Mon Bar Bistrot & Tabacco — Restaurant in Arles

Food was fine but waiting almost 2 hours for it was not. Having ordered taco's was told 20 minutes later there were no taco's. How they didn't know that at the time is beyond me. Ordered a burger instead and then watched tables who came in a good half hour after us order and be served their food. After 90 minutes we questioned the time waiting to be told they'd run out of the dish of the day, which my wife ordered, and it was having to be remade. When we arrived there was only 3 other tables occupied. How do you run out of dish of the day? To compensate we were offered another bottle of wine as we'd finished the one we ordered. What we got was our old bottle half filled with an inferior wine. When we paid we were told the chef was working on his own. Sorry but having been literally the 3rd order of the evening they should have dealt with our order rather than serve the 7 tables who arrived after us. Plenty of other choices in the square, try...

We stopped in at Mon Bar to get some late breakfast and I was in the mood for eggs. They only had one egg dish and I tried my best to translate to see what it was. The staff helped me with smiles on. They spoke very little English and I spoke very little French. They made a lot of effort to help us. A young man walked in and translated for both sides which is when I found out all of their food and Wine was locally sourced, I was thrilled about this. My wife ordered the Vegetarian Pasta and a coffee, the other option would have been Muscles and pasta. I ordered the egg dish and a glass of Rose. We really were not sure what to expect from our choices. The food and Rose were amazing. We would highly recommend this place. Staff and...

We ordered one drink that was clearly watered down. We immediately said we did not want to drink it and did not wish to pay for it, as the taste was obviously off.

Instead of addressing our concern, the staff laughed at us. When the bill arrived, there was no discussion possible – we were simply told we had to pay.

The owner then became rude, poured a new glass in front of me and pressured me to drink it, supposedly to prove “nothing was wrong.” It was uncomfortable, intimidating, and extremely unprofessional.

On top of that, the food was overpriced for the poor quality we received. It’s obvious this place is a tourist trap, focused more on making quick money than offering any real service or value.

Definitely not...
