One-stop feast! Just a whistle-stop from the train station sits an unusual triple threat: neighborhood café, seriously good crêperie and ice-cream workshop obsessed with sourcing, all dreamed up by Parisian-Breton globetrotter Margaux Friocourt, who finally settled down in Arles, ice-cream diploma in hand. The churns are running full tilt, whipping up a frenzy of sorbets and whole-milk ice creams made with organic milk from an Auvergne farm, and well-crafted flavors, from coffee roasted by Cafar in Arles or Brûlerie Möka in Marseille, to vanilla from Zanzibar and grapefruit grown in La Crau. Best licked up after a crisp galette served in the mosaic-tiled dining room or beneath a parasol on the terrace. The kind of place that leaves you one scoop closer to the seaside. · Marc Scarpone

Ate: A crispy yet supple buckwheat galette with a runny fried egg, Comté rubbed with vin jaune and a generous carpeting of bottarga (plus a side salad for good measure), before a matcha and toasted-vanilla soft serve.

Price: Galettes €14-17, ice cream €3.50 per scoop (€12 for a half-liter to takeaway), soft serve €5.
