Now, as we all know, the French can cook: it is in their blood -YES - we know that. But authentic Asian cuisine, especially Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine, is not as much about "good" cooking techniques as it is about authentic homegrown ingredients: original ingredients - from "the Land". This is where the "New Buffet" differs from the many dozens of other faux-Asian buffets in France. This place has the REAL INGREDIENTS. For one, IT'S BIG. This gives it a tremendous power to directly Import food, sauces, and condiments. For two, it has direct access to both the sea and to local farms, which allows it to include the very best local seafood, meat, and produce. And finally, it uses Asian chefs, who know what the F..ck they're doing. This is an astonishing Asian Buffet.

The food isn't exactly Vietnamese except for the spring rolls. The beef & rice dish & the Pad Thai tasted more Chinese. Having said that, the food did taste good & flavourful. Price was reasonable. It was good to have something stir fry instead of deep fried. I found out they had broccoli, will get a dish if broccoli the next time. If you are dying for some Asian food, your go to is Hanoi.

L'Apsara delivers delicious classic dishes in both traditions. My husband ordered the large portion Bo Bun and I had the chicken Pad Thai noodles. Both dishes were served with perfectly cooked noodles and quality ingredients, spiced just right. However, the highlight was our shared entree, the summer rolls (Les roulettes printemps), topped with chopped peanuts and served with a delicate sweet sour spicy vinegar dipping sauce. These three dishes along with a carafe of chilled rose totaled only 36 euros! Great, friendly service, too. Highly recommended.

At first, I didn't have high expectations about Asian restaurants in a touristy town in France…read more When my airbnb host told us that this was the BEST Asian restaurant, I didn't take it seriously. I had traveled in France and Barcelona for almost two weeks by then, and I had been craving for Korean--but not an option--or any spicy Asian foods. This restaurant IS amazing! I have to say that the food that we had was better than most Asian restaurants anywhere in the US or other cities. The fresh summer roll was excellent and the wok dishes (beef and seafood) were perfect! While we were in Arles for three nights, we went back to this restaurant every single day. The staff was very kind, but if you go there for dinner, the service might be slow.
