Le Comptoir du Clos sur Aix-En-Provence

We thought it would be a more upscale dining experience, it wasn’t. So comparing our expectations to the reality, this is our rating.

This upscale restaurant is housed in a hotel that is not easy to access. However, it must be recognized that once you arrive in the hall, the welcome is impeccable. The decor in golden tones is classy but lacking in certain details for this level of standing and price. The food is good and cooked just right, I was expecting more originality in the flavors. But I remain very positive about this restaurant.

Very good food, but the beef fillet was really too light on the plate for a price of €42!!

Very beautiful and very good champagne cocktails. Too bad our starters arrived almost at the same time. However, everything was very good. Arriving at desserts, we were very disappointed by the fruit salad which looked like a canteen dessert served in a bowl with very roughly cut pieces. As for the chocolate dome, it was very good.

Very good and the manager is great! He is an exemplary manager who understands hospitality and small touches. Well done!

A perfectly orchestrated intermission meal

If the cuisine and the service are good, the reservation system is completely faulty: reservation accepted then rejected, a month later by simple electronic message without explanation, under the pretext that a prepayment had not been validated. However, when booking, no prepayment request was requested, and when calling the restaurant, the person on the line from the restaurant confirmed my reservation. Totally inappropriate for this level of establishment.

Unique dinner offered during the intermission of an opera. Effective for a limited time. The starter and desert were good but the fish was disappointing. We cannot base this restaurant on dinner.

This is the hotel restaurant for the Renaissance Aix-en-Provence. The staff here is decent and the breakfast buffet is large. They have a bread station, a patisserie station, a hot food area, a chef that will make you any kind of eggs you want, and then they have juices, waters, coffees, and teas. The dining room looks like a hotel dining room. It does get crazy busy during breakfast hours and stays that way for the entire time they’re doing breakfast service. The food is decent and fresh and for free, as it comes with my level of Bonvoy, I felt it was a really good deal.

La salle est toujours agréable avec, en partie, des « alcôves ». Pour le déjeuner (3 personnes), nous avions opté pour une assiette de charcuterie corse (partagée comme suggéré sur le menu). Pour « suivre » nous avons retenu les suggestions (plats du jour) proposées : viande et poisson respectivement. Qualité et quantité (portions copieuses) étaient au rendez-vous. Pour terminer nous avons choisi un dessert meringué et deux cafés gourmands (respectivement). Le rapport qualité / prix est correct (60 € par personne pour le repas, une bouteille de vin, et une bouteille d’eau). Cependant (contrairement aux années précédentes) il n’est plus pris en charge le parking payant de l’hôtel et mon courriel adressé à la direction de l’hôtel Renaissance est resté sans aucune suite ni réponse de sa part.
