Unparalleled quality. For Renaud and Rémi, at the helm of this renowned address, the recipe for a good contemporary pizza can be summed up in three commandments: top-level dough, a competitive wood-burning oven and very well-sourced products, in short, the exquisite art of simplicity that these two long-time friends have the secret of. The decor follows, with a bistro atmosphere and a Mediterranean-style terrace in summer. A tip: book!

A gourmet break out of time with a view of the hills of Provence. At the entrance of Old Vernègues, in a house that resisted the 1909 earthquake, this establishment run by the same family since 1990 serves as a creperie and artisan ice cream shop. For lunch and dinner, savory crepes, salads and omelettes are on the menu.
For dessert or in the afternoon, make way for ice cream and sweet crepes. The place, located under the Grand Puech plateau, is also at the heart of beautiful walks or hikes. Happiness all year round, between panoramic terrace and intimate room with fireplace.

Eat the Luberon. In Provençal, “doing bachèto” means staying at the table for a long time. This expression that invites sharing gave its name to the restaurant of the 4* hotel, located in the old mill of the 18th century^E century, in Lourmarin. It still houses two ancient wine presses within its walls. The chef practices local cuisine prepared according to the seasons and local productions, according to an elegant Provençal score sometimes punctuated by inspirations from the world. An ode to conviviality.

‍

The concept of farmers' cooperative for direct sale. This one, which enters its 10^E year, now brings together 100 member producers who offer the best of their farms in sustainable and organic agriculture. Organic peasant breads, seasonal fruits and vegetables, local meats, meats, local meats, fish, fish, dairy products and cheeses, sweet and savory groceries, wines, beers and many other products are delivered daily to the store: a guarantee of freshness and an opportunity to meet producers on site.

‍

The quality approach from A to Z. This house, created in 2013, has become an institution in the Aix bakery industry thanks to word of mouth. Natural sourdough breads, tasty, digestible and of excellent nutritional quality, are made with organic flours without additives or enhancers. The founders, Jeff Boivin and Thomas Teffri-Chambelland, are committed to maintaining solid local agriculture through a short supply chain: they have established, beforehand, a lasting and trusting relationship with their producers and suppliers.

‍

Calissons have a remarkable taste and finesse. Founded in 1874 by a Swiss confectioner, Maison Parli, a venerable institution in Aix, celebrates its 151st anniversary^E year in 2025. Her secret? Full control of the calissons manufacturing cycle, which begins with the confection of the fruits, on site, using ancestral methods. The dough, rich in almonds and sweetened with fruit syrup, is ground with ancient granite rolls that preserve the texture of the ingredients. In 2022, 3,000 almond trees were planted on 10 ha cultivated organically in Ventabren, reflecting the company's desire for permanent improvement.

First choice meats, poultry and charcuterie. La Bouchery du Palais is first and foremost a family story: Stéphane, Sabine and their son Romain perpetuate the tradition of excellence of this local institution created in 1981 by the grandfather. After several decades on the Place des Prêchers, they decided to move to the Puyricard plateau, within the cluster of businesses at the Marché Aixois. In the vast auction room, the stall makes your mouth water more than ever!

‍

The quality of oils from a local mill. Housed in an 18th century building^E century and modernized in 2024, this increasingly successful mill highlights an exceptional olive-growing region.

For dessert, you can choose between frozen mochi, hotteok or bungeo-ppang. Many Korean products are for sale on site. Delivery possible.

The taste of sweet Provence. In 1920, Ernest Guillet created La Nougaterie du Roy René in Aix, a small confectionery workshop in the purest local tradition. Since then, La Confiserie du Roy René, which is the heir to it, has perpetuated the know-how of calissons d'Aix, nougats de Provence, fruit jellies and a multitude of other delicacies. The ancient spa town now has three shops. As for sweets, they are more rooted than ever in the regional territory.

The pleasure of artisanal roasting in a pleasant neighborhood atmosphere. La Brûlerie, which has marked Place Richelme with its convivial and fragrant imprint since 1983, roasts around twenty coffees with various aromas on site. All are ground on demand to maintain their character and aromatic complexity. In the store, the counter spirit invites you to taste, travel and share, with a warm decor, friendly service and a dedicated team.
