After coming here for six years on business trips and living near Aix-en-Provence since 2017, we of course have gotten to know some nice restaurants somewhat further away. So here the places we really like within one hour driving from Aix-en-Provence or Marseille.
L’Atelier Gastronomique
Short walk from the port a small gastronomic heaven
Author: Nicolaas, October 26, 2019
Cassis is one of the nicest places to go in the Provence. A small port near Marseille and way more attractive than Saint Tropez. As all the French here know. So we often drive there from Aix. The other day we had lunch in L’ Atelier Gastronomique. A short walk away from the busy terraces looking out over the port (also nice bit more standard cuisine) in a side street.

This is absolutely worth the detour you go here for a great and special sandwich or tasty ‘dejeuner’. We had a truffle croque madame, salade chevre and a croustillant with jambon and salad. All very nicely prepared by a nice and very service-oriented couple; Clemens , his wife and their friend. We agreed with Clemens that he would speak English with us and we would answer him back in French so we both could learn from the conversation. Need I say more?
