It's a great location to eat in front of the beautifully restored Town Hall. Even better when the…read moremarket is on, with all the hustle and bustle around. There are plenty of tables outside and, for a pleb like me, a good opportunity to get stuck in to some damn good burgers after a couple of weeks of continental food. For the smokers, the ashtray is the floor. Prices are very reasonable (especially after a week in Switzerland) and the portions are huge. Cheap, cheerful, food you can associate with and a superb location. Well worth turning off the autoroute for.

Much better than the one in Calais. Good food, decent beer selection. Free WiFi. Well worth a visit.read more

Unfortunately it seems that most of the bars in Arras are on the tacky side of tacky, and this one…read moreis no exception. Okay, it is just across from the railway station, and does make a better place for a coffee than actually going into the station, but then again there wasn't all that much in the railway station (maybe a takeaway stand and that was about it). One of the main reasons that I came here was first of all form my morning coffee, and also I wanted to visit some place that wasn't the hotel. As a place to sit down for a coffee while waiting for the train, it is okay, but not hugely fantastic. Then again, this is Arras.

I ended my culinary experience here with the cheesecake and a big smile on my face. Thank you Mezzaluna!
