Les Inséparables — Restaurant in Aix-en-Provence

I read the reviews and decided to try this place! I loved it! The staff was very welcoming, which is not always true as a single diner. The server plus a man who may have been the owner were very attentive to my every need. I like rose wine and they offered two types of local rose wine by the glass. Both were good. Then, I had the cheese, prosciutto, vegetables and hummus starter plate, the sea bass and veges plus an amazing strawberry pistachio cake. I was so full I couldn’t finish the cake and the possible owner immediately asked me if it was ok! I explained it was awesome! The setting is beautiful, with a nice patio overlooking a small private park which is part of their property. The only slight issue was it is off the beaten path, tucked back in a nice neighborhood, and about 20 minutes walk from my hotel which was near Cours Mirabeau, the main tourist area. But, I enjoyed the walk. I recommend you try this restaurant when...

Waiters were excellent. However, service was very slow and there was just something missing to make the food more cohesive and a touch better on the palette (besides the fish and desserts) I think a better quality check would also benefit the plates. The way that the ingredients combined together was slightly off. Small things like the cheese plate: better presentation and eye to details like cutting cheese straighter, or a better looking plate to match the rest. Stinky cheese is not my thing, however — it did not match the rest of the tasting menu with its aggressive taste.

As others mentioned, the owner’s dogs were wandering around the kitchen and dining area towards the end of service. If I was allergic to dogs, this would have been problematic.

The location is nice. It is in a quiet neighborhood...

Felt very fortunate to have found this restaurant during our stay at Aix. Every single plate was fantastic: the gaspache was the highlight for me, it’s an incredible celebration of tomatoes. It was my first time eating pigeon and it was a wonderful delight; finally the strawberry dessert was also marvelous and couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish the meal.

The ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic, the outside especially, and the tables are nicely spaced out, the pictures do not do it justice! We were very pleasantly surprised.

We also ordered the sea bass, it was cooked to perfection, and the rice with chorizo gave it a nice bold flavor; it was quite nice but forgettable.

On the down side, the service was a bit slow and it was tough to get the server’s attention.

Highly...
