Cafe Georges - Arles

Our last day of a 2-week stay in Arles. We were wandering around looking for a place to have lunch on a Sunday afternoon. This was the perfect spot. Very pleasant food; service was friendly (we were Americans, communicating in fractured French). All other customers seemed to be locals. It was a nice, relaxing, leisurely meal.

We visited Arles and initially sat outside at a restaurant in the square. We were ignored and after 15 minutes left walking around the corner to Café Georges. How pleased we were, the food was exceptional, the wine of an excellent quality and above all we were welcomed and found the service really good.

We ate there this evening and had tuna, shrimp, snails, and boeuf tartare like I've never had before! Wonderfully spiced. A very nice Moroccan influence. (Plus, my eight-year-old daughter ate almost everything before I had a chance. If she likes it, I know it's good.) Service was excellent, and the cost was incredible -- for a meal that would have cost twice as much elsewhere. Worth the trip!

Nice small place with an upper view of the boulevard de lices. Plates are of a reasonable size. nice selection of local wines and dj's at the weekend. Saturdays lunch seafood. Very good

This was a great find. We were walking the Saturday market and just started to head back to our hotel when we stumbled on this superb local restaurant where all of the patrons were French; no tourists except us. The food, service and ambience were all superb. We had salads with tasty fresh ingredients, wine at a reasonable price and we sat back and enjoyed the people watching.
