A few steps from the Rotonde, Yoji is probably the best sushi and Japanese food in Aix. It has a good terrace in summer which is almost a garden, and inside is welcoming and smart. The service is excellent. As well as sushi the gyoza stand out and there is a Korean bbq, which means […]
This modern cafe sprawls across the new shopping centre of Les Allées Provencales. We wouldn’t recommend it for lunch when service can be slow and food is average, but it’s a good place for breakfast – freshly squeezed juice, decent coffee and croissants.

He can do all this because inside there are about 4 tables, and a few more outside in the warmer months. His food is thought out, organic, […]
