Le Tambourin sur Arles

The last real bar in town, unfortunately

I wanted a local specialty: the Salade camarguaise. In my opinion, the rice is the basis of the salad. It came accompanied by pickled anchovies. I come across many recipes online where cucumber is a key ingredient. Here, I counted 'no less than' four slices of cucumber and four halves of cherry tomatoes. Oh, and 1 egg cut in half. The balsamic dressing was a bit bland, or perhaps too little had been drizzled over the salad. The rice didn't have much flavor, and the lettuce itself? Crispy. That is never good, because it means it hasn't been washed enough! The salad was served with bread. Was I satisfied? No. It was mediocre. Not refined, not sufficiently flavorful. Perhaps I should have ordered Taureau de Camargue, the bull stew, after all. The terrace was wonderful and cozy, overlooking, among other things, the subject of Vincent van Gogh's painting 'Night Café'; nowadays, Café La Nuit is called Café Vincent van Gogh. The service was friendly and hurried, but definitely adequate. In short, with a better salad I would have had a better lunch, but it was certainly pleasant on the terrace...

Excellent welcome. A wonderful Arles experience. We ate very well. The owner and her team were incredibly attentive and friendly. The beef stew and the bull steak were delicious. Thank you!

Quiet terrace, affordable beer, perfect for drinks with your partner or friends in the evening

Nice place to hang out with friends

Bathroom in the bar was the cleanest we had encountered plus it had a toilet seat. Drinks only for the bar area, and space outside under the tent for eating. Loved the melon salad!

dated café in Arles. unfriendly service

Great location if you can sit outside 👍 Very friendly service, fair prices. The beef tartare contained a bit too much sinew or similar, which shouldn't be there if it's made from high-quality meat. However, it was "au couteau" (with a knife). This means that the meat was cut into tiny cubes by hand with a sharp knife 👍😋

Had a great evening with live music and a bit of dancing. Band was great including superb drummer.
