We were 2 adults and 2 kids, booked and arrived at 7.30pm. Amuse bouche of mini-sandwiches quickly appeared as did a fab mini lentil & cep soupe. We ordered off the 19 euro menu, kids loved the snails and gnocchi starter, and the rabbit, chicken and duck terrine was excellent. Mains of faux-filet were beautifully cooked as was a mini pot-au-poissons. Desserts of apple tarte tartin and ice-cream was also good. Service was excellent, not slow. The place started to fill up, nice atmosphere. Dinner for 4 inc 1 bottle of Sancerre and 2 cokes and 2 desserts was 136 euros.

A dull Friday lunchtime in January, the restaurant was empty. My wife, daughter and I were a little surprised since other restaurants did have customers: was Le Cafe des Arts going to be as good as the reviews said? We had the €25 menu (3 courses) and a very nice Chablis (€30). The food was very good (especially for the price) and the service excellent. Good atmosphere but not quite sure about the profusion of teddy bears throughout the restaurant. We'd certainly go there again.

the place is decorated in plums and rust colours with teddy bears everywhere, on the window sill, up the stairs and on our table, it gives it a cutesy appearance.
we ordered from their lunch menu. 2 courses for 19 euros.
amuse bouche, lentils with a hint of cheese. staff are very helpful and attentive, the place was emptyish.
main, course fish stew, was served on outsized plates with an ever such miniscule bowl like indentation in the centre. the whole thing not bigger than 4 inches in diameter, steam fished and mussels sitting on microscopically cut vegetables and potatoes maybe 5 or 6 carefully cut boiled potatoes the size of a third of my index finger.
on the other hand the chicken dish was nicely flavoured but, but equally as ungenerous.if you add cream and butter to any dish it will taste delicious. chocolate mousse with orange for afters, very light, very creamy, very light on the chocolate, couldn't taste the orange.
the le cafe des artes misses out on quite a few important aspects, the food is ok. if you serve the tiniest of portions you need to justfiy it with taste and flavour, this does no such thing. we came away hungry and slightly disappointed, however we cannot fault the service or attention reveived.
can i remind you that you can vote, if you thought that this was helpful. i take a lot of care in writing and always aim for a balanced perspective.

I booked a table here for 13 guests for Sunday lunch, the set 2 and 3 course lunch menu €19 / €25 had a great selection of choice and the food was sublime! Attention to detail, and a taste-sensation on so many levels made this lunch stop one of the highlights of our trip. Cafe des Arts is well worth a visit and certainly one of the finer establishments in this little seaside resort! Catering for such a large group was effortless and I wouldn't hesitate going back. I hope you enjoy as much as we did!
