The 10 Best Brunch And Breakfast Spots In Arles, France

This one is a newly renovated restaurant just next to Parc des Ateliers in the east of the city. There are two things that get served particularly brilliantly here: cappuccino (which is not always a given in France, with the French preferring an espresso) and their house wok dish. A little random maybe for breakfast, but for a brunch it’s fresh and tasty. If you’ve been eating too many pastries on your trip so far, then you’ll surely welcome the change.

This is a cool spot elevated from the street so there’s not much road noise. Open from 8am, you can stop by here for an early espresso and croissant, or you could opt for a late brunch and choose off their lunch menu. This venue is a favourite for late-night shenanigans, which means during the day it is a good option as it’s more peaceful and there’s more space out on the attractive terrace area.

A French bakery always has to make it on a list of where to buy breakfast or brunch because for taste and flavour, they’re hard to beat. Boulangerie Soulier in the centre of Arles is just such a bakery, and it sells everything from breads and savoury pieces to sweet treats like pastries and gateaux. This boulangerie doesn’t have any seating, so why not take a leisurely stroll to the Jardin d’été? Délicieux…

Located very centrally in Arles – opposite the Tourist Information Centre to be exact – this coffee shop, with its chairs sprawling out onto the large pavement in front, is the perfect place to fuel up for your day of Arles exploring.
