They technically closed at 1:30 and I think we arrived at 1:25, but we're welcomed in with no issues. There were also people seated after us. They also had this apparently strange (in France) contraption called air conditioning! Our waiter was very friendly and spoke better English than most - he even made a joke that I almost missed. Our food came out very quickly, but of course it was also pretty simple. The chicken Cesar had a ton of chicken and was very good as was the charcuterie plate that I managed to finish myself. A great little place that I would recommend - I would certainly return if in the area again

Except we were all à bunch of starving animals and weird paste on bread was not in the least fulfilling. This place might be good for lunch or a quick snack (reminiscent of all the tiny open face sandwiches I've eaten I central Europe) but coming here for a heavy dinner is a big mistake. Maybe if you're are a skinny French girl who only eats a salad for dinner, then this place is for you. The food here is good, but I can hardly imagine wanting to eat this stuff in general. Don't ready my review. I'm clearly not the right audience for this food.

This is a local restaurant south of Arles in the Camargue region of Provence. It is a homey place…read moreoff D37 that has been here for decades. They serve foods of the Camargue, family style. The menu has an entree (appetizer), a plat (main course) and dessert for 50 Euro (about $50/person). Drinks are extra. This amount includes all service. No additional tip is required. I started with an apertif of Pastis. It is a licorice & anise flavoured drink at 45% alcohol. Their version is more licorice. My appetizer is a vegetable & meat charcuterie with sausage, pate and cornichons. We also had anchoiade, an anchovy paste in olive oil which is excellent non-fishy spread on vegetables and a rare delicacy, Poutargue which is dried Bluefin tuna roe. It has a dense texture and is protein rich. It is available in this area for 200 Euro/kilo or in Japan. My main course was Camargue beef broiled outdoors on a wood fire cooked medium rare with lentils and potatoes. The meat was tender and wonderful. I paired my meal with a bottle of Camille Cayran 2020 Le Pas Ne La Beaume Cotes du Rhone. A slightly sweet red wine made with Grenache, Syrah and local varietal Carignan for only 30 Euro. For dessert, I had a poached pear with raspberries. They have a stage for performers. One of the Gyspy Kings lives in Arles and we got a concert.

The woman at the front desk of…read moreour hotel happily made a reservation for us, since pretty much everyone says you need a reservation to get a table there. She seemed to be on a first name basis with whomever it was on the other end of the line. It was warm enough to sit outside, and we were given the last table on the patio out front. The starters were a mixed bag. I ordered the octopus salad, which was bland and uneventful. My wife ordered an incredibly tasty leek salad with sardines and hazelnuts, which she happily devoured. But the highlight was the mains. I ordered what was basically a New York strip cooked medium rare in a morel mushroom sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection - and on the rarer side - while the sauce was very subtle, but you could still get a bit of that earthy, mushroomy flavor. I'd been craving a dish like this for several days, and it totally hit the spot. My wife's dish may have been even better: cornish hen bathed in a creamy, herb-infused sauce with freshly sautéed shitake mushrooms. My god this was delicious. The hen was amazingly juicy and tender, and generous amounts of rosemary and flat-leaf parsley made this dish explosively flavorful. The potent shitakes were rich and earthy, and perfectly suited/melded with everything else. For dessert, I had this chocolate thing with nougat inside and a nice caramel sauce, while my wife had this thing that was a pile of whipped cream and broken pieces of meringue with raspberries, raspberry coulis, and red currants. I liked mine better, but the wife's was light and refreshing, which suited the summer-like weather. And before we were halfway through our meal, the place was full. We saw the hostess turn away at least a dozen people, so good call on the reservation.
