"Eating on the forum" Top 5 Page for this destination Arles Tourist Trap Tip by davequ

The forum in Arles is a wonderful hangout, one of my favorite places in the world. I enjoy just sitting in Cafe van Gogh etc. both day and night.

But I do not eat dinner there. This is just my opinion and my apologies to the cafes on the forum, but I find the food to be better and more fairly priced in places that are just a street or two away.

For me the forum cafes are for nursing a beverage & une fumée while you take in the atmosphere vibe and history.

To each his own. You can do worse than have a meal in the Arles forum.

One exception is the brasserie inside the hotel Nord Pinus.

Unique Suggestions: The forum is great, it is just my opinion that you will get a better value and quality of food for your euros if you venture a street or two outside the forum.

Fun Alternatives: See my Arles restaurant tips for alternatives.
