No big-name wines (or prices!) here, just tasty juice and fun wines, at the best kind of place to meet friends over a glass or two. There's a charm inside with wine barrels as tables, a big chalkboard with specials of the day and more offerings, and a small light-food menu. I had a glass of rosé for 4.50, and delicious St. Marcellin for 5 euros. Relaxed and chill, highly recommend, I always stop in when I'm in Aix.

Not only is the wine great, but the people who work there are incredibly friendly. We actually came to this place a few times during our 4 day stay in Aix.One of the days we were fortunate enough to meet the owner and have a glass of wine with him. He's extremely friendly and really knows his wine. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. My husband and I fell in love with Aix and I think this little place was a large portion of the reason why. Who knows, maybe one day we will own a little apartment in Aix so that we can come to Au P'tit Quart D'Heure on a daily basis :) Whatever you do, dont leave Aix without coming here and having a glass of rose.

A Casa is a hidden gem. i bet everything on their menu would also be excellent. they were not busy, and i had a pleasant chat with the owner. he is from palermo, from which my grandfather emmigrated to the usa around 1,900. my server, emma, was very friendly, and spoke english pretty well. she suggested i try Les Trois [3] Ormeaux for dinner. excellent recommendation. thank you emma. if you ever find yourself in Aix, go here.

My fiancé and I came by to get a bottle of rosé as a souvenir for our trip, and the service was excellent. They have a large selection of natural wines and were not snobby about price. I appreciate when people explain wine well without treating non-sommeliers like children or savages. Our positive experience convinced us to swing back around for a nightcap later on in our time in Aix, and I'm so glad we did! The glass of bright pink champagne we enjoyed on their patio was quite possibly the most delicious wine I've ever had. We wanted to take home a bottle, but local liquor laws prevent sale after a certain time of night. If only I could turn back time....

Great little tapas place in the center of Aix-en Provence…read more The decor and atmosphere was lively and modern. The menu consisted of many tapas classics as well as new, original takes. Our favourites include the shrimp, which was a tad spicy and the mushrooms with onion. The burger was quite interesting with duck meat and foie gras served between potato galettes. It was, however, slightly greasy and the duck was a little tough. The wine selection was also good and the cocktails were nice and strong. Definitely a memorable, satisfactory meal.
