You have to read some of the reviews and see for yourself what the talk is about. We walked over and without reservation, scored a seat in the patio. Our 3 course meal was 20 euro but it none of the dishes were memorable. The dishes had a home cooked feeling, as if you could make the dishes at home, but nothing tasted out of this world. My bf got the short ribs and I got the baby chicken. Neither dishes were that great. Dessert was probably the best part of the meal. I probably would not return. For those who do not know the language: Owner speaks English. Waitresses know little English.

Not sure what "SCI Charlotte" refers to. This restaurant is called, variously,…read moreResto Charlotte, Chez Charlotte, or Restaurant Charlotte, at least online, as far as I can tell. On the other hand, there's no actual sign or label at the unassuming entrance on rue des Bernardines -- which could generously be called a side street but almost borders on an alley. This is NOT your typical restaurant in touristy Aix-en-provence. We sought it out because a website described it as the sort of place that the Aixoise would go. Well, that may be, and I certainly would not blame them, but there were plenty of tourists there when we dined on a weekday. (They basically open at 8pm, a more French dining time, while most establishments in the city accommodate touristic tastes and open as early as 7. In fact, our rather entertaining waiter seemed to speak French, English, and German fluently (to hear him banter with nearby tables) -- although he couldn't manage Mandarin. How to describe the food? "Unpretentious" would be accurate but maybe slightly misleading. It is a fantastic deal for a full meal compared to most sit-down restaurants in Aix. Expect well-executed, classic but un-fussy French cuisine in a pleasant outdoor courtyard. The vibe is fun, even on a less crowded evening. The two of us had the summer special gazpacho (amazing, and quite spicy) and the chicken liver pate (also very good) for entrees. Our main courses were a steak and a fillet of veal, both served with french-fry-like hash browns and haricot verts. A plum clafoutis and a nicely caramelly tarte tatin rounded out this meal -- very traditional bistro fare. (Both desserts were tasty, without being mind blowingly good or especially original.) At 40 Euros (tax + tip included, of course) for two people, including one glass of house red and one coffee, I think Chez Charlotte's menu might be the best deal in Aix.

I called the hotel at 15:00 and the man at reception said no dress had been found. I asked him to check the wardrobe in the room where I left it. He said he would go and ask housekeeping and check and call me back. I called him again and he said he could not find a dress. I then asked if he went to the room to check and he said yes. I asked him to please check again and he said he'd call me back. I then called and he said no dress but he couldn't get into the room because guests had been there. So he had previously lied to me when he said he checked the room. I then called again on Friday morning and spoke to Paul who accused me of lying about the dress in the hotel. I undeniably had the dress at the hotel and it went missing. Paul was extremely rude and refused to acknowledge that the dress may have been stolen by someone in the hotel. Worst hotel I have stayed at and Paul should be reprimanded for his behaviour. This hotel is extremely suspicious and unhelpful, overpriced and I have been a victim of crime there. They were unhelpful from the beginning and made no effort to help me as a guest. My dress has likely been stolen and the hotel (in particular Paul) has tried to blame me for this, which was complete insanity. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

We had scallops avocado and orange salad, and salted cod with mashed potatoes, aoli, tomato coulis and vegetables. The cod was artfully presented. Each accompaniment was separate on the plate but all mixed and matched together well as one wished. The house white wine was tasty. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the salad was lightly dressed. Each table is given their own olive oil, sea salt, balsamic mister, and pepper grinder to additionally dress salad or bread. Service is typical French, not hovering or rushing the diner. Price for the two entrees plus 25 cl. of wine was only 39 E or about $44.
