Both dishes were good and very professional service, however, I would have appreciated a bit larger portion for the price (the tajine was a lot of couscous and less vegetable).

I could not disagree more with the previous 3 star review, from 2013…read more We have come here every morning during our stay in Aix. We did get some pain au chocolat which were very good, but the croissants were amazing. Out of this world. Almost melt in your mouth. So we run down to lavarenne and make coffee in our rented apartment. Tomorrow we may top it with some local jam we found today. Every morning there is a market right outside of the shop, and it is so quintessential French. It's amazing. Tomorrow we're going for a drive in the country and plan on picking up tons of croissants and a whole baguette, slathering them all in butter (as if they needed any more butter) and maybe jam and/or cheese. Best plan ever. Tldr: Get the croissants here!!

We just had the best meal since coming to France at Le Jardin d'Amalula (The Garden of Amalula)…read more When we asked the owner what Amalula means, she said it is a contraction of the first names of her daughters: Amandine, Lucile, and Laurine. Laurine is the chef. The outside of the restaurant is inconspicuous; in fact, we walked right past it. But you walk down a corridor, through a small courtyard, and then into the small restaurant. But it's the garden out back that is beautiful. That's where we sat. My wife had Le Provençale, a tartine (toast) with bush cheese, red fruits jam, dried figs, dried tomatoes, and parma ham (like prosciutto). Delicious! I chose the plat du jour based on the owner's recommendation. Not sure what it's called but it was a tartine with tuna tartare & passion fruit, chutney with mango, pineapple, & red pepper, slices of avocado, and orange zest with pink berries. I don't know how they do it. Amazing flavor combinations. Glad we found this place with plenty of time to go back another time or two. Highly recommend!

There's almost no upstairs seating, but there is the "cave" (cellar) below, which extends into a second room. But if you're waiting, better to stay in the front room, because if your order gets called (by the cook hollering from BEHIND the crepe cooktop), you'll never hear it. (This happened with the couple ahead of me; we were both stuck behind a crowd of 4 people, who populated the seats upstairs. The couple originally went back into the second room, then realized that they'd never hear their name. They came out and we chatted in Franglish for a while -- I know passable French, they knew some English. Eventually they went up to check...and she'd just called them.) The food was fine (good jambon et fromage crepe; decent hard cider), but overall, if you pass by and see a mob, it's probably better to keep on walking...
