Skab, a fine dining restaurant right by the amphitheatre.

LE PATIO LITTRÉ

One of my favourite places to go is the gourmet restaurant Le Patio Littré, which is near the Maison Carrée. Chef Julien Barrera Labonne uses seasonal, local ingredients to create a menu of fresh dishes packed with flavour. 10 Rue Littré

LA VILLA ROMA

This is an Italian restaurant that serves excellent pizza, as well as a good selection of pasta and antipasti. It’s right next to the Roman amphitheatre, which makes for a particularly dramatic view if you’re sitting on the terrace. villa-roma.fr

MENNA

Also near the arena is Menna, a relatively new restaurant serving inventive Mediterranean dishes made with local produce. It has a pleasant terrace at the front, too. menna-restaurant. eatbu.com
