5 We had a really lovely meal at Les Arcades. The food was excellent – the rib eye steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour, while the chicken Milanese was another standout dish, beautifully prepared and delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout. A great dining experience that i’d happily recommend.
5 A really excellent meal in great surroundings, served by very good staff. Prices are very good. My maigret de canard was 14.50 and very enjoyable to eat. As was my chocolate mousse. As good as I make myself. Very reasonable pichet price of 50cl at 6 euros. Lots of choice on the menu. All in all, à very good place for an evening meal
5 We arrived in Sauveterre late Sunday afternoon. We were a group of 10, tired and hungry. The waitress was clearly stretched. However, she manged to accommodate us all, maneuvering tables for us to sit together. Even with some of our fussy eaters, and our lack of ability to speak french, she was very patient, and provided us a very tasty meal. We ate pizza/burgers/steak and carbonara, and they were well presented, very tasty and a fair price. Thank you again for looking after us.
4 Fair sized place with seating inside and out on the terrace next to the market (Tuesday) Not bad service, quick and friendly enough. I had fish and chips, the fish was pretty good although the chips were lacking a bit. Will try the burger tomorrow, ot it looked big and juicy.
4 Called in here on a bicycle ride. My order was taken quickly. Being the first sunny day in a while, it was a bit busy and my pizza was a while coming. But it was tasty, fresh and I made it to Bordeaux without eating another thing .
5 This was the only restaurant open on Sunday that offered traditinal french cuisine and we are very happy we came. All fresh, very delicious, friendly staff, large portions. Try cafe gourmant at the end. We took one and shared it... The creme brulee is yammy.
5 Beautifully classic French atmosphere and cuisine. Lovely service and lovely indoor or outdoor space on the square. Definitely recommend and plenty of food options! The cote de boeuf was amazing!
5 We had a lovely lunch at Les Arcades. We arrived close to the end of lunch service but were given a lovely welcome. Excellent pasta and salad mains, children’s menu very good and generous portions.
