You have to read some of the reviews and see for yourself what the talk is about. We walked over and without reservation, scored a seat in the patio. Our 3 course meal was 20 euro but it none of the dishes were memorable. The dishes had a home cooked feeling, as if you could make the dishes at home, but nothing tasted out of this world. My bf got the short ribs and I got the baby chicken. Neither dishes were that great. Dessert was probably the best part of the meal. I probably would not return. For those who do not know the language: Owner speaks English. Waitresses know little English.

On the other hand, there's no actual sign or label at the unassuming entrance on rue des Bernardines -- which could generously be called a side street but almost borders on an alley. This is NOT your typical restaurant in touristy Aix-en-provence. We sought it out because a website described it as the sort of place that the Aixoise would go. Well, that may be, and I certainly would not blame them, but there were plenty of tourists there when we dined on a weekday. (They basically open at 8pm, a more French dining time, while most establishments in the city accommodate touristic tastes and open as early as 7. In fact, our rather entertaining waiter seemed to speak French, English, and German fluently (to hear him banter with nearby tables) -- although he couldn't manage Mandarin. How to describe the food? "Unpretentious" would be accurate but maybe slightly misleading. It is a fantastic deal for a full meal compared to most sit-down restaurants in Aix. Expect well-executed, classic but un-fussy French cuisine in a pleasant outdoor courtyard. The vibe is fun, even on a less crowded evening. The two of us had the summer special gazpacho (amazing, and quite spicy) and the chicken liver pate (also very good) for entrees. Our main courses were a steak and a fillet of veal, both served with french-fry-like hash browns and haricot verts. A plum clafoutis and a nicely caramelly tarte tatin rounded out this meal -- very traditional bistro fare. (Both desserts were tasty, without being mind blowingly good or especially original.) At 40 Euros (tax + tip included, of course) for two people, including one glass of house red and one coffee, I think Chez Charlotte's menu might be the best deal in Aix.

The food style is tapas, so there are multiple courses, which the servers forgot our main course - hence the cold food. Modern decor and clean new bistro restaurant.

They were able to seat us immediately without a reservation so that was nice at least. Everything else was rather downhill. The service was subpar--with the waiter wearing a name tag saying that he spoke English, although he only spoke a few words. It's completely okay if a server can't speak English, but the tag was confusing and shouldn't be in place if it isn't true. They let the dirty plates, glasses, and cutlery pile up at our table. The Burger Gourmand that I ordered was nothing to write home about. It was cooked incorrectly (I ordered medium or à point and it came out brown all the way through), and the lettuce and tomato included were limp. The dishes were all fairly expensive, without warranting the hiked-up price. Additionally, a really awful smell swept through the restaurant for seemingly no reason from the kitchen halfway through the meal. There were so many gnats flying around too and it was very irritating. Would not return, unless absolutely necessary.

On the other side, I didnt understand the side roquefort butter. As the second dish I chose the plat du jour, a stuffed lamb with mushrooms and a side of polenta with mushrooms. I guess they had mushrooms to get rid off. The lamb was over cooked. The polenta was as dull as all the polentas I generally eat out. And to finish I had a good coffee.
