Oh la la, Arles. And this time it's not about the southern French artists' village, but about one of our favorite French bistros in the heart of De Pijp. Although Chef Numa will probably get some inspiration from the village. Restaurant Arles is one of those places where you want to linger. For the wine, for the atmosphere, and especially for the food.

On the menu? French classics with a modern twist. No standard French menu but French influences but with seasonal vegetables in the lead role. Think: pearl barley risotto with lovage, lukewarm eel with artichoke or a bizarrely good piece of pork neck with kimchi and spinach jus. Yes, chef Numa knows what he's doing.
