious homemade almond and pistachio cake with raspberries. All the food was of very high quality and prepared with care and professionalism. A band played fairly early on, and thanks to the audience, there was a really pleasant and lively atmosphere, with people singing along and even some dancing. A delicious, satisfying, and wonderful lunch/afternoon. We'd love to come back.

16/05/2026: A very warm welcome from the famous "Bob," who has a wealth of wonderful things to discover, accumulated over the years. A must-see!
