Hostellerie des Arenes

Went there for the location, unbeatable at the foot of the arenas. It looked like a traditional auberge and the weather on the lovely terrasse was idyllic. We chose the most expensive set menu. We waited half an hour for a goat cheese salad consisting of oil soaked iceberg, half a tomato and cheap processed goat cheese on two old croutons. Next my dorade arrived completely raw and cold; I returned it and it came back 30 mns later half cooked. My husband lamb consisted of a few morsels of tough meat, so greasy he could not eat it. Ratatouille was canned. The pictures of the dishes on the website are fake. Bread was a horrible stale french stick. We gave up after that. The waitress was lovely...

We have visited this restaurant twice this week. Both times we were so impressed by the helpfulness and good humour of the lady who was serving. On Tuesday there were lots of people and she served them all with energy and friendliness. I have recently been diagnosed coeliac and have to have gluten free food. This is often quite tricky to find especially in French restaurants but here there are a couple of options. The cod was absolutely delicious, and my husband has had the beef stew and the rabbit, both of which he thoroughly enjoyed. I really recommend this restaurant.

In search of a decent meal in Arles I found this place right next to the Roman arena in Arles. They offer several menus (set menus) and a full menu à la carte. Very traditional, simple dishes of good quality. Very much enjoyed this surprisingly good restaurant among the tourist-focused offerings of Arles

We shared a really good homemade chicken liver pate. Then my partner had the Taurus stew, again well cooked, hot and tasty. I ordered prawns which were quite disappointing, only received four and they were tasty but over cooked for my taste. Usual tourist wine list.
