La Table des Balmes

This restaurant stands out in the crowed.The meals, the service and the atmosphere is amazing BUT is is very French meant in a positive way!The staff only speak French and if your not that strong in French do yourselves a favor and buy a French phrasebook and learn the most common dishes and phrases and you will have a great French dining experience.The local citizens use this restaurant and dress up for the occasion and so should you.The food is amazing topped with a world class espresso at the end enjoying the view of the small town square and the fountain.

We went after the market was closed on a weekday and the town was very quiet. We were staying in Aix and this was the beginning of our trip to wine country (I know, in France, the country IS wine) where we also visited Gigondas, Chateau Neuf du Pape and others.A fabulous salade perigord and equally great chicken brochettes with superior pommes frites. Please visit the toilets even if you do not need to. Their decor, and that of the inside seating area, is remarkable.

What a shame that this otherwise nice restaurant has such an arrogant, dismissive male waiter. The food is very nice, but his utter lack of interest in us was apparent. Why go here when you can get friendly unpretentious people just on the other side of the town fountain at Lou Castellet! (I should note that the lady waitress was pleasant).

Food was very good although perhaps some of the pairing flavours took away from the primary component of some of the dishes. Staff was friendly and made good recommendations and the service was good overall.

A great restaurant in a small town! Ample free parking in the town. There are also several nice post-meal walks to be had from near the restaurant.
