Vintrépide sur Aix-En-Provence

The food was excellent. Nice complementary appetizers offered with the usual fresh bread and water. Our first course or entrée, the foie gras was delicious. I opted for a lamb dish which was succulent and very flavorful along with very good vegetable side. Shared a tart with vanilla and raspberry ice cream and a meringue topping, and it was delicious. Presentation was excellent. I would’ve liked to have been seated more inside the restaurant, we were too close to the entrance, but there were three of us and it was obviously a very difficult place to get a reservation, understandably so!

A fabulous dinner From appetizer to dessert A small menu that guarantees the quality of the dishes. Efficient and very friendly service. We recommend it 100%.

The products were of high quality. However, the service was a bit disorganized. You have to ask for a description of the wines, but to be fair, he's working alone with his chef. In short, for a Bib Gourmand, a little more commitment wouldn't hurt.

A superb discovery! We had dinner at Vintrépide last night with friends, and everything was perfect for a wonderful evening. We were seated in the quiet cellar, surrounded by bottles of wine—a truly intimate atmosphere. The welcome was warm and attentive, and the wine list is simply outstanding. As for the food, the selection is intentionally limited, which for me is a real sign of quality: seasonal produce, homemade dishes… and this is confirmed on the plate! We sampled several starters and main courses: the cooking was perfectly executed, the seasonings spot-on, and each dish was meticulously prepared. Special mention should also go to the fact that there are only two of them, one in the kitchen and one serving. A huge congratulations for this daily dedication—we know the realities of the profession, and it's not always easy. It's the kind of place you leave feeling like you had a truly great time, with absolutely no regrets. As a restaurant owner myself, I'm quite demanding… and this place is flawless: 10/10. I highly recommend it! Barbara

Our dinner at Vintrépide was a real treat. It's been a long time since I've been so impressed by a meal. Everything was delicious! So good! And the price was affordable, so I can only recommend this restaurant.

We dined at this restaurant twice and absolutely loved it. Although we no longer drink wine, but we still really enjoyed looking through the wine list. The owner clearly has a deep passion for wine and offers an excellent selection—you can truly feel how much care goes into it. The same attention is reflected in the food. The menu is not very large, but every dish is prepared with so much heart. You can taste the care and thought put into every bite. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. I hope that the next time we return to Aix, this restaurant will still maintain its wonderful standards.

We were lucky to dine surrounded by a thousand treasures: right there in the cellar. The scallops, like the rest of the meal (sea bass for some, lamb for a third), were perfectly prepared. The wine selection was incredible; the restaurateur expertly guided us towards a 2022 Fixin that was simply perfect. We'll be back as soon as possible.

Magical!! Everything was perfect From beginning to end Highly recommended

It's simply perfect! There are still restaurants that actually cook. Really. This is one of them—and that makes all the difference. Everything is cooked on-site, using carefully selected fresh produce from French and local producers. This commitment to authenticity is evident in every dish: the flavors are bold, the cooking precise, the combinations subtle without ever being showy. The menu, intentionally concise—three appetizers, three main courses, three desserts—reflects genuine confidence. The confidence of a chef who prioritizes mastery over abundance. Each dish is thoughtful, balanced, and refined with precision. The wine list also deserves attention: a discerning and interesting selection, accompanied by expert advice that demonstrates real knowledge and impeccable taste. You feel guided, never steered. The setting is an integral part of the experience. Contemporary lighting chosen with discernment, a hushed atmosphere, and the natural intimacy of the space. It's perfect for a romantic dinner or a meal with friends. And for those who cherish intimate moments: the table tucked away in the cellar is a true gem, perfect for a private, almost intimate dinner. The prices—around €25 to €30 per dish—perfectly reflect the quality of the cuisine. An elegant, genuine address, best shared.

This little restaurant is a gem. A simple yet exquisitely executed menu, a wine cellar brimming with connoisseurs, and discreet service. At lunchtime, scallops with truffles as a starter, sweetbreads and veal fillet with truffles as a main course. Paired with a fine 2020 white wine from Pas de l'Escalette. A delightful find just steps from Aix's town hall.
