Aux Petits Singes
Little visitors will be delighted by this adorable 'children's restaurant' where they can sit at tiny tables, play with toys and games, and enjoy their own special menu of a drink, main dish and a 'surprise' (chocolate or similar). Grown-ups' choices range from charcuterie (cold meats) to tartes, salads and soup. Everything - including the cakes - is home-made.

Jardin des Arts
Opening out to a leafy cloister courtyard adjoining the Espace Van Gogh, this fresh new establishment is popular with locals for light but luscious lunches, and is a hot spot on Saturday nights when it also swings its doors open for dinner. During July and August it doubles as an afternoon salon de thé from 14:00 to 19:00; and artisan ice creams tempt passers-by.

L'Atelier
Consider this not a meal, but an 'artistic experience'. Every one of the seven or 13 edible works of art is a wondrous composition of flavours, colours and textures, and no two bites are the same. Sit back and revel in Jean-Luc Rabanel’s superbly crafted symphony of fresh organic tastes. No wonder this charismatic chef with his own veggie patch has two Michelin stars. Wine pairings are an adventure in themselves.

Lou Marques
Gastronomic treats at the Hôtel Jules César's sumptuous restaurant, within a former 17th-century Carmelite convent, include a fine variety of foie gras, a St-Jacques risotto with red Camargue rice, and a Grand Marnier soufflé served with cool chocolate sorbet.

Au Brin de Thym
Market-fresh produce is made to look like a work of art at this pretty place fronted by a lavender and white awning and damask-clothed tables. The Provençal menu is a great way to sample creative dishes laced in local olive oil, and there's a strong wine list.

Le Gibolin
Sup on peerless home-cooking while the friendly patroness bustles between tables, offers ladies fresh roses and her Jack Russell terrier nips at her heels. A wine bar, really, the pairings are magnifique. No credit cards.

L'Autruche
This modern, inviting restaurant run by husband-and-wife team Fabien and Ouria assembles market-fresh dishes to perfection. For example, their Michelin-experienced chef layers thin strips of granny smith apple chutney with a superbly prepared foie gras. Extravagant desserts are a treat.

La Chassagnette
Inhaling the scent of sun-ripened tomatoes is one of many pleasures at this 19th-century sheepfold – the ultimate Camargue dine. Alain Ducasse–prodigy Armand Arnal cooks up a constantly changing 100% organic menu, grows much of it himself and woos guests with a mosquito-protected outside terrace. Look for the fork and trowel sign, 12km southeast of Arles on the southbound D36.

Café la Nuit
The Roman place du Forum, shaded by outstretched plane trees, turns into a giant dining table at lunch and dinner during summer. It's also where you'll find Café la Nuit, thought to be the café painted by Van Gogh in his Café Terrace at Night (1888). Painted bright yellow to re-create the effect used by Van Gogh to indicate bright night-time lights, it's invariably packed with tourists dining in front of its famous façade.
