Eating
can be a challenge, an adventure, a delight, or a nightmare if
you are squeamish.
Aix
counts over 400 restaurants, our selection is listed according
to speciality and our appreciation.
Many
restaurants in and around Aix provide English translations of
the menu and “carte“. Ingredients, preparation,
and taste are, in general, highly recommendable. In addition to
its refinement, provençal cooking is notoriously balanced
and wholesome. The cuisine du “Midi”>
meedee < (south of France), is composed largely of locally grown
produce, and reflects the daily and seasonal market.

Special mention for the pizza-van on the corner of the boulevard
de la République and cours 12 des Minimes! (open evenings

A complete pizza: 7,50 euros +
