Very basic breakfast - Edit
I had the Classique breakfast, which was the basic version.
Read moreIt had a juice, a hot drink (I went with espresso, though you could choose something else as well), and a few pieces of bread with spreads. Everything tasted alright, but not exceptional and I expected more for the price of 9€.
Service was very friendly though.

Simple food, very nice location - Edit
A vegan restaurant with a terrasse in the shade in Arles in summer was unexpected, so i really enjoyed my lunch there. Only two options, raw vegetables with a nice dressing and some rice or tarte aux légumes. A perfect place to relax between 2 exhibitions during the rencontres de la Photographie.
Read morePros: Nice location, 100% vegan and activist
Cons: Food not exceptionnal, Only two dish of the day, 16 euros is a bit expensive for a cantine

Very tasty veggie bowl - Edit
We arrived on a Monday at 2:30 pm and were told that we could not have lunch anymore, as they had ran out of fresh food for lunch (having served 60 guests).
Read moreLuckily, the chef still was friendly enough to make two veggie bowls, which were delicious. We also tried the flan pie and the chocolate cake, and both were very tasty and well made.
The drinks were somewhat plain: the lemonade with ginger did not have enough lemon or ginger in it, and the coffee macchiato was rather light in flavour. We did get some extra lemon in the lemonade, but after having troubled thema few times already we didn't want to ask them to make the macchiato stronger. We also ordered a hot chocolate; it tasted fine but was again rather light in taste. When the cup was almost finished, we noticed that all the cacao was at the bottom, unmelted. It would have been good if they had mixed it better.
We saw that they also made some fresh fruit and herb juices, but did not order them.
The chef and the waitress were very friendly and patient with us. Definitely a must-visit restaurant if you visit Arles, but make sure to request specific things for the drinks, as they do need adjustment.
Pros: Veggie bowls, Friendly service
Cons: The drinks require some improvement

Wonderful food and people! - Edit
We stopped in Arles on May 20th, (a public holiday). There were staff working, doing some maintenance, at Le VG D’Arles and so we were informed that the restaurant was closed. When one of the owners realized that we were vegan and looking for a place to eat lunch, she offered that we could eat lunch as she had made some extra meals (even though the restaurant was closed m). Our lunch was excellent and the owners and staff are lovely generous people. You meet the most wonderful, beautiful people at vegan restaurant!
Read morePros: Food that is delicious and healthy , Fabulous owners & staff, Super cute location

The food here is amazing. Clean, healthy, and delicious. The breakfast and lunch food is all fantastic. On the first day we were here, the restaurant was closed for a renovation, but the owners saw us looking and fed us anyhow. Don’t miss this place when you are in Arles.

Nice oatmilk latte - Edit
It is a rare find in the region, a fully vegan restaurant.
Read moreIt's perfectly located in downtown Arles and has a very nice atmosphere inside and in the garden too.
I wasn't sure whether I should order at the counter or if they pick up the orders at the table. Eventually, I ordered at the counter after waiting outside for a while.
It is written on the boards that card payment is from 15 EUR, but they let me pay for my coffee (5 EUR) by card.
Pros: Fully vegan restaurant , Nice atmosphere

Cute little place trying to do everything right - Edit
We came here in March for lunch and had the dish of the day (which was pumpkin, rice and salad) and a leek tart with salad. It's a cute place and we appreciated that they use organic and local produce as well as aim for zero waste. The staff was very nice and they explained the dishes in English. There's outdoor seating in the courtyard as well. Lovely place!

Organic and homemade - Edit
Seating is in a beautiful courtyard. They have choices of a dish of the day and 2 tartes/pies, all served with salad. The food was tasty and fresh, even the salad dressing was delicious!
Read moreThe tartes were a quiche made with tofu and a caramelised onion and aubergine tartlette. The assiette du jour was a macaroni ragu.
We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Good, could be better - Edit
The atmosphere of the plaza (which Da Vinci made a painting of) is amazing, and the server I had was quite kind. Definitely was busy around 2pm!
Read moreThey only had one “plat du jour” left, so I went ahead and ordered it. Like various other “plats” or “assiettes” I’ve had at vegan restaurants in France, it was essentially a bowl of half salad (crudité) and half grain. The salad was pretty good, nothing special but light and yummy. The rice stew (?) with tofu and tomatoes was also pretty, definitely not spicy at all but had some nice flavor.
However, even as someone who loves spice, I took great issue with the massive amount of pink peppercorns dumped on my food! Why was my little piece of baguette and tapenade smothered in peppercorns, so that when I bit into one, my mouth just flooded with pepper flavor, over and over? Either the chef made a mistake or they don’t put enough prep and testing into their changing menu (unsure if it changes daily or weekly).
I finished off my meal with an espresso, for a total of 18 euros. Pretty steep for a bowl of grains and veggies plus an espresso shot! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the food was pretty good, but does not warrant the price for me. If the bowl had more oomph in terms of protein, maybe beans or more tofu, and the flavor wasn’t so off from the peppercorns, I would choose to return. Their tartes look nice though, maybe I would get that (14 euro instead).
Overall, 4 stars. 3 stars for a decent vegan meal, 1 star for beautiful outdoor seating, and that last star is not filled due to price and peppercorns😡
EDIT: I have to deduct a star for a tarte with a mushy crust and a TERRIBLE matcha latte (tastes like I was drinking dirt water with spirulina powder to make it green for 5 euro).

Pros: Only vegan place in Arles, Healthy food
Cons: Flavor was off due to peppercorns all over, Price for what you get is too high, Horrible matcha latte

Great place to eat healthy and vegan - Edit
I went there in the morning and got a tarte with a salad, it was very tasty and felt very healthy and light. Also the place is very well placed in the old town, it's very cozy to sit outside.

Amazing vegan food in beautiful courtyard - Edit
This place is an absolute gem. Healthy, fresh homemade food in a small cafe with outdoor seating in a courtyard behind and on the street at the front. When we visited the options were smoked tofu tart and a green pea Dahl, and chocolate crème or a muffin as desserts.

Delicious, all-vegan gem in Arles - Edit
We really enjoyed our lunch here - there were two mains on offer and we each ordered one and shared. We loved both the veg lasagne and the veggie tart. Each came with generous, delicious and fresh salad. We were there a little off season so didn't have trouble walking in. Delicious pear tart for dessert, too! Staff were so nice, and told me they prepare different dishes every day based on available produce.

Cher et sans intérêt - Edit
Le cadre est agréable et l’équipe sympathique mais 15€ pour une « assiette du jour » qui est basiquement une salade avec 3 bouts de polenta frits c’est abusé. Les plats ne sont pas copieux. On en ressort déçu.es et affamé.es. Être bio et local ne devrait pas être une excuse pour des prix aussi élevés sans que la qualité (et la quantité) des plats suive.
