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.

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.

We rate our lunch in the top 5 we have ever enjoyed, up there with meals in Florence, sushi in Maui, and so on. The waiter who greeted us viewed our kids, ages 9 and 12, skeptically and noted he lacked a children's menu. Nevertheless, I assured him we would be fine- our 12 year old loves escargot and I was certain we would find chicken to satisfy my daughter. Boy were we right! We started with those escargot, frogs legs, and a terrine. The frogs legs were extraordinarily tender and flavorful. The sauce around them was best eaten with a spoon. The house rose was a perfect match and on we went to some of the most perfect cod in pistou, a perfect roasted chicken with a salty (we loved it) sauce and mashed potatoes to dream about, and a quenelle I cannot describe because it seemed like Yorkshire pudding of a sort but the most amazing version I've ever encountered. We couldn't stop smiling. The waiter grew happier and danced around to some Motown, and by the end the chef came out and accepted our applause! For one in France, the bill felt like a steal too. I cannot believe we walked right in without a reservation at 1 pm on a Thursday. They deserve a Michelin star, and it's worth whatever you must do to get there. #blessed
