Just loved this restaurant which was previously unknown to us but recommended the day before by the chef/proprietor of another brilliant Aix restaurant les Vielles Canailles where we have dined on numerous occasions. Beautifully fitted out inside (really cool and elegant), superb service from the very inspirational owner who is a top sommelier and maintains a brilliant wine list. The food was absolutely sensational throughout and we will most definitely return. Velouté of potiron (pumpkin) & roasted leek starters were beautifully executed & delicious, mains of long cooked beef, octopus with a grain risotto and pan fried bream with creamed potato were also superb. Great desserts, too. The photos speak for themselves. The wine (a recommendation of a pinot noir from a producer I did not know in Monthelie, Burgundy) was also brilliant. 10/10.

If we are ever in Aix again, we would definitely make a point of making a reservation. Thanks for a...

Once we were seated, the evening took a turn. Service staff was engaging and interested, Sommelier/owner listened to our wine hopes and delivered a delicious wine. Food was great. Never mind the opening moment, we would return without hesitation. Thanks Grenache, keep up...
