Le Grillon - Arles

Charming restaurant overlooking the Roman arena in old town Arles. Served by 'le patron ' the menu is simple, varied and affordable. And the beer refreshingly chilled!

The restaurant nearly touches the Arena. You have a nice view from the terrace. I had a good dinner with 'salade camarquaise ' and 'a steak of a bull '. But the menu has good alternatives. It is for sure the atmosphere that gives you the feeling of being in Arles.

My dinner was a pasta with prawns serving. The pasta seemed fresh, and there was lots of it. The prawns were also plentiful, and they were plump, juicy, and very tasty. Add a glass of wine and a great view of the Ampitheatre, and you've got a very nice end-of-day meal. Service was friendly and fast, and the price was quite reasonable. Just around the corner from Le Calendal, it is easy to find and worth your time.

We sat outside next to the Amphitheatre. The service was excellent and the food came very quickly and was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend for a simple, unfussy meal in a lovely location.

The restaurant is situated opposite the arena. We had a crepe with ham, cheese and mushrooms and a side salad, which was enormous!! The service was prompt and courteous.
