Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€14.8 km

Mathias Dandine made his childhood dream come true when he became chef at this handsome 18C mansion with a terrace shaded by mature plane trees, situated far from the noise of the city.

Étude

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€16.1 km

Non-conformist chef Loïc Pétri cut his teeth in leading Parisian establishments (Jean-François Piège, Joël Robuchon) before going back to his roots in the south of France. In the heart of the historical part of Aix, in his intimate, contemporary-style restaurant with just 12 covers, he lets his inspiration run riot with a single set menu guided by the seasons. With bold associations and a savvy use of oils, spices and chillies, his free-spirited cooking elevates the finest ingredients, such as bass, lobster and sweetbreads, which are treated with care and dexterity. You can sense the commitmen

La Table de Pierre Reboul

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€16.5 km

Olives, which are central to Pierre Reboul’s work, inspired both the low-key, natural interior of his restaurant and his cuisine steeped in creativity. In the stylish, intimate setting of the Renaissance Hotel, exclusive materials and olive-green shades set the scene. A terrace framed by two olive trees and a counter overlooking the open-plan kitchen add the final touches to the portrait. The Chef celebrates regional produce in dishes that look as good as they taste: trompe-l’oeil olives explode in the mouth, a delicate, inventive trilogy on a Mediterranean shrimp theme or a subtle, crunchy co

Le Art - Château de la Gaude

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€18.0 km

In this 18C bastide, chef Mathieu Derible presents pared-back cuisine rooted in Provençal traditions. Nods to Normandy and Burgundy permeate his creations, reflecting his training under great masters. The remarkably precise sauces complement fine ingredients in simply presented dishes. Overlooking the château's formal garden, the terrace is a magical setting in which to discover a wine list with plenty of labels from Burgundy and Provence. Attentive service is the icing on the cake of this serene and refined experience.

La Bastide Bourrelly - Mathias Dandine

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€19.6 km

Whether you are dining on the terrace shaded by plane trees or in the elegant, contemporary space done out in Mediterranean style, you are served Provençal cuisine inspired by the classics of Jean-Baptiste Reboul. Fine seasonal local produce, meticulous cooking, flavourful sauces, precise seasoning: chef Guillaume Lemelle skilfully conjures up delightful dishes such as octopus confit with s

Les Galinas

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€16.1 km

In a shady little side street in the old town, three young partners, les galinas (or "big boys" in Provençal), opened this bistro with a view to bringing back Provençal cuisine in the vein of grandma's home cooking. True to their watchwords of simplicity and flavour, they steer clear of exotic recipes and convoluted new takes on dishes; rather, they keep things local, when it comes to both the vibe and the food: Provençal-style tomatoes (a master class!), competition-level aioli, lamb tripe or monkfish raïto sauce to die for… thanks to the freshest ingredients and a sure hand. A warm welcome.

La Table de Beaurecueil

Restaurant€€€10.1 km

This restaurant is housed in a former sheep barn and features a resolutely contemporary design (only a few of the original rustic features remain). It offers “cuisine du terroir” based on high quality produce. Wine by the glass.

Le Relais de Saint Ser

Restaurant€€€11.9 km

Overlooking the village of Puyloubier, this renovated old Provençal farmhouse at the foot of Sainte-Victoire – the mountain ridge immortalised by Cézanne – commands a breathtaking view of the valley. Julien Courtin, a serious-minded chef who has worked in MICHELIN-starred kitchens in Paris, creates spontaneous, indulgent cuisine, with a choice of cuts of beef matured on site and elegantly plated dishes reflecting the terroir. On this day's lunch menu: tuna ceviche with grilled vegetables, veal liver and house-made gnocchi. A shaded terrace and quiet guestrooms round off the facilities.
