Le Bidule filled up very quickly at lunchtime
According to the dictionary, a bidule is a what’s-it or a thingummy or a whatjacallit, which is an odd name for a Provencal brasserie. It’s situated right down at the bottom of the place des Cardeurs and we tried it for lunch last week.
And a reasonable lunch we had. The salad was an average salad, la belle-fille Aixcentric was happy with her burger and (home-made) frites, and le petit-fils Aixcentric enjoyed his child’s special of steak haché and frites. The menu was basically salads and burgers with some specials, plus the usual desserts. It doesn’t really distinguish itself from other places – no USP in marketing terms – and maybe that’s why it’s called itself after a what’s-it?
We thought its plus was a very young, happy atmosphere. The place was full by 12.30 and we liked the bright waxed cloths on the tables (all the better to spill

your water on if you are a three-year-old) and the bunting and strings of lights. It must look pretty at night. I would say ideal for a young family or teenagers.
Le Bidule, 1 place des Cardeurs. Open 7/7, 9:00-02:00hrs.
