Étude

Sauvage means wild, echoing its eclectic, non-conformist chef, Loïc Pétri, who learned the ropes in leading Parisian establishments (Jean-François Piège, Joël Robuchon), before returning to his southern roots. In this trendy eatery on a pedestrian street of Aix, he lets his inspiration run riot five evenings a week. Guided by bold associations and a spot-on use of oils, spices and peppers, his unchained cooking stars winning recipes, among which a sushi of Camargue oysters; croaker with aubergine and white miso and coffee jus; lamb with a confit of peppers and crunchy durum wheat semolina or cherries in frosted almond milk… Polished concrete floors, varnished wooden tables, groovy music and happy diners depict the modern vibe.

Kaiseki

In the magical setting of an 18C bastide, the Kaiseki upholds Japanese gourmet dining traditions with its “Omakase – The Great Journey” tasting menu that gives the chefs carte blanche. Chefs Matthieu Dupuis Baumal and Kazunari Noda have pooled their skill and talent to create a genuine culinary voyage poised between France and Japan. The next-door brasserie, Le K, offers a varied, more affordable score.

La Petite Ferme

This swish new contemporary brasserie in the hands of Ronan Kernen, chef-owner of the Côté Cour, showcases dishes sourced from world cuisine and choice cuts of meat cooked over embers, spit-roasted or in a wood-fired oven. Even more delicious when shared with family and friends.

Les Inséparables

The Inseparables is the encounter between chef Christophe Bonanno (formerly of Le Crillon, Astrance, Laurent) and Mathieu Jégo, a born manager and food lover. Within a 1970s-inspired vintage décor, they play a culinary score tailored to modern palates. The generously dimensioned terrace is shaded by two ancient plane trees.

Licandro - Le Bistro

This small family business is run by chef Felipe Licandro, who honed his skills in some of France’s top establishments, and his wife Julie. The lunchtime chalkboard menu offers well-crafted, market-fresh fare; more extensive evening menu, but always in a traditional bistronomy spirit.

Âma Terra

Diners are faced with a dilemma in the restaurant of this magnificent hotel, for which Pierre Gagnaire designed the menu. You can opt to dine in the inside space, with its Second Empire glass roof, crystal chandeliers and imposing china cabinet, or on the gorgeous terrace, with the gentle sound of water tinkling in the pools and fountains and the scent of typical Mediterranean fragrances hanging in the air. Chef Jean-Denis Le Bras cooks up gourmet cuisine with Provençal overtones and a backdrop of original and striking associations inspired by his mentor.

Le Art

In the kitchen of this magnificent 18C bastide, chef Matthieu Dupuis-Baumal serves boldly inventive dishes, in which Provençal notes meet subtle Japanese influences. The flavours are clear and always controlled, and each recipe brandishes a confident culinary personality. The setting is magical, complete with a magnificent terrace, and makes for a sumptuous backdrop for this firework display of flavours. The wonderful wine list includes a selection from the château.

Aix-en-Provence - FRANCE

Côté Cour

Aix’s exclusive Cours Mirabeau is the place to see and be seen! A pared-back decor of natural materials, (very) soft lighting, a sliding roof, a glamorous edge and lounge music set the distinctive scene created by former Top Chef contestant, Ronan Kernen. The names of the dishes on the menu reflect his unorthodox approach: lamb cooked two ways/‘my version’ of stuffed cabbage, ‘my version’ of Saint-Honoré…
