Le Rabelais

Reviewed By ChristineMargaret

This restaurant is one of the few to choose from in Arles. It's on the main square, Place Henri Barbusse. The menus offered sounded reasonable and good, but the food was a great dissapointment. I chose a two course meal and paid a 4 Euro surcharge for the seafood main course. The seafood appetizer actually had more seafood than the main course and they described the main course as having "seches" plural when actually it had about 1/3 of a single cuttlefish. I also paid a premium for an AOC wine which was the least interesting wine I've ever tasted. I can't imagine why they have it on the menu, except that they get a good deal on it. The service was rather chaotic and the menu on a huge (6' tall) chalk board which they kept moving around the crowded restaurant. At one point one of the waiters knocked it over and whacked a customer on the head with it! Skip this place.

Le Ricochet

Reviewed By dkbe

We had the menu @24,90 and were satisfied: good food, cooked to order, generous portions. Staff was friendly and efficient (don‘t know how it would have worked without French, there were no other tourists).Prices are very reasonable also for the wines. Choice is limited, but we were happy with the local Red.

le Coq Hardi

Reviewed By Kathy K

What a surprise. Recommended by our hotel. Small, busy restaurant very French, lots of locals. Absolutely charming. Not pretentious. Very little English spoken. Very cheap. 15 euro for a plat du jour with entree, main, and dessert? Unheard of at dinner. Reservations a must. Mostly locals. That says it all. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and if we were staying longer in Ales, we wouldn't even bother trying anything else.

Le Riche Restaurant

Reviewed By ASEPOST

Wine card focused on some of the outstanding local wine growers. One of the nicest wine cards in the Gard. Dishes delicious, nice choice of menu's. Very friendly and correct service. Chef Sébastien Rath came by after lunch to have a talk with each of the tables. Restaurant was all booked. For travelers the Hotel and Restaurant is located opposite the railway station. Very nice decorated since the renovation. Acoustics top quality! Menu changes regularly. My entree with Quinoa méditerranéen, feta, tomates sechées et poivrons was delicious.Dear guest, We are delighted to see that you enjoyed your lunch. We try to get a varied and local winecard with many choices. Our menus are changed regularly according to the different seasons and our "menu bistronomique" change by all week.We look forward to welcoming you again,The Riche Hotel team

Restaurant Le 5

Reviewed By RobPasc

This small unpretentious restaurant is dedicated to excellent cuisine and gracious hospitality. Their small but varied and changing menu meets all tastes with refined honest dishes and ample portions. The charming and down-to-earth owners are a couple managing the entire operation themselves. They are proud and successful to provide high quality cuisine to only 20 very content diners for lunch and dinner, period. No attitude, no ambitions for aggrandizement, unwieldy arrogant personal, or culinary product franchising.The 3 course menu can't be beaten for quality and value. We ordered 3 different meals and everything was good. I especially like the first course of 'Pêche du moment, nage au safran', and the chef's dessert surprise, 'Le dessert du 5'.I can't wait to go back again.Reservations absolutely essential.

Le Jardin Cevenol

Reviewed By Becky M

Popular for their extensive choice of salads, this restaurant is busy every night. If you arrive early (before 7.30pm) you might just be lucky to get a table without a reservation, after that you might be disappointed as it fills up quickly every evening. The food is generally very good, though to be fair the two salads that I chose on different nights (The Louisiana and the Indienne) were rather lacking in flavour which was a little disappointing as I had hoped that they would pack more of a punch. However, the ingredients are all very fresh and presentation is excellent.

Le Mandajors

Reviewed By Brassed_Off_Jynxed

This long standing classic French family run restaurant, with superb freshly cooked local cuisine, was a gourmets and locals delight. On this Friday evening about a dozen locals, mainly couples ate happily together.The waitress took time to explain the content and nature of the courses from the varied menu. All the dishes were delivered piping hot [apart from the sorbet naturally] and also delivered in a timely, unhurried fashion. Therefore the meal was delicious and a pleasure to eat. Local wine also complimented the food and rounded off the evening, finshed up with fresh coffee natuarlly.

Epices et Tout

Reviewed By Ann A

My family was visiting Ales during the festivities surrounding Bastille Day. While wandering along the river front, we saw this clean fashionable restaurant right in the middle of some very mundane fast food shops. Just for the heck of it we stopped to see the menu. We decided to take a chance and are we glad we did. The Formulae Menu for the evening was excellent and so perfectly cooked and presented. It was by far the best meal we've had in France this year. Coudos to the chef and the very bright and cheerful staff.
