A garden cafe in Julien…read more In Julien there's a restaurant with outdoor seating. They have brown and white beer, red and white wine. The service is decent and the English was great. I had the pave salmon and she the Buddha bowl. Both hit the spot and the bread was very enjoyable. We were given a bottle of cold water at the start as well. The ambience was that of a noisy but very lived and loved neighborhood along with kids playing and adults yelling at them. Overall worth a stop if you're hungry and walking through this neighborhood. It's super close to the notre dame du mont metro station.

We got the fish of the day, and it was absolutely delicious, the fish was soft inside and flaky outside. Everything else compliments it so well. From the sweet roasted tomatoes to the salty coastal veggie, everything felt in place and thought out.

9/12/15: One of the most beautiful restaurants we had the pleasure of eating at in France! The…read moreentire eating area is outside in their very eclectic garden, surrounded by lots of greenery, flowers, and custom modern art made to blend into the very picturesque surroundings. The waiter was extremely nice and courteous with us, despite our not being able to speak a lick of French. The restaurant was busy, but he took his time explaining every single item to us in English. We really appreciated that. You might have noticed now that many of the popular and best restaurants in France require reservations, even if not that fancy. We in fact were turned away at many restaurants previous to this one, and just happened by, and were extremely grateful they were able to seat us. 1. Cafe (coffee) 2 EUR 2. San Pellegrino 5 EUR 3. Beignets de legumes 14 EUR: Not what we typically call "beignets" in America--I think in this case they are referring to the deep fried clumps of vegetables. Lots of different kinds of veggies too--I think you can think of this as French tempura. To be honest, I forgot all the different kinds they had in there, but feel free to check out my picture to get an idea--but there's tons of really pretty colorful leaves, onions, and flowers. And it tasted really great--surprisingly refreshing despite being fried. The perfect fried dish, and dazzling in presentation too! 10/10 4. Veau braise & polenta cremeuse 21 EUR: This is a large single piece of braised veal, arranged as a circle topping polenta, along with eggplant and zucchini on top. According to the waiter it was braised for a very long time, and certainly tasted like it. It was delicious, but perhaps could have been even more moist. 7.5/10. 5. Fine tranches de boeuf & condiments mediterraneen 17 EUR: This is The Most Epic Beef Tartare EVER. So, instead of the typical ultra thin slices of raw beef, theirs is cut relatively thick, maybe a bit less than 1cm thick. The edges are very slightly browned, but most of it is raw like how seared tuna is typically prepared. And there's a couple pieces of fried polenta on top, along with an heirloom tomato salad on the side. But why do I say "epic?"--cause of the amazing toppings on top of the meat! I tried to identify some of it but all I could really recognize are capers, olives, cheese, etc., but there's tons more going on! There's such an amazing array of ingredients used that it is quite a tartare masterpiece! 10/10 We LOVED this place. Definitely one of our culinary highlights here in France! 5/5 #french #Mediterranean #france

J'y suis allée avec mes jumeaux de 3 mois, donc avec une poussette XXL pendant le service de midi en semaine, j'ai eu un peu peur du regard qui tue... Mais pas du tout, ils ont été très sympas et mon amie, mes bébés, ma poussette et moi avons passé un très bon moment. Je recommande vivement ce resto.

We stumbled upon Chez Nine after walking and enjoying the ambience of old town Aix, and we were grateful to be seated without a reservation. We ordered an aperitif (which we unfortunately did not receive, hence the 4 star rating) and received a complimentary sardine spread and small crackers. Tasty. We ordered a nice bottle of blended red that was recommended by the owner. My fiancé ordered the chèvre ravioli which was heaven on a plate. A rich, creamy, and cheesy blending of flavors and topped with fantastic prosciutto. If you want rich and decadent, look no further. I ordered a tagliatelle with chicken and a wonderful almond and cream sauce. There were small raisins in it that added a pop of sweetness in the richness of the cream sauce. Delightful. The dishes were fairly large, so we didn't end up ordering dessert. Highly recommended.

We got through two starters and mains but had no room left for dessert (if we are not counting liquers). The curry pasta (with apple) and the Notre Specialite were absolutely fantastic. We are half way through our two week honeymoon and this is the best meal we've had so far, bar none. If you are unsure of this location give this one a try. It happens to be one of the most well established restaurants in the area and culinary expertise/abience/servers make this a one of a kind.

The service was…read moreexceptionally slow even by French standards and there were no explanations as to what the ingredients were for the sides on the menu. NOTE 1: My mother was born in Marseille and speaks French. She handled the conversation during this visit. Let me explain. When we arrived, there were only a handful of two top seated and the sun was beaming down, so one of the attendants winched the rooftop canopy to block the sun. We finally received a basket of bread, then some water, and then the menus. All the while, very large groups of diners were being seated. It became apparent quickly that the team at Madie surmised that we were not worthy of any of the basic services and all additional attention was provided to the large groups. I ordered the artichoke plate. My mother and my wife each ordered the Octopus salad. My artichoke plate arrived and it looked delicious except that it had a chuck of meat in it and meat broth. There was no information on the menu that stated that a vegetable plate had any meat in it. If it did, I would not have ordered it. The octopus salad according to my two diners was okay but they both remarked it needed a squish of lemon and a little more seasoning. All in all, it was a very poor experience, we will not return, and I cannot recommend Madie to any of my fellow travelers.
