He did not appreciate that in the 40 degree weather, we preferred water over wine. One waitress also seemed constantly confused over what we ordered. The other waitress was very cold. We ordered the 'Feed Me' menu to be able to discover a variety of tastes which we much appreciated. However, neither the menu nor the waitresses took the time to explain what exactly it entailed. To this day, I am unsure if we got all we paid for. Go for the sublime food and put up with the rest.

The charms of the concept and the place had soon collapsed. The dishes are elaborate and inventive, but not necessarily successful. simplicity sometimes takes over the taste, to create simplistic dishes rather than tasty. At the price of the bites, we expect better. In the end, 10% error on the note, and disappointment of a meal that is far from the ambitions displayed.

Unfortunately a bad note, the restaurant didn’t register my booking and i was left at 9.30 without restaurant in Arles. read more Unfortunately a bad note, the restaurant didn’t register my booking and i was left at 9.30 without restaurant in Arles.

We did one vegetarian and one regular tasting and found both to be worth it and we were full. We also added the cheese plate which I highly recommend and the wine pairings. Coming from St, Tropez the price was reasonable for us but yes it is pricier than some other places in Arles, due to the aesthetic of the food. The only odd food to us was the sweet onion as dessert, but maybe we are not used to this as Americans.
