Although the menu was limited at this hour ("You like boeuf, no?"), the execution was superb. Much to our delight, we were presented with two exquisitely prepared filets of beef, cooked rare with a red wine sauce. Trés bon! After desert, the server delivered to our table two glasses and a bottle of liquor filled with some kind of clear spirit and various fruits (it reminded me of moonshine). The server just left the bottle and beckoned us to help ourselves--and there was no charge for it on our bill at the end of the meal either. Throughout the evening, we felt 100% at home and at ease, as if the entire restaurant existed just to serve us. The restaurant was filled entirely with what looked like locals, without a word of English spoken (except by us of course). It was a magical night, and we highly recommend it!

My friend and I had a pre-dinner apéro and snack here, and our friendly waiter directed me towards the drier of the two local rosés (first-world problem, and it was delicious), while my friend had an easy red that was delightfully chilled. We shared a dark tapenade (olive-y and fishy) and a mixed cheese/charcuterie plate with the requisite cornichons and pickled olives. They had two nice reds by the bottle, personal faves of mine - Vieux Télégraphe and Trevallon, at around €90, which is what they cost in a wine shop in New York anyway. Would happily come back.

Presentation for all the plates was beautiful. Started with the escargots which were seasoned perfectly with the right touch of garlic. The 3 plates the table ordered were the Dos de Cabillaud (Cod), the steak de Thon (tuna), and the burger. All were delicious. The cod comes topped with a salty tapenade that goes great with the fish and a side of polenta. Both fish came with a good ratatouille. The tuna was just a tad bit over cooked, but still tasted great. The burgers were impressive. Big and juicy with a tarter sauce that worked well. Then came dessert. Moelleux au chocolat (chocolate lava cake) was awesome. Just the right amount of gooey center. The krumble petite lu (warm apple tart) was very good. Only thing missing was vanilla ice cream. They served it with mango, which wasn't terrible...but it wasn't vanilla. It is not the most kid friendly place, but the staff made it an excellent experience even with kids. And even the kids loved the food.

If, like me, you're the sort of person who believes that wine and near-continuous intake of bread,…read moremeat and cheese are the only things we really need in life, then let me just take a second to congratulate you on making it to this Yelp page. After a turbulent start to our first trip to Aix-en-Provence in which our cab driver exited the vehicle mid-trip to brawl with a band of local youths (with our back-seat protests and gentle reminder to turn off the meter sadly unheeded), Le Vieux Tonneau was in the right place at the right time for we weary travelers in grave need of a bucket of wine. The charcuterie and cheese platter that was set in front of us after a short wait may very well be the closest thing to a religious experience I will ever have. It took me a long time to learn how not to openly weep when in close proximity to brie, but this one really tested my emotional fortitude. Don't be surprised if you find yourself, as I did, forgiving the bartender/meat-slicer his trespasses--ahem, man-bun--in tacit recognition of the beautiful spread he will put together for you. The wine was red and that's all I have to say about that. Also, hat tip to the waiter who must have seen the two of us trying to ration off our last slice of bread like we were on the freaking Mayflower and promptly came to our rescue with an extra basketful. Merci, sir. Merci. Pro tips: When others call LVT a "hidden" gem, believe them. Google Maps is dead to me after the wild goose chase into all the nooks and crannies of Aix it sent us on in search of this place. Best to just pinpoint Rue des Chaudronniers on a map and dust off the old-fashioned (#rip) walk-until-you-find-it method. And one final word to the wise, be prepared to break out your New York elbows in order to secure a table on a Friday or Saturday night. I won't say for certain that the couple that arrived after us and who we nearly bowled over on the way to an open table was bordering on elderly, but they weren't NOT old. They definitely had some fight in them, though.

My fiancé and I came by to get a bottle of rosé as a souvenir for our trip, and the service was excellent. They have a large selection of natural wines and were not snobby about price.

Our positive experience convinced us to swing back around for a nightcap later on in our time in Aix, and I'm so glad we did! The glass of bright pink champagne we enjoyed on their patio was quite possibly the most delicious wine I've ever had. We wanted to take home a bottle, but local liquor laws prevent sale after a certain time of night. If only I could turn back time....
