Isn't it a requirement to have crepes while in France?? This creperie not only has crepes, but…read moresalads, sandwiches, and burgers as well. Oh, and they have good coffee too! They are located right on the main drag in Old Town Istres about two blocks up from the tourism office. Their crepes are filling and mine came with a side salad for just under 9 euro. I definitely recommend stopping by this restaurant for a crepe and a coffee.

We just had the best meal since coming to France at Le Jardin d'Amalula (The Garden of Amalula)…read more When we asked the owner what Amalula means, she said it is a contraction of the first names of her daughters: Amandine, Lucile, and Laurine. Laurine is the chef. The outside of the restaurant is inconspicuous; in fact, we walked right past it. But you walk down a corridor, through a small courtyard, and then into the small restaurant. But it's the garden out back that is beautiful. That's where we sat. My wife had Le Provençale, a tartine (toast) with bush cheese, red fruits jam, dried figs, dried tomatoes, and parma ham (like prosciutto). Delicious! I chose the plat du jour based on the owner's recommendation. Not sure what it's called but it was a tartine with tuna tartare & passion fruit, chutney with mango, pineapple, & red pepper, slices of avocado, and orange zest with pink berries. I don't know how they do it. Amazing flavor combinations. Glad we found this place with plenty of time to go back another time or two. Highly recommend!

Main course was around 17 Euros. So for the quality it's a steal.

My boyfriend and I ate here for dinner during our trip to France, and it was honestly my favorite…read moremeal of the trip. In France, I always hope for fresh, simple, but excellent food - bread, wine, and cheese - and this was everything I was looking for! We had the melon and prosciutto plate and the cheese plate, with bread of course, as well as a couple glasses of wine. The owner recommended a great white wine as well as a rosé (it was a hot evening, so the chilled whites and rosés hit the spot). They were delicious. As an added bonus, the location is fantastic! It's right next to the Roman arena - very cool view while eating. As a final pleasant surprise, the bill was far less than we were expecting for the quality of the wine. This place has great quality for a great value, the owner was friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. Highly recommend!

It's a small place, so it may be difficult to find a place to sit if the weather is bad, but I'm pretty sure you can also get your food to go. Worth walking a couple extra blocks for the quality of the food and the reasonable prices. (And the employees were very nice as well.) We will be back.
