torturing the diners

Excellent food just a street or two north of the Forum. All the locals in Arles cruise this avenue like sharks at 7pm to see what they are serving that evening.

My new, Arles, high-end favorite now that L'Olivier is closed.

Eat early out on the terrace at 19:30.... it fills up quickly.

During the early part of dinner, a couple of local 'musicians' crashed the terrace and started playing classical dinner music, all slightly off-key.
Everyone on the terrace was either trying not to laugh or pretending it wasn't happening, and it was actually quite funny. The bearded & slightly-strange violinist would make eye contact with the diners, nod and smile as he played (expecting a gratuity I suspect) making it even more like a situation comedy.
Sid Caesar himself could not have written & performed a more humorous bit.

After a couple of songs and a few heavy sighs from my fellow diners, our serenaders were finished and strolled up rue du Docteur Fanton, off to what I assume was another restaurant.

To me it was actually quite fun, and I would appreciate it even more next time, if nothing else to savor (along with my appetizer) the reactions of the lucky customers on the terrace.

Favorite Dish: Fois gras, Cotes de Veau, fromage,

& you can't go wrong with anything that is on the prix fixe menu.
Excellent food and service.
