Top 10 European food in Aix-en-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France
Reviews on European food in Aix-en-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. Aix, a graceful, lively city, is known for its thermal hot springs, art schools and universities. Wander the Cours, old town and Quartier Mazarin on foot, stopping at cafés, bookstores and markets. Kids whining? Have them count fountains… Aix reportedly has 1,000 of them.

My wife and I walked by this beautiful little restaurant at lunchtime, reviewed the dinner menu and made a reservation. It was a great choice! The restaurant is located in the common area at the intersection of three quiet streets. We ordered scallops and lamb and both were great. We combined it with a reasonably priced bottle of Sauvignon. We finished the meal with an assortment of bite sized sweets-fantastic! Service was attentive but not intrusive. Definitely will go back!

We made a last minute reservation and were seated on the entrance level. Menu was on a chalk board and appears to vary each day. We had fish and chicken. Both dishes were well prepared and presented.

We reserved late but were lucky to get two seats at the bar counter. Got there nice and early to have a few glasses of wine before dinner and that was a great idea. The wine selection (available in big or small portions by the glass) is varied enough for everybody to find a match. We didnât have a cocktail but the ones that came out from the bar looked good. Food is excellent. Had the mix of tapas to share then burgers. The burger is as french as I imagine a burger could be. Brioche bun, coarse ground excellent quality meat and a nice ripe cheese on top. Thank you for your comment :-)we are glad that you had a good time and that you enjoyed the homemade with only fresh products.See you soon,The whole El Primo team

Do not start a one-man-operation if you can't handle it, like in this place. The owner is the only one hazzling around serving the food.We had to wait for the entrees almost 50 minutes. Maybe they were so time-taking to make? Gazpacho and Marseille Sardines straight served from the actual tin can, some bread and vege on the side. Kind of food that is ready made during the prep.The mains we received almost in ok time. The bill: he brought the bill and I waived the plastic, then had to wait more than 10 minutes, after that put on the cash and left.In this place there was no sign of the french precision in the restaurant where you basically never wait anything, more you control the time by eating slowly, otherwise you are out of the dinner in less than 30 minutes.Food was ok, nothing that special. Strange things too was that on the walls you have the menus, we had almost ten minutes time to translate them to english, then we were given plastic menu cards and told that the menus on the wall got old months ago.. On the Blackboard!! Can't they just wipe them out or refresh?Also, one thing to mention: If you have an air conditioning, make it work. Now it was just for "fun".To me, I got the feeling, that customer is not in the focus here, but the owners ambitions.

Discovered this place by accident... when I was too impatient to wait for the traffic light to become green and crossed the street via 'le passage'. There was a huge line waiting and crepes looked very tasty. There are salty or sweet crepes and they also have buckwheat pancakes. I tried the one with butter, sugar and fresh lemon juice, this is my favorite!

The galette we had was the best we have tasted, filled with generous portions of grilled courgette, peppers, cheese, egg and fresh greens on the side. We also had a flambé Crepe, with amaretto, pistachio ice cream, nuts and chocolate and a cider. We enjoyed seeing the chef at work creating her delicious masterpieces with love. A definite must to enjoy your brunch after a stroll at the market nearby. You cannot miss its bright pink exterior outside. We have recommended this to our friends and we will come back for more if we return to Aix.

The first time I visited Aix a fee years ago, I had lunch in one of the generic bistros that litter the town squares. The food was generic, unremarkable and overpriced.This time around, I wanted to surprise my mother for her birthday, so made sure to do some research before hand. Gambetta had great reviews, so I decided to book and I'm glad I did. While the restaurant isn't located in a scenic town square, the food and the service are top notch. Gambetta is owned and run by a lovely couple, with the husband in the kitchen and the wife at front of house. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The 3 dish menu was excellent value and we all happily ate all our courses.The hostess was very friendly and insisted on giving my mother free coffee and ice cream when she found out it was her birthday. We all had an excellent experience and will definitely be returning on our next trip to Aix.
