Le Mas Bottero

A disappointment, though it was recommended by a culinary critic friend. Nice restaurant. Good service. Very competent wine list. We had the Menu Saison. The starter was literally inedible - artichoke was so hard, it tasted like plastic. Even though we left most of the artichoke on the plate, nobody asked us if something was wrong. Such a dish is a disgrace for a restaurant with a Michelin star. The salmon was very good. Chicken pie had barely any chicken, mostly dough. The strawberry dessert was excellent, light and not too sweet. So at the end, the restaurant is not worth a 20-30 minute trip from Aix. Not recommended!

What a spectacular treat for the soul the mind and the pallet it was incredible each dish was a world in itself as the whole was a journey to paradise. An ordinary place from outside also is very much nicer inside and better the staff was irreproachable attentive in many minute details I loved it our waiter waitress and sommeliere did really know what they talked about and most of all were pleasant effortlessly. Thank again for that marvellous Sunday we all appreciated.

We had a wonderful dinner at Le Mas Bottero. Every dish was absolutely wonderful and showed great attention to detail in plating and in flavors. They even "referred back to one another" slyly. The dessert -- a deconstruction and rebuilding from the ground up of strawberry-rhubarb "pie" -- was just amazing. They were extremely helpful and careful for our one diner who is truly gluten allergic and made her several different dishes which were safe for her, yet still delicious. The wine list is medium-sized and outstanding. We got expert assistance in choosing a reasonably priced Burgundy, which was a superb wine. I was disappointed to see the room only half full on a Thursday, given the great quality of the food. It is so good that if they can bring up the service a notch (we found ourselves pouring our own wine and water, as our charming but inexperienced waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed; fine from my point of view, but not something the Michelin guide appreciates) -- if not for that, then I would think this would deserve a second Michelin star.

Outstanding “return from hunting “ tasting menu with a fantastic lièvre à la royale . The sommelier was also very knowledgeable and friendly. I’ll definitely come back.

Our experience at Le Mas Bottero was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance exuded elegance and warmth, setting the stage for a remarkable evening. The menu was meticulously crafted with each dish it’s own culinary delight and work of art, beautifully plated and thoughtfully prepared. The service was impeccable, with the staff's knowledge and enthusiasm elevating our dining experience. It was truly an unforgettable evening. We look forward to returning in the future!

We had a very pleasant lunch. Each dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Very good value for money. This restaurant has a well deserved reputation. We only have two minor criticisms- in the winter months the Chef should offer a potage/soup; and the smell from the washroom near the front entrance should be corrected.

We had a memorable and enjoyable meal at Le Mas Bottero. The food was beautifully presented, seasonal and delicious. They graciously accomodated our dietary restrictions. The staff was warm, friendly and charming without any pretension or stuffiness. We appeared to be the only Americans in the restaurant, which was nice.

We took the 7 saveurs menu, and the sommelier proposed us 2 bottles of wine that matched the food, because we didn't know what to choose. It was not just wonderful food, it was a great experience, a relaxed atmosphere and a lot of fun. Too bad we're living so far from it, we would love to come back soon!
