"Came here looking for the meat I saw in the reviews. Was very disappointed to find they didn’t have it, or any of the other items I was craving from the pictures. The disappointment didn’t last long because the vibe of the place and service was incredible, when the food came I couldn’t believe how good it was. Hands down one of the best meals of the trip, was not expecting it at all. Every single thing that we were served was spectacular, made with care and purpose."

"Absolutely fantastic evening with my wife here. Have to thank my concierge who referred and made the reservations for us. My wife enjoyed her meal and liked our bottle of wine they recommend. I definitely enjoyed the ambience and energy of this small 7 table restaurant. Friendly host and seemed like everyone had a wonderful evening there also. Would recommend to anybody looking for an easy meal, nothing crazy. Somewhere to enjoy each other's company."

"We just came here for a glass of wine, but it has the cutest atmosphere. I would've loved to go back for food, as the food menu looked awesome. The wine was great. Would recommend if you're in Aix!"

"Our 2nd time here and not yet disappointed! It’s a challenge to find consistently well-thought out, delicious food in Aix. This is definitely a place to go to again and again. We shared the pan con tomate, their version of a Spanish classic: rice flour toast, garlicky tomato purée, roasted portobello mushroom, and grated manchego. The scallops and octopus were tender, accompanied by a nutty, sweet carrot purée to complement the briny lobster jus. And what I expected to like the least, I loved the most. Their stuffed cabbage had the such an herb-y pork filling and slightly acidic veal jus. So much umami in that dish! Don’t forget the wines, which are plenty in variety - many natural and organic. We decided to take a bottle of La Mongestine’s Georgette thinking we would take the rest home. Instead, we shared some with the neighboring table after they had offered some of their delicious El Pop with us. So many more wines to try…The staff knows their stuff and wants to make sure you return. And believe me, you will."
