Café des Arts, café situé à Mens, en Isère, France

Café des Arts is a bar-restaurant at the corner of boulevard Édouard-Arnaud and rue Saint-Giraud in the centre of Mens, in the Isère. Inside, turned wooden tables with a drawer, slatted chairs, old marble and tarnished mirrors sit beneath wood panelling from 1856 and frescoes of 1895 by Gustave Riquet, covering walls and ceiling with rural scenes of the Matheysine and Trièves and cherubs.

The woodwork and shopfronts of Café des Arts date from 1856, while the frescoes were painted in 1895 by Gustave Riquet (1866–1938). Riquet, then about to be appointed professor at the École régionale des Beaux-Arts d'Amiens, was on holiday at his uncle's in Mens and depicted rural scenes and landscapes of the Matheysine and Trièves. The café was partially listed as a monument historique on 23 January 1989 for its two shopfronts and interior decoration.

The café's name comes from the frescoes that cover its walls and ceiling, painted in 1895 by Gustave Riquet while he was on holiday at his uncle's house in Mens. Riquet, soon to be appointed professor at the École régionale des Beaux-Arts d'Amiens, chose rural scenes and landscapes of the Matheysine and Trièves. The painted cherubs and period decor remain part of daily café life.

Café des Arts stands at the corner of boulevard Édouard-Arnaud and rue Saint-Giraud, a short walk from the town hall in the centre of Mens. As a private business it is open to the public only during the owner's opening hours.

Gustave Riquet, a painter from Amiens, created the frescoes during a visit to Mens, capturing local rural scenes and landscape imagery. These ceiling paintings are now considered important artistic works documenting local life from the late 1800s.
