Barclette Arras relies on an idea as simple as it is comforting: raclette and tartiflette to take away, those mountain specialities that gather people around melted cheese. Set on rue Ernestale, right in the centre of Arras, the address offers generous, convivial cooking, to collect hot and ready to share. People come for a hearty, fuss-free meal, perfect on winter evenings, when the craving for melting cheese and sharing takes over.

The hearty mountain in the centre of Arras

Located on rue Ernestale, a lively shopping street in the centre of Arras, the brand complements the offer of fast food in Arras with an original note: the mountain speciality to take away. In a city where cheese already holds a place of choice with maroilles, raclette and tartiflette naturally extend this taste for cheesy comfort. Its central position makes it easy to reach the Grand'Place and the Place des Héros on foot, an asset for collecting a convivial meal in the very heart of the city.

Access and parking

Parking is on the town-centre car parks, a short distance away, and pedestrian access from the two squares takes a few minutes. The concept rests on the takeaway of hot dishes ready to enjoy, designed to be shared at home, with family or friends. This formula appeals to those who want the conviviality of a raclette without the logistics of the machine and the shopping, especially in the cold season.

Raclette, tartiflette: the comfort of melted cheese

Raclette and tartiflette are emblematic dishes of the mountain regions, built around melted cheese, potato and charcuterie. Raclette is traditionally shared by melting the cheese that you pour over potatoes and charcuterie; tartiflette, a potato gratin with reblochon, bacon and onions, is served golden and melting. At Barclette Arras, these comforting recipes come in takeaway form, ready to warm up the mood of a winter dinner.

On the menu

Around raclette and tartiflette, the offer plays the card of melted cheese and generosity, with the sides that go with it — charcuterie, potatoes and bread. This kind of cooking, rich and warming, is perfect for shared meals and cosy evenings. For a lighter craving a couple of steps away, the 808 Poke Bowl instead offers healthy bowls, while the Burger Braise focuses on homemade burgers on rue Saint-Aubert.

For which moment and which budget?

Barclette Arras lends itself above all to convivial dinners and winter evenings, in a price range consistent with the richness of the cheese products. The address suits families, groups of friends and anyone looking for a generous, warm meal to share, without a long preparation. The takeaway formula offers the flexibility to enjoy it at home, in a holiday rental or during an evening with loved ones, with the comfort of homemade cooking.

Atmosphere and occasions

The mountain spirit, warm and convivial, is ideal for reunions and cosy evenings. Raclette and tartiflette are sharing dishes par excellence, which gather people around the table and invite you to take your time. It is the comfort option for cold days, when the craving for melted cheese and conviviality wins out, a choice that easily pleases everyone for a hearty evening.

Around the table, a centre to explore

A few minutes' walk away, the Grand'Place and the Place des Héros unfold their Flemish-Baroque façades, overlooked by the UNESCO-listed belfry. The centre invites a wander before or after the meal, between shops, the cathedral and the fine-arts museum housed in the former Saint-Vaast abbey. In winter, collecting a raclette near the Christmas market that lights up the Grand'Place perfectly extends the magic of the season, with a melting dinner to share in the warmth.

Practical information

As often for takeaway, hours may vary by day and season, demand naturally being higher in the cold period. A prior call confirms current availability and helps anticipate busy evenings, especially at weekends and during the holidays. For a group meal, it is better to order ahead to arrange collection in the best conditions and avoid waiting.

Comfort to share, all winter long

Its takeaway mountain speciality makes Barclette Arras an ideal address for winter evenings, when the craving for melted cheese and sharing sets in. For a tourist stay in a rental, it offers a simple and hearty way to gather after a day of visits, between the belfry, the squares and the fine-arts museum. Raclette and tartiflette, generous and consensual dishes, turn an ordinary dinner into a convivial, warming moment.

Access, transport and good tips

Arras is reached quickly by train, about fifty minutes from Paris and around twenty minutes from Lille, the station being a short walk from the centre. By car, the district car parks let you park a few streets from rue Ernestale. To make the most of the formula, aiming for the cold season, anticipating weekend orders and planning collection before dinner time are good reflexes, especially during the Christmas market period.
