Sommelier

About Arles Arles is a modern bistro located in a quiet side street of the Amsterdamse Pijp. Just like in the Parisian 'bistronomy' scene, you will find creative dishes in an accessible and artistic environment.

​Numa Muller, our chef from Arles, creates a new 4 and 5 course chef's menu every month (à la carte is also possible). His neo-bistro dishes are surprising because of the special combinations of French cuisine with outside influences.

We have an entirely French wine list with an interesting composition of traditional producers, as well as emerging vins nature.

The restaurant has held a in the Gault & millau since 2018
