The food was either acceptable or not edible: salmon tartare was full of brown tick fatty skin and tasteless. The fries were fine and the salmon in foil was fine too (but side veggies were blah). The poke bowl was basic and not very tasty. The cocktail was fine. To be fair when I mentioned about the issue, they offered the 2 drinks we had and said I should have reported the issue earlier. That being said, I go to restaurants a lot and this is not, based on our experience, a 4-star range restaurant.

Nive indoor space, very well presented and the outdoor sitting is my favorite since it's summer but only past 8pm because it tends to be very hot outside. Great atmosphere, quick and cared service. Beautiful ambiance since there's a lot of other restaurants right next to it. Great for a date or family outtings.

We were there for lunch during summer. It was the only terrasse with system to cool down the temperature.

Repeatable. We had the hamburgers. Although the say 125g (~4oz) they were much bigger. Nice salad and fries too. Inside dining was comfortable. Wait staff friendly—they indulged my beginner French.

To be avoided: a tourist trap like you find so often in tourist places: fries are sucked up in oil, Pokebowl tasteless ( except the corn from the can), service bad, really bad

Good post, food not bad but the waiters only speak French and the service is very slow and there is a freezing wind blowing.

We visited on a Sunday night. We had high expectations as it’s a very pretty and aesthetic spot. Service staff were lovely and accommodating however the food was expensive and inedible. The rigatoni was served stone cold, and the truffle gnocchi (not hand made) was actually served raw - we had to send both back to the kitchen, a first for us in Aix! I hope this place can turn things around (note, the sous chef is inexperienced and not able to run a kitchen solo) however for us we will not be back. I would advise people to choose a different restaurant for dinner, but for Apéro, it will work nicely.

The food was okay, but a bit blend. The tastes in all dishes we tried (6 people) could be worked on and more elaborate. The staff was nice, but very slow and forgetting everything we asked for. We had to ask a couple of times each for bread, water, and sauces and we gave up on the sauces eventually. The waiters look very young and I experienced as they couldn’t remember anything - They were two at the cash machine and were struggling, they insisted on us splitting the bill but as we wanted to each pay for what we individually ordered, it took forever (a minimum of 3/5 min each) to pay for the whole bill note. It’s a shame as located in the beautiful place des cardeurs, the terrasse is lovely but the service was really poor and the food could be so improved.
