Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Arles

24/05/2026: Tucked away in the pedestrian streets of Arles, a delicious find with great service and food.

18/05/2026: There is no shortage of people praising the virtues of this restaurant but I want to add my experience as a humble Canadian with poor French language skills. We came very late in the evening (8 PM) with no resos and we fully expected to be turned away. Yet, the server took it upon himself to clear a disused table for us. Then, both him and the owner provided warm attentive service which left a great impression on us. The food itself was amazing (as per the reviews) and we consider the prices a bargain for what we got. White asparagus with creative pairings of sweet fruits, perfectly seared lamb that might make a lamb-skeptic believe, black pig that had us questioning if it was actually steak, too many hits to recount. This should be a definite on the list to visit in Arles, but make sure you make a reso a few days in advance unlike us.

29/05/2026: Excellent food and attentive service. We were here for lunch; there are several options (starter, main course, main course and dessert, or everything together). The prices are a bit higher than elsewhere, but the food is truly excellent. You get as much water as you want free of charge. Good English is also spoken for tourists. Highly recommended!

29/05/2026: Maybe the food is great, I don't know... But we arrived at 8:50 PM, and the chef saw the time and sent us away. Tables were empty and lots of people were still eating. Terrible reception. What problem do you have with time limits in Arles? In response to the owner: Given that the chef was still cooking and not cleaning, which is easily visible given the kitchen and the view, I consider his comment pointless, but I understand because I probably hit the nail on the head. If two people go to his restaurant, which, as is specified almost everywhere, closes at 9:00 PM, it means that at 8:50 PM, given the availability of tables, he could be slightly more flexible and welcome new customers who would surely have appreciated your cuisine and recommended it to friends like us, whether traveling for pleasure or business. But so it is! We walked around the corner and had a wonderful meal in a restaurant that wasn't in a hurry to clear the table because he, too, had already put in 10 hours of work.

20/05/2026: Try the poached cod it’s amazing! People are very kind and friendly. Service is fast, atmosphere is cozy. 10/10

19/05/2026: 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

16/04/2026: Friendly service and good food.

13/04/2026: Everything was perfect, from the welcome to the food. I highly recommend this establishment; 109% homemade.

28/05/2026: Had a wonderful meal here wish we had come earlier on our stay in Arles . Wonderful food and presentation and nice small plates. We chose a main dish and desert, easily could have had an appetizer but not knowing the size of the portions opted for less food. Must call out our wonderful waitress/sommelier who is friendly, knowledgeable and a great smile. Well worth a visit inside is romantic and cool but outside on the patio surrounded by by plants is also lovely.

26/05/2026: The food was delicious and the service was excellent! A highly recommended restaurant.

23/04/2026: A very nice place, pleasant staff and excellent food.

12/04/2026: The food was fantastic. We ordered the daily special, a steak with a unique sauce containing mushrooms and wood ear fungus. Special praise goes to their kids' meal; it was very thoughtful, featuring a special combination of meat, fries, and ice cream. The server even gave the kids lollipops afterwards – the service was warm and attentive.

09/05/2026: A must-try in Arles! A very friendly and dedicated team. The meal was excellent. Don't hesitate if you're looking for a lovely place to enjoy a quality meal in a pleasant atmosphere.

09/05/2026: A beautiful setting unfortunately let down by very average cuisine that lacks originality.

29/04/2026: A wonderful discovery! Fresh, local produce showcased beautifully. From appetizer to dessert, we were delighted! And the service was perfect. 👍🏻

27/04/2026: The staff are very friendly! The atmosphere is pleasant, as is the dining room. The food is very good. It was an excellent evening, thank you again!

16/04/2026: Delicious selection of top cheeses.

31/01/2026: Great products and truly exceptional service. I hardly speak any French, but the saleswoman immediately switched to English and helped me very kindly. She even carefully and airtight-packed everything so I could easily take the cheeses on the plane. You can immediately tell how much emphasis is placed on quality and customer service here. Highly recommended!

10/05/2026: We ordered the set menu and the food was fresh, including the homemade fries. I recommend this place.

27/04/2026: Two excellent burgers. Fast service, excellent homemade fries, I got them to go and they even offered me foil to keep them warm… the meat was top-notch, nothing to complain about… I recommend them

08/06/2026: Thank you for the exceptional service! Special thanks to Eric and Mateo who were so kind to our table :) We'll be back! Thanks again

01/06/2026: Good restaurant, the food was very good and the staff welcoming and attentive. Thank you to Eric for his kindness during service. We had a pleasant time and will definitely return.

11/05/2026: The table behind us was very noisy, so we hurried to eat and leave as quickly as possible. Our dishes were served fairly quickly. Unfortunately, I ordered a well-done steak, but it was completely raw inside. The staff was pleasant, which was a good point about the meal.

10/05/2026: We've been Buffalo Grill customers for years, but this visit was a real disappointment… The wait was incredibly long from beginning to end. The previous waitresses were always kind and professional, but this time we were served by a young, thin waitress with long, straight hair who was very unpleasant and haughty! When we finished our meals, she came to clear the table, holding out her hand and saying, "You can give it to me, I can't do it right now," in a frankly unfriendly tone. We let it go, but the worst part was when we ordered coffee: she literally threw the sugar packet on the table before leaving. Honestly, you're paid to do this job; there's no need to be so rude to customers! A minimum of respect and politeness is expected, especially towards loyal customers of many years. Very disappointing this time…

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!

05/05/2026: An authentic place with excellent quality local cuisine. Moreover, the musical ambiance adds so much charm to this place.

17/05/2026: A wonderful discovery! A very welcoming place, excellent service, and delicious cuisine made with expertly prepared ingredients. Special mention for the razor clam/beetroot and Asian broth appetizer – a truly delightful find!

14/05/2026: Perfect! From appetizer to dessert. Quality products, impeccable presentation and service. A truly wonderful discovery 💛

28/04/2026: A lovely little brasserie at the foot of the amphitheater, very nice, very good food, and a breathtaking view. Excellent servers. Highly recommended.

28/04/2026: Appalling welcome! I came in for a drink with a smile, and the chef spoke to us like we were dogs! I'll never come back here! Is it so difficult to smile at customers, or even say hello?
