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.

Time to food: 13 minutes Arrived at around 9:20PM and was seated at the bar. I went totally with the chef's recommendation. I had a lovely Domaine Combier - Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Laurent rouge 2024, the Piadina with coppa de parme, parmesan, and red peppers, and a biscoff tiramisu with an espresso to wash it down. Total was 17.5 euro. Honestly, I wish I had found this spot earlier! I ate at several "nice" spots around town during the week. The Piadina here was leagues above the pizza at La Rotunde at half the price. Everyone was polite and friendly. They even do a student discount. It's an amazing quaint little spot.

To top it off, the desserts were awesome too- we tried the cannoli and tiramisu. The staff was very nice and the owner spoke good English and made sure our order gotten taken correctly by the waitress who may not have understood our attempts at ordering in French ; ) If you can, make a reservation as it seems to be a popular place and it can fill up fast. The fact that the restaurant is a part of the "slow food movement" made me worry it was going to take awhile to get our food, but it didn't seem to take much longer than most other places we'd been to in France. Slower than the US, but seemed pretty average for a European restaurant.

He introduced us to his staff giving us a real welcomed feeling. He provided appetizers for the table and the wine we all loved.

We communicated in both English and Italian which was a lot of fun. He gave us the feeling that he didn't want us to leave.

The pastas were tempting, but when all my coworkers ordered pizza, it seemed the thing to do. The pizza was just about the perfect portion for one - maybe a bit too big if not for the walk back to the hotel. The crust was nicely chewy, but could've used a bit more char. My gluten-free colleague thoroughly enjoyed her 4-cheese risotto, giving me a taste. So rich and cheesy! She couldn't finish it, and I only needed the one bite. Service was a bit slow, as there was only one waitress for the entire patio of 5-6 parties of 4-5 each, but it was friendly and helpful when present. 2019 Reviews #28

One of my best restaurant experiences on my entire trip to France!…read more I sat outside on a beautiful, sunny day. I ordered the vegetarian salad, which was one of the best salads I've ever had in my entire life. Just gorgeous greens, tomatoes, shaved carrots, and perfect, plump sundried tomatoes, in a thick balsamic dressing. Simple but just right! The fries stole the show though, they were DEFINITELY the best fries I have EVER had!!! Patatas bravas... thick-cut fries heavily seasoned with herbs-de-Provence... IN Provence!!! SO, SO, SO delicious!!!! Not to mention, my order came with a generous basket of yummy French bread, which came in handy to sop up the balsamic dressing. The food was so good and the waiter was so friendly that once I was done, I couldn't resist ordering an espresso to finish off my meal. I'm glad I did! The waiter brought me out some French nougat that he INSISTED I try (yes, I'm vegan... but I will try a nibble of vegetarian things from time to time), and he poured me a shot of honey rum that he said was great for sipping. I sipped my shot of rum... and he poured me another one! (The waiter was doing this for the customers around me, too). The guy waiting on me was so, so, so nice... even without the free rum and nougat. The service here was above and beyond, I recommend this place whole-heartedly even without the free goodies. It's a small place, there's not much room to sit inside, and not much space outside either. There's also not much on the menu, especially for vegetarians, but it's great to have a few items that you have perfected, and that's what you'll find here. Also, it was very inexpensive!!! I was happily surprised! If you are in Aix-en-Provence, you MUST come here!!!
