"Absolutely worth a nice long lunch if you’re in the area. We took the bus down from Arles (very easy and inexpensive at €1 per journey). A small menu of locally sourced, high quality specialities. Very friendly staff and a beautiful setting. Well worth the price for the attention to quality. The riz de Camargue was excellent, and the house white (also local) was very good. Cash only!"
