This is the reason you go to Provence. Husband and wife team really running the place like a well oiled machine. Husband was a chef teacher and he hired one of his students. Seasonal menu and specials are whatever is fresh that day. We had mushroom risoto as well as the turbot. Both were excellent. The fig with vanilla cream likely in the top 5 desserts I have ever eaten. The wine list is smart and not voluminous and is basically everything the they like to drink. read more

This was an absolutely incredible experience and the food was amazing. Everything tasted so good. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was very hospitable and recommended us excellent dishes. The wine we ordered paired very well with the food. There's also a well underneath the restaurant which I thought was very cool. read more

We had the most amazing meal here for our last night in Aix-en-Provence. The inside of the restaurant felt like we were in a cave, in the best way possible. It was a nice atmosphere. We chose the set menu for €55 that came with a starter, entree, and dessert. The salmon ceviche was divine and one of my favorite salmon dishes ever. I chose the chicken with corn 3 ways and the chicken was very moist and flavorful. My husband loved his mushroom risotto and said it was his favorite meal the entire trip. We also enjoyed our desserts. The owner brought us champagne once he heard we were celebrating our honeymoon which was a very thoughtful gesture. We had a great meal here and will visit if we ever return to Aix! read more

What was amazing? Everything! Mitch and his wife were very welcoming, friendly and gave great recommendations. We had the set menu and have never had a better meal in France. The octopus in coconut was out of this world...the fish of the day was cod and tuna and was amazing...wine paired with it all and delicious desserts to top it all off. And I forgot to mention the amuse bouches...olives, gazpacho, beet crème, and watermelon with goat cheese. We are definitely coming back and recommending to all our friends. Super spot for foodies. We ate in the lovely calm interior with beautiful artwork but outside looked nice too. Good acoustics too. Ten stars if we could! read more

On a lively street in Aix, delicious dinners are served alongside wonderful wines of the region. This is a small restaurant so reservations are advised. The asparagus lightly sprinkled with Parmesan alongside guanciale ( pork cheeks, similar to lardons) was delicate and a good lead into the boucher choice, which on my day was duck (lucky me). The hostess-wife and proprietor was very gracious in that in my faulty french I mistakenly ordered a bottle of wine instead of a glass and she, with much laughing grace, pardoned me. I highly recommend a visit. read more

My dinner at Mitch was terrific. I was greated by Mitch himself and he made the experience very special. Each course was delicious--the Butternut Squash soup, the sea bass , and the chocolate dessert (chocolate done 3 ways) made for a mémorable, innovative repas. Don't miss Mitch if you are in Aix! And be sure to make a reservation ! read more

Would highly recommend and hope we can return at some point. read more

We were very disappointed in this highly regarded restaurant. We had the tasting menu. The asparagus and bacon first course was ok, crunchy but the sauce did not contribute. The risotto main course was entirely tasteless, like bad baby food, and could not be rescued with salt and pepper. The people at the next table were similarly trying unsuccessfully to improve this dish. The chicken entree was overcooked, tough and tasteless. The pear and chocolate dessert had tasteless bits of pear, little slices of chocolate and an unidentifiable substance. Given all of the enthusiasm for this restaurant, we were perplexed. read more

Best meal I had in Aix-en-Provence! This was suggested to us at the hotel and he made the reservation for 7:30pm which is the earliest time to go for dinner here, most restaurants close till then. Mitch and his wife couldn't be more gracious. They gave us complimentary tastes. My husband ordered the main dish which was Sea Bream and Pollack. I ordered the three course meal which is slightly smaller size which I was able to taste everything! Truly a memorable meal and experience! read more

We came to Mitch on our first night in Aix and it was just the right speed for concluding our extremely long travel day. We sat outside to enjoy the ambiance of the mostly pedestrian street. The food was beautifully presented and used fresh, seasonal ingredients. Servers were patient with our jet-lagged French skills and easily shifted between French and English. Definitely an Aix highlight. read more

Mitch - French Near Me - Aix en Provence, 13

Best meal in Provence and a wonderful effort all around by Mitch and company. Thankful for the incredible food, service, and ambience. Thank you from Los Angeles! We've been reminiscing about our trip to France since we got home and our dinner with you was a high point. Mercí! read more

Nice presentations of food... small servings on the pre-fixe menu, but it will fill you up. You can also pick the same dishes a la carte in bigger portions. They have some outdoor seating, your mileage will very depending on how busy it is that night so assume it will be a quiet outdoor seating. The service is very attentive and they do a good job of explaining the menu and dishes. All the staff speaks english. Desserts look nice, but adding sorbet to a dessert kills it for me... I would order a la carte and skip the dessert. read more

Loved the outdoor seating, along with the other restaurants, on a small charming street. There were some seating indoors as well. Recommend booking your reservation about 7:30 or 8:00 PM to enjoy the light going down & eventually turning dark to soak in the atmosphere. Do slather on bug repellent as the critters can come out during the warm evenings. Of course, outdoor seating in France does mean you may get a smoking neighbor seated next to you. The server & the rest of the staff were very nice & professional. As for the food, we loved some dishes & some dishes we were not too crazy about. The amuse bouche had a very refreshing cold soup served in a glass and the watermelon & cheese was good. The other two was a bit nondescript. All the fish dishes were outstanding but we could have done without some of the frothy accompaniments. Deconstructed fruit crumble was great and paired well with the espresso. We didn't like the chocolate cake with pickled carrots too much. The "pickle" kind of overwhelmed the plate. The Prosecco was served a bit warm. All in all, enjoyable but wish all the dishes were more consistent. read more

We first came here 7 years ago. Returning to Aix again this year we were looking forward to dining with Mitch again. We were not disappointed. The food quality and level of service remain outstanding. We highly recommend Mitch to anyone wanting a unique modern French experience. read more

We were in town and asked for a good fish restaurant. Mitch was recommended so there we went with little to no specific expectations. What a treat this evening was. Everything was outstanding !!!! Definitely a go to place if you like fine dining read more

I decided to try this restaurant' read the reviews . It was well worth it. The owner waited on us. We ordered the prixe fixed menu and we were Glad we did. The lezl started with an amuse bouche with sauce. I chose the first course of foie gras with soft boiled egg on toast and my friend order the fish appetizer.Both were delicious . We both ordered the doraudo fish dish with sauce and veggies. For dessert she had the lemon eclair and I ordered the mango , pineapple panda cotta. Wow! Delicious meal, great Provençal rosé, Excellent service! read more

Just amazing. The owner was frazzled that we asked for a table without a reservation but we did get a table in the beautiful cellar. We had a refreshing pastis appetizer. The food was delicious and great service. The wine selection was very nice. Our best meal in Aix. read more

Amazing dining experience. Experienced combinations of flavors I would never or know where to get in the US. AWESOME Atmosphere and wonderful staff that presented the food to our party and made the whole dinner even better than I could have imagined read more

Best meal yet!! Wanted to go yesterday but Mitch, the owner said they had to close early because the sous chef burned himself. So we turned up tonight and was so happy to get to experience this gem. I got the prix fixe for €49 which includes a starter, entree and dessert. The presentation of each dish is beautiful but the taste was superb!! Mitch recommended a delicious aperitif but forgot to get the name. Tasted like a moscato... Highly recommend trying this fantastic place!!! read more

算是普罗旺斯地区非常不错的餐厅了，服务，菜品都很不错，虽然价格相对略高，但真的值得一来！ Ps:套餐一里面的duck tartar是全生鸭肉来的，对于吃不了生肉的朋友来说千万要慎重。 =======English version======= Really a great restaurant in AIX. Good services, good food, even the price is a little bit higher than others, but it's a really great restaurant you have to be if you are around AIX. Ps: the duck tartar is RAW! Lol read more

Solid French cuisine delivered in a caring and creative fashion. There are many wonderful restaurants in Aix - but this would be near the top of our list. Recommended by a few of the locals - Mitch was everything one could hope for in a vacation dining experience - warm, friendly and delicious. read more

Don't know why this place doesn't have a Michelin star, it was some of the best food we had anywhere in France. Everything was so deliciously complex and I am still dreaming about the shrimp. We started with foie gras in a broth which I was apprehensive about because it was so hot while we were there, but it was outstanding. Even the strawberry dessert blew us away. Mitch himself waited on us and couldn't have been nicer. If you are in Aix, you MUST go here. read more

A gem in Aix, they are only open for dinner and closed on Mondays. We called to make a reservation and Mitch picked up on his cell and said "okay" and that was that. You will not easily get an outdoor table if you just show up. Call first. There are 3 tasting menus with differing prices. We went with the premiere and didn't regret it. The foie gras 2 ways (start), steak especially the potatoes (main), and 3 way strawberry dessert were all delicious and unique. The crab salad was only okay - not much crab unfortunately. No complaints here.. Waiters are also a riot. Shout out to Nicolas, without an h. :) read more

Among all the great restaurants we went in Provence and Côte d'Azur during the past 10 days, we have to say we are not thrilled of the food here. read more

This restaurant is absolutely fabulous! We stayed at Pavillion de la Torse in Aix-en-Provence this past May and they highly recommended this restaurant. It's very small so our B&B hosts called and made reservations for us. The food was phenomenal. From the appetizers to dessert each plate was gorgeous and prepared perfectly. I wish I could remember exactly what I ate but I was in such a bliss coma the whole night (actually for the whole trip!) I just remember every bite was delicious. We ordered a nice bottle of Bordeaux with dinner and instead of a digestif after dinner we decided to just get another glass of wine. When we asked to look at the wine list to make our selection, Mitch himself came over and said that he had a very nice bottle of wine from his own personal collection that he had opened to share with some friends. He told us there was enough left in the bottle for two more glasses if we wanted to try that. Of course we did!!! First off the wine was a very generous pour! Secondly it was phenomenal! Thirdly, he didn't even charge us for it! Truly a special experience in Provence! If you are traveling to France and are visiting Aix-en- Provence, go here. You won't be dissapointed! read more

If there were more stars to give, I would give them to Mitch. The absolute best restaurant in Aix and everywhere else in the world. In the 4 years we have been coming here in August the quality is still fabulous. Mitch himself is the consummate restauranteur and the chef is a genius. Every year the menu is changed; definitely not the same old, same old. This time my veal was outstanding, my husband's fish was delicious and the dessert simply out of this world. Can't wait to go back next week!!!! read more

We were referred to the restaurant by a the owner of a touring service we used, and the meal was the best we had while we stayed in Aix. The service was attentive and helpful, the food was beautifully presented and the tastes were excellent. There is an amazing painting in the restaurant supposedly of Bob Marley, but looks very much like Mitch! According to him, he painted it. Whatever, the food was great and we recommend it highly. read more

It's hard to tell all the bistros apart when you walk down the pedestrian streets in Aix but this place is a cut above, offering really outstanding French fare. Nothing like your typical bistro; both the presentation and flavor of the food is nuanced and impressive. We had the most amazing steak special (an excellent cut of meat, cooked perfectly), a delicious fois gras starter (designed to look like a classic French dessert- a neat spin they put on all starters), and a fantastic pistachio-flour financier and cheeses for dessert. Truly amazing meal in all regards. Total price for two plus wine was about €100. We made 945pm reservation an hour in advance but maybe got lucky. Highly highly recommended. read more

Oh la la! We called at 8:45 pm on a Monday, and were lucky enough to get an outside table for 9:15. We were greeted with a gazpacho amuse as soon as we sat down. We wanted a light meal after a long, busy day, and our meal could not have been better. We opted for just entrées and a shared dessert. Each dish was prepared and presented beautifully, with tiny fabulous details like a carrot chip and beet purée on the plate. Just gorgeous, small plates with big, delicious flavors. Even my espresso was unusually tasty. Mitch was a gracious host, taking a bit of time to meet us and show a real interest. Service was attentive and not intrusive. Just a lovely experience from start to finish. BTW - one review said the restaurant was closed Mondays, but we ate there on a Monday. read more

Very good and interesting food at a very reasonable price given the quality, service, and creativity. We both got the slightly more expensive chef tasting option and enjoyed all of our dishes. Definitely recommended if you can eat a reservation and are in the area. read more

This is the best meal I've had in France after a month of traveling throughout the country. Honestly, it may be the best meal I've had in my life. My husband and I are staying in a flat next door to Mitch's and we randomly stopped in tonight at 8 p.m. without a reservation. They had just opened the doors for dinner and we asked if we could have a table. Mitch said they were entirely booked for the night, but happened to have one table for two left. A couple, better dressed and much more elegant looking, followed us in and asked for a table and were turned away. Within half an hour, the restaurant was filled to the brim with people who were wise enough to make reservations! This was the first of many blessings tonight. The ambience of this intimate restaurant is so romantic. It's beautifully lit with soft jazzy music playing in the background. The wait staff were generous enough to speak English to us after we struggled a bit with our French. Both our young waiter and Mitch spoke perfect English and were able to describe the menu and wines eloquently. After being seated, we were treated to complimentary soup appetizer shots (squash with truffle foam). From this moment, we knew couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu. We each chose the prix fixe menu (there were 4 different combinations to choose from). I had the Foie Gras which sent endorphins rushing through my entire body. The filet de boeuf was one of the softest I've ever had. And the desert, a fresh pear and chocolate bomb was presented in such a surprising and charming way that I gasped with delight. I've never had such exquisitely plated and prepared food in my life. Please don't miss an opportunity to eat at Mitch's but to ensure your visit make a reservation. read more

Another great place in Aix! Not as fancy as Le Formal but definitely great food and presentation. A must go back. An advance reservation could be helpful. read more

After many nights of good eating in France, the dinner at Mitch was among the best of the entire trip. First off, after our wine selection wasn't available, Mitch recommended another one which turned out to be fabulous and smooth. He told us about the vineyard and the qualities of the wine. The three of us in my party ordered different meals. I tried a bit of everything: the shrimp was well cooked, the tartine was soft and flaky, and the mackerel on top flavorful, the steak was tender, juicy, and not too fatty. I had the roasted pork which was to die for. The meat was cooked perfectly and accompanied by two light sauces which complemented the pork well. The vegetables that accompanied were also cooked to perfection. Overall, both the food, the ambience, and the knowledge and generosity of the owner makes this restaurant worth going back to! Now if only I lived in Aix..... read more

This place was truly amazing. The service was friendly and all three courses were outstanding. I would recommend this to everyone.

We read the great reviews and followed a group to the restaurant. Definitely make reservations. We were lucky to get in after a little wait. The menu has several choices. I had scallops as an appetizer and steak for the main course. Much like the other reviewers this was one of the best meals I have ever had. There was great conversation between the tables and when we were the last people left Mitch sat and talked with us. Everything was fantastic including his own paintings on the wall. Dessert alone was worth the trip. Highly recommended read more

My favorite restaurant! I've lived in France for over 2 years now, I've tried over 30 restaurants, and this is by far the best I've found. Mitch is a sure bet. It's a great place to bring visiting guests. They'll love it! The menu is simple, a 3 course meal for 25, 35, or 45€. Each dish looks beautiful and tastes amazing. And the menus change with the seasons. Every time we've gone, the service has been perfect, and Mitch himself is a great host. read more

Intimate restaurant in Aix with great ambience, food, and service. 3 members of our party chose the one of three tasting menus and the last chose an entree a la carte. My quail was moist and flavorful, the lamb was prepared at a perfect medium rare, and the caramel cake at the end was a great way to end the night -full-bodied but not overly sweet. Our waiter helped us choose a wine that would complement both fish and lamb and was attentive throughout our meal. read more

Mitch is a good restaurant in terms of food and selection options. The mediocre food is presented beautifully and the service is competent and spoke English. The ambiance is comfortable and polished. Most of the diners were not French when we were there and the place was packed. We were surprised by the unmistakable and annoying recurrent beeping from a microwave oven at the end of a timed cooking cycle. It left us wondering how much of our meal came from a microwave. read more
