Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Arles

18/04/2026: It used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Arles, but yesterday's dinner changed my mind… While the service remained impeccable and the prices very reasonable, we were very disappointed by the food: a sangria that was sangria in name only, a small and very ordinary chocolate fondant, a pork dish so full of fat and gristle that it was inedible… all served in a vaulted room/cellar that could be very nice but has terrible acoustics that make conversation almost impossible… I won't be going back anytime soon. What a shame, it used to be so good…

04/04/2026: Delicious late lunch - very accommodating staff. Highly recommend this tucked away sweet spot.

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

24/04/2026: Good food, pleasant and well-maintained setting, impeccable service. A very nice experience that I recommend without hesitation.

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

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.

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.

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!

26/04/2026: We had a great dinner here! We've ordered two entrances and two main plates. Everything was delicious! The highlight was the chocolate mousse. It was incredible! The service was also amazing.

09/03/2026: Finally, as soon as you open the door, you can smell the real cooking, and frankly, it's a delight. The dishes are delicious. I treated myself to some bone marrow. As well as perfectly cooked calf's liver with a reduced jus, green lentils, and homemade mashed potatoes. The quality/price ratio is very, very good at €30. I'll have to come back to see you and try everything on your menu. See you very soon!

27/04/2026: Good service, good burger, good fries and a fair price!

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

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!

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…

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?

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 💛

04/05/2026: Great personal experience, very pleasant and delicious hot chocolate, I highly recommend this establishment

21/04/2026: We all ordered different dishes and everything was excellent, even for a vegetarian. The food was well-prepared, fresh, and original. The waitresses were friendly and pleasant. Thank you to the team!

16/09/2025: An exceptional meal!!! Delicious and hearty dishes. The chef strives to please his customers. We ate at this restaurant twice, in August and September. Each time, we experienced a rare moment. The chef manages to make classic dishes (for example, the salt cod brande or the celery remoulade) exceptional.

08/09/2025: In a city that loves blended cuisine, there remains an indomitable chef who delights everyone with dishes full of Southern flavors! Jean-Luc Rabanel eschews trends in favor of precise and very gourmet cuisine. The dishes are generous! We'll be back!
