Eating and drinking at LUMA Arles

Hospitality as an Experience

At LUMA Arles, food is an integral part of the visit. Blending culinary creativity, seasonal ingredients, and uniquely designed spaces, the dining experience extends the spirit of the site. It offers a thoughtful and convivial way to connect with the region—and with the people who bring it to life.

The restaurants of the Parc des Ateliers extend and enrich the visiting experience.

The kitchen, where the elements are transformed, is a space for creation.

At the Parc des Ateliers, the food and beverage offer is based on major commitments:

To offer simple, authentic cuisine, that is accessible to all.
To invite our guests to share and discover, with generous dishes inspired by local and foreign cuisines.
To use seasonal ingredients, prepared in different ways depending on the place. This makes it possible to cook them in their entirety and helps us fight against food waste.
To highlight our partner producers' know-how and promote sustainable agriculture.

Drum Café

Creative cuisine with local influences

On the first floor of The Tower, the Drum Café is a creative space where flavors are reinvented with the changing seasons. Its menu showcases committed producers and carefully selected ingredients from the surrounding area.

Designed by Rirkrit Tiravanija, the restaurant-café is imagined as a work of art to be inhabited and experiments with new materials developed by Atelier LUMA. Conviviality and sharing, central to Tiravanija's practice, come to life in this space designed as a celebration of time spent together — a spirit that is also found in the chef's cuisine.

Whether for a bistronomic lunch or tea time, the Drum Café extends the visiting experience into a gourmet break.
