Best of Aix-en-Provence Restaurants List

A good number of the restaurants we've tried in our stay here have had some distinctive quality that brings us back, depending on our mood or desires. In this post, I'll list those "best of" qualities. If you want more information on the individual restaurants, see my other posts.

Le Formal (32 rue Espariat ) is the best restaurant in Aix-en-Provence.

Les 2 Freres (4 av. Reine Astrid - 10 minutes walk outside old town) is the best modern restaurant design in Aix-en-Provence and has food consistent with the quality of the environment.

Chez Grand-mere (11 Rue Isolette) is the best traditional Provencal restaurant with outdoor seating in Aix-en-Provence.

Le Passage (10 Rue Villars -- across Cours Mirabeau in the cinema district) is the best lunch value in Aix-en-Provence, and an economical modern refuge from touristy cuteness.


Le Riviera (in Hotel Le Pigonnet at 5 Avenue du Pigonnet, www.hotelpigonnet.com) has the best garden dining in Aix-en-Provence, with truly excellent food.

La Medina de Fes (5 rue Campra) is the best dinner value in Aix-en-Provence, and some of the finest Moroccan food I've had.

Le Restaurant 37 (1 Rue Entrecasteaux) has the best contemporary food served on a terrace in old-town Aix-en-Provence.

Mitch (26 Rue des Tanneurs) has the best combination of people watching and good food in Aix-en-Provence.

Chez Mathé (14 rue Félibre Gault) is the most welcoming (and most child-friendly, yet still great for adults) restaurant in Aix-en-Provence.
