If you find yourself in Saintes, either shopping or on a tour of the historic sites of the town,…read moreand need a bite to eat at lunchtime then you could do worse than call to the Cafe Brasserie Les Arenes. There is ample free parking across the street that you may use for shopping or sightseeing. We had been down at the Roman arena and took the path back to the town and came across this bar. On the boards outside, it advertised a three course lunch for EUR10.50, four course for EUR13.00. We took the smaller menu. My main course was a beef brochette with salad and chips; dessert was a fine slice of lemon tart and we finished off with a decent cup of coffee, all for EUR10.50! Service was efficient and friendly and there are toilets in the back. It was the first of a few calls.
