Brasserie Les Arcades - Sisteron

My wife and I stopped in on a sunny afternoon about 2.30 pm today, we wanted water so asked in our best French. We were given 2 glass bottles of vittel, 25cl no less. We asked to see a menu only to be told there were closed even though a French couple ordered not 1 minute prior to ourselves sitting down. When we asked for the bill the waiter said €6, we thought he was joking. €6 for 2 tiny bottles of water, when we questioned him he hung over the table looking like he wanted a fight. We begrudgingly paid and said to ourselves to always be more careful. We went down the road to a boulangerie who couldn't do enough for us. Only takes one bad apple to spoil a town. Avoid people.

They did serve chocolate mousse with pieces of glass inside. For your health it is better to avoid this place! A real shame!

Although we never ate here we decided to call and have a drink after a meal elsewhere, I asked both the waitress and the owner for a wine menu to receive puzzled looks. I am still kicking myself for just ordering a bottle of red and accepting what came. There was a little thought at the back of my head saying " you have dropped a clanger here" so I asked the waitress for the bill. Three times I asked the waitress but no " addition " . Eventually I had to ask the owner to. E told 25 euros, now don't get me wrong I have no issue in paying for good wine but this wasn't it. I asked again for proof of the price to be shown a wine menu which had been mysteriously absent earlier. There it was at 25 euros the dearest wine they had. When will people learn that ripping tourists off catches up with them.As previous far too many nice restaraunts and bars with good people Avoid avoid avoid

We arrived in Sisteron at mid-day wanting a simple lunch. We saw that they had Croque Monsieur with salad and frites. How can you go wrong with Croque Monsieur?! Everything goes wrong when it is a frozen product (not made at the Brasserie) on tasteless white bread and then served with the ham still frozen - not just cold but frozen. Avoid this place at all costs.

The best bar in sisteron around miles. big times had frank and adrian! always happy and entertaining!
