It’s a while since we have visited La Table des Saisons so were happy on  a recent visit to find the same standards of quality that this young couple have insisted on from week one back in December 2013.

The chef is Lionel who has 20 years’ experience as a patissier, both in France and abroad, and he makes all the plats and desserts in-house.  His partner Martina welcomes their customers and is happy to explain how the dishes are made – in English and Slovak as well as French.

We had a delightful lunch, unhurried, calm atmosphere and unobtrusive service, ideal for a catch-up with friends.

The menu of course changes with the seasons – have a look at their website -https://latabledessaisons.com/ – they have special dishes of the week, alongside a variety of savoury tartes and salads.  Desserts are Lionel’s speciality and I had an unforgettable ‘Delice poire, pain d’épices’ (pictured).

Open:  Daily, except Wednesday, for lunch and as a salon de thé during the afternoon.

They also open for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

Address: 6 rue Lieutaud, Aix. 04 42 22 97 07.

Traiteur service: one can order savoury and sweet tarts, salads and a range of aperitifs to wow your guests at home, with 48 hours’ notice.

Prices: very reasonable.  During the week, various formules are available at lunchtime.  Here is the board……
