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.

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.

1 month ago(Translated by Google) For the first time in my long experience as a gourmet who is very respectful of professionals, I regret having to publicly criticize what I found on my plate yesterday at Lou Marqués.
First of all, I should have been warned that the pan-fried foie gras announced in the recipe for the revisited pot-au-feu on the menu would be missing. It's the least you can do everywhere, but not in this case.
Then the appearance of the clear broth dotted with bites of mash should have been contradicted by the tenderness of the beef cooked long. It was not the case.
When, wanting to believe in a temporary distraction, I asked for a second marrow bone, in this prestigious room I was served a section taken from the flared end, almost entirely calcified. A bone to gnaw in some way.
To err is human but a restaurant associated with a 5-star hotel should not allow it to persist in such a direction.
This "revisit" was really not worth the detour but fortunately the quality of the service was better and the bossa nova snack at Jules César was much tastier.
Thanks to Mathilde and Rémi 😃
Pour la première fois de ma longue expérience de gastronome très respectueux des professionnels, je suis au regret de devoir publiquement critiquer ce que j'ai trouvé dans mon assiette hier au Lou Marqués.
Tout d'abord il aurait fallu me prévenir que le foie gras poêlé annoncé dans la recette du pot-au-feu revisité sur le menu serait absent. C'est partout la moindre des choses, mais pas dans ce cas.
Ensuite l'allure du clair bouillon parsemé de bouchées de purée aurait dû être démentie par le fondant de la viande de bœuf cuite en longueur. Ce ne fut pas le cas.
Quand voulant croire à une distraction passagère j'ai demandé un second os à moelle, dans cette salle prestigieuse on me servit un tronçon pris dans l'extrémité évasée, presqu'entierement calcififié. Un os à ronger en quelque sorte.
L'erreur est humaine mais un restaurant associé à un hôtel 5 étoiles ne devrait pas laisser persévérer dans une telle direction.
Cette "revisite" ne valait vraiment pas le détour mais la qualité du service fut heureusement meilleure et le goûter à la bossa nova au Jules César fut bien plus savoureux.
Merci à Mathilde et Rémi 😃
