Located in the old town of Aix-en-Provence, this bistronomic restaurant offers seasonal cuisine led by chef Bastien Boussalmi. The short, evolving menu features market produce with a precise, contemporary approach. Depending on the season, certain dishes illustrate this approach, such as a variation on mushrooms, trout with cauliflower purée and a lightly mustarded black garlic aioli, or a well-balanced lemon tart. In the dining room, Clara provides structured service and detailed advice, particularly on food and wine pairing. The cellar features references from the south, with a varied selection available by the glass, complemented by cocktails and spirits. An address to consider for seasonal cuisine in the historic center of Aix-en-Provence.
