On the owner's recommendation, we ordered the bouillabaisse, along with some barratta and tomatoes. The bouillabaisse, by the way, came with bread. We were truly blown away by the exquisite and clean taste and were even more surprised that, with the number of people seated outside, all the dishes were curated by one cook in the back. Simply outstanding. Simply outstanding food and service. If you want to experience authentic French cuisine, look no further.

My husband and I agree: stumbling upon this place with our kids after a visit to the market in Aix…read morewas one of the happiest accidents of our life. We rate our lunch in the top 5 we have ever enjoyed, up there with meals in Florence, sushi in Maui, and so on. The waiter who greeted us viewed our kids, ages 9 and 12, skeptically and noted he lacked a children's menu. Nevertheless, I assured him we would be fine- our 12 year old loves escargot and I was certain we would find chicken to satisfy my daughter. Boy were we right! We started with those escargot, frogs legs, and a terrine. The frogs legs were extraordinarily tender and flavorful. The sauce around them was best eaten with a spoon. The house rose was a perfect match and on we went to some of the most perfect cod in pistou, a perfect roasted chicken with a salty (we loved it) sauce and mashed potatoes to dream about, and a quenelle I cannot describe because it seemed like Yorkshire pudding of a sort but the most amazing version I've ever encountered. We couldn't stop smiling. The waiter grew happier and danced around to some Motown, and by the end the chef came out and accepted our applause! For one in France, the bill felt like a steal too. I cannot believe we walked right in without a reservation at 1 pm on a Thursday. They deserve a Michelin star, and it's worth whatever you must do to get there. #blessed

Good food with a lot of variety and inspiration from cuisines all over the world. Would go back!read more

The ambiance is a bit lacking because it could use a more decorative touch and enhancements, perhaps large pieces of art for the expansive wall space. But you forget about the environment when the food is placed before you. Imaginative and innovative preparation of the highest quality locally sourced ingredients left us in awe. I would return to Aix just for another dining experience at L'epicuren.

Have you ever seen a dish come out and it was so pretty you couldn't eat it, but it was so savory…read morelooking you just had to? Welcome to Les Grandes Tables! We walked here from our stay and once we meandered through the complex we found this mass of grand tables (thus the name) and courtyard. We were early, but we got drinks and they kindly served us bread and a olive pâté that was so clean and fresh. The service was kind and quick and, boy, did the tables fill up fast once the kitchen opened. Our meals were so fresh, clean and pure in flavor that I ate every piece of my dish as did my friends. I would easily come back here and bring my laptop to work. Perfect space for meeting friends, business partners or going alone.

This big space is still good for the group sit down lunch, however! It serves a variety of hot and cold entree sized portions priced at about 10-15 euros each. Moreover, you can have a sit-down lunch with 10-15 people and pay individually, or all together. I can also report that in winter they seem willing to foot the extra heating bill to keep this space nice and toasty!

We had one of the best dinners on our trip in the south of France last month at this restaurant!…read moreActually, it might have been one of the best dinners I have ever had, and I am from Southern California. That's why I am quite surprised to see that the restaurant does not have a higher rating on Yelp, and so although I never leave reviews, here I am. L'Incontournable came highly recommended by our hotel and they got the reservation for us; seating is limited so a reservation is highly recommended. The restaurant mainly has outside seating, it was situated in a courtyard with a fountain in the middle so this was wonderful on a warm summer night. To start off, my husband and I ordered an appetizer to share, it was a Bouillabaisse style soup but with vegetable and shrimp. We each had one taste and decided it was so good we didn't want to share so we ordered another one. The entrée was no less special. I got the quail and my husband got the beef tataki, and both were delicious. I never even knew quail could taste that good! We also got dessert and tea to end the night. Service was excellent, and their bathroom is also very clean and stylish. I would not be surprised if this restaurant gets some kind of Michelin recognition one day, I hope they do.
