The restaurant is situated in a square with a foundation. Pleasant neighborhood in old Aix. Service was pleasant, efficient, and attentive. They were able to communicate in English, although two of our party communicated in French. Food was excellent. I highly, highly recommend the duck breast. One of my favorites and their duck breast was the best I'd ever had. Deserts were fantastic with two of my group enjoying the chocolate fondant cake. For American sensibilities, we found the portions very large and very reasonably priced. Overall, a great place. Enjoy the food in France, it is near impossible to get anything that approaches this level of quality back home.

Everything was GREAT! Food atmosphere the works!!! I was VERY satisfied with the entire experience.read more

He was currently in Paris apparently at a competition! You can tell immediately when you walk in how cool this place is. It gave me a 20,000 leagues under the sea kinda vibe, low red under tones but not too dark, you can tell it's a bar/restaurant. Also excellent music, our waiter put on an Amy Winehouse playlist. All of our food exceeded our expectations, and I was especially impressed with the desserts. I hope to return here again the next chance I get to visit France!

D'un pub bon enfant assez couru à midi, il est passé au statut de bar-design à l'ambiance lounge, adapté à l'exploitation de jour comme de nuit.Au niveau des racines du lieu, le nouveau "Solfé" a gardé la bonne habitude, notamment à l'heure du déjeuner, de proposer des plats du jours ainsi qu'une carte fixe qui n'ont rien à envier à un restaurant classique. En hiver, ne ratez pas le pot-au-feu, valeur sûre du lieu. En été, la salade fashion , composée de gambas, de saumon fumé et d'œufs de lump aura certainement la préférence des amateurs de fraîcheurs marines. Conservé aussi, le principe des après-midis et soirées sportives, surtout orientées vers le football. Mais il convient de noter une importante évolution technique : à l'intérieur, où que l'on soit placé, on se trouve de toutes façons au cœur du spectacle, puisque trois écrans plasma diffusent les images

I ordered a red wine off the menu called Expresión which was my favorite. Thanks to the waitress for the suggestion. She was extremely busy since she was covering over ten tables by herself but she was lovely. Just remember you are in France so there were no English menus and employees have very limited English vocabulary but if you are looking for a true Tapas French experience by a main square , for good people watching, I would recommend this place. It's a good place to start the night before you go to your dinner reservations or afterhours.
