Refined cuisine and elegant setting embodying the Camargue in central Arles

  • Camargue specialities

  • Local, organic and seasonal produce

  • Décor styled by Christian Lacroix

  • In the historic quarter of Arles

When visiting Arles, stop by for a gourmet historic break at Lou Marquès restaurant, set in an old convent dating from the 17th century. In a welcoming setting designed by Christian Lacroix, you'll discover local flavours in our dishes, from confit of bull beef to rice dried by the sun and wind of the Camargue.

Named after the pioneering Camargue settler, Marquis Folco de Baroncelli, our restaurant showcases this beautiful region, firstly in its colourful, contemporary decoration, full of historic references to Roman times and to the Camargue's cowboys. Secondly, and most importantly, for its refined and balanced cuisine full of Provençal flavours.

Savour our signature recipe, langoustine risotto served with organic rice grown in the Camargue. Our desserts will enliven your taste buds too, with such delights as candied orange in a Grand Marnier crêpe or caramel ice cream flavoured with local fleur de sel.

Rosemary, sage and mint, the aromatic herbs from the garden in the old cloister, perfectly complement our delectable dishes. Our chef, Joseph Kriz, also uses regional producers like the Mas du Trident cheese factory, known for giving new life to the traditional Tomme cheeses of Arles.

Lou Marquès restaurant has long been a favourite haunt of passing visitors and local couples. Like them, you can take a seat in the warm ambience of our welcoming designer bar, or relax on the pretty, streetside terrace and sample a Madame Lacroix Spritz  our recreation of her favourite cocktail, or a beer from Gardians Brewery.

A famous couturier

Christian Lacroix was a regular in our restaurant and also created its distinctive décor. In 2014, he redesigned Lou Marquès, giving it a typically Camargue theme, and while preserving the character of this historic building, introduced a noticeably contemporary style.

Chef Joseph Kriz has known regional products inside out for 30 years, and will delight your taste buds with combinations inspired by flavors from the Camargue and Alpilles!

    (Translated by Google) On the terrace on a sunny day in the shade we were able to enjoy this moment, taking advantage of easy parking in the city center on a square with valet parking, this place with an original decor fits perfectly with quality cuisine at the dessert inspired by trompe l'oeil. Great time that I recommend

    En terrasse par une journée ensoleillée à l’ombre nous avons pu apprécier cet instant, profitant d’une facilité pour se garer en plein centre-ville sur un parvis avec voiturier, ce lieu avec une déco originale colle parfaitement avec une cuisine de qualité au dessert inspiré en trompe l’œil. Formidable moment que je recommande

    (Translated by Google) Good value for money and good service even if slightly slow.
    We ate very well (the red mullet dish was original and full of flavors) and the gourmet coffee is really delicious because there are lots of homemade sweets to accompany the coffee
    To do again without hesitation

    Bon rapport qualité prix et bon service même si légèrement lent.
    Nous avons très bien mangé (le plat de rougets était original et plein de saveurs) et le café gourmand est vraiment gourmant car il y a beaucoup de mignardises maisons pour accompagner le café
    A refaire sans hésiter
