L'envie, France sur Aix-En-Provence

Interesting menu, very friendly welcome, original cellar setting...but this is a cellar, it's very noisy... And the original menu doesn't taste good...it lacked a lot of flavor...the tuna like the beef had no taste...the saltiness is in the bill.

Expected more given the stellar reviews and the price point, but the flavours were mostly plain and the portion sizes for the entrée and dessert were a bit too big. If eating as 2, I'd recommend sharing an entrée and dessert. Zucchini fritter - yummy starter, well seasoned House bread - Quite sad, not soft, not textured, little flavour. Felt like grocery store bread Foie gras crème brûlée (entrée) - honestly big enough for two. Flavour was nice, though it got a bit boring after a while. Also served with too few toasts for its size. Dos de cabillaud (plat) - cod was nice and delicate but overall the dish had too simple of a flavour. Also not very visually appealing as everything is just buried in sauce Sphère chocolat lactée, ananas, noix de coco et citron (dessert) - house special dessert that day. Probably my favourite course, lots of interesting complementary flavours. But again, so much food, could've been split between two people (the ball is filled entirely with the citron cream)

Very pleasant evening spent magnificent restaurant friendly owner tasty dishes great discovery

We are still installed when I write this review! And I give it a 5 star ⭐️ Fresh and sophisticated cuisine, with taste, carefully crafted recipes 👌🏼 Impeccable service with a smile and all kindness! A team and a great duo for a great meal 👏🏼 Continue to delight your guests and keep your smile 😀

The service was top notch, everything was very good but expensive for what it is.

The price is out of step with the quality of the plates. Despite very friendly service, we left disappointed.

Don’t pass by this small, off-the-main-street, restaurant. Its going to be the best food you’ll have in Aix or the whole Provence! Absolutely recommend: ❤️ crème brûlée foie gras ❤️ la tomate de l’Envie ❤️ tarte tatin de souris d’agneau Merci mille fois 😘

The food was unique and delicious. Highly recommend

Di passaggio a Aix non era stata la nostra prima scelta, ma il ristoratore che non aveva più posto, sollecitato di un consiglio, ci ha suggerito questo piccolo grazioso locale. Nel centro storico ma non nella zona movida, qui di silenzioso e raccolto (siamo stati nel dehors) ci ha servito piatti gustosi, molto curati e reinterpretati (come la tarte Tatin). Ricco, appetitoso e leggero (dormiremo bene questa notte)

Ce petit restaurant dans une cave (attention à l'accessibilité par un escalier en colimaçon) n'est pas dans un quartier très animé. Le serveur très sympa est très à l'écoute mais on sent que la cuisine à du mal à fournir vite (quelques minutes entre chaque plat) La carte courte mais originale sort des plats bien présentés mais manquant d'un peu d'assaisonnement ou au contraire de rééquilibrage des saveurs. Le dessert pomme en trompe l'œil montre un bon savoir faire.
