Brasserie type restaurant, a friendly institution at the bottom of the Cours Mirabeau with a terrace near a fountain.
On one of Aix's liveliest little squares, at the foot of the Cours Mirabeau, around its beautiful fountain, Chez Jo is an institution, an ancestral address, acclaimed by the people of Aix for a long time and without interruption. The atmosphere is guaranteed at Chez Jo, where Alexandre's father, the current owner, is surrounded by a formidable team. It's convivial, gourmet and generous. An excellent address in its original state: bistro furniture, old-fashioned decor with a wall displaying photos of artists and celebrities who have sat here, including Gérard Depardieu in his youth. Lunchtime is a rush, but so is dinner. The house has the good taste to stay open late into the evening. On the menu are the classics: tartares, lasagne, grilled meats, pizzas... The dish of the day that day, grilled skewer with pepper sauce, was a pure delight, tender and tasty. The fries were homemade. The organic wine from Domaine de Revelette, Jo's Chicoulon made for the house, is organic, affordable and very honorable. The service is smiling and efficient despite the crowds. It's all fun and games! Please note that reservations are required. And if you have to wait, the house usually offers a glass of champagne. If you don't have a reservation, take a chance - it would be a shame to miss out on such a great place!
