One of my favorite meals in France!

Looking for vegan options after the vegan restaurant in town that we wanted to try was fully booked, and this place was a gem! Sat outside and enjoyed one of the best meals on our trip to France! They had vegan and gluten free options that were clearly made with care! Wine was fantastic.

Mon restaurant préféré pour manger végane

Le meilleur restaurant d’Aix pour moi !
Il y a toujours 3 plats et 3 desserts qui changent chaque semaine. Il y a toujours au moins 2 tiers de plats véganes.
C’est toujours délicieux et travaillé pour des prix abordables pour Aix (environ 18€ le plat, 6,50€ le dessert).

Grande terrasse ombragée et très cosy à l’intérieur. Le personnel est toujours gentil et attentionné.

Le chef du restaurant est végane !

Bref c’est mon petit QG et je vous le conseille fortement 😊

Pros: Délicieux, Terrasse et intérieur cosy, Presque tout végane

Cons: Pas 100% végane

Great Spot - Fait Maison

The menu is always changing and the dishes are great. They have a beautiful terrace and interior is cute. The owner takes pride in her restaurant and is connected with the community. The portions are just right to you wanted just a bit more. It works for adding a dessert. Really awesome overall.

Pros: Taste, Effort, Location

Cons: Portions could be a bit bigger (not bad though), More vegan options would be nice

Very good

Lovely little vegetarian restaurant with mostly vegan options. The Dahl was nice but personally could have done with more spices. Great jasmine tea and super friendly staff.

Mignon

Petit café tout mignon, avec plusieurs choix par jour de plats puis de desserts. Un choix vegan plat et dessert. Pas besoin de réserver si on est moins de 6 personnes. Pas mal de monde à midi

No vegan option at breakfast, good coffee

This was, I believe, the only veggie/vegan place in Aix open on Monday morning, so I stopped by for breakfast. They have no vegan breakfast options! You have to order the avocado toast, remove the cheese, and then they replace it with a gross amount of olive oil. I also ordered a lattee with oatmilk. The server was kind, I was just surprised a vegetarian restaurant had no vegan option except for a MODIFIED avo-toast.

So anyways, as I said, the single slice of avocado toast was kind of gross with all that olive oil slathered over the cold bread, but it was not terrible and I was starving so I definitely ate it. My latte was pretty good, but there are a bunch of places with not bad plant-milk lattes in France, so it doesn’t merit an extra star.

Maybe I should have known that their breakfast was only veggie, and the vegan options come later in the day (they seem to be pretty good based on the place’s HappyCow rating). But either way, still disappointing and absolutely not worth my time! Nice outdoor seating though.

Pros: Outdoor plaza seating

Cons: No vegan breakfast

Excellent mais cher et frugal

Nous sommes venus en famille pour prendre le petit déjeuner. Que ce soit sucré ou salé, tout était excellent, mais nous sommes restés sur notre faim, les portions étaient petites. On est allés à la boulangerie à côté pour compléter notre repas... Terrasse très agréable sous un platane, serveur très sympathique.

Plant based in Provence

Enjoyed our meal at Cafe du Temps after a busy morning at market day. The staff greeted us on arrival, were welcoming and cleared a table for us while managing a full restaurant of patrons. The menu had three vegetarian lunch options with one vegan , though the waitress was communicative and able to easily modify another dish to make it vegan. The food was tasty and had a creative combination of flavors. The orange blossom smoothie and strawberry pistachio tea were both refreshing options that helped us cool down. The ambiance, decor and music positively added to our experience. If you are in Aix en Provence and plant based this is a great option!

Pros: Tasty food and great location , Nice vibe, decor and music! , Friendly and Knowledgeable staff

Quelle bonne découverte!

Super nourriture et serveurs dans un bel coin d’Aix. Parfait terrasse pour le déjeuner. Je la recommande yeux fermés. I assume things have changed since previous reviews but every menu item was vegan (plats et desserts). 😊

Small but nice

We stopped in here for a drink and a snack. They had a couple of vegan cake options. We tried both and they were nice. Service was quick and friendly.

Disappointing

👨🏽‍🍳 Servicio 8/10
The staff helped us to find a place outside.

🧆 Comida 3/10
Very limited vegan options, and very basic.
I asked a burger and had to suggest to use bread instead of the bun which is not vegan.
It is very disappointing in s vegetarian restaurant to have so little vegan options and not a single options to adapt the meal to vegans.
We don't feel welcome at all.

No vegan desert neither.

💒 Ambiente 7/10

They have a lovely terrasse and it is nice inside but very small.

💡Originalidad 3/10

Wasn't a fan of the seitán in the "burger". With all the recipes available now that can make a fantastic texture and flavours, it was quite tasteless and cheewie.

💸 Correct

Pros: Nice terrase

Cons: Restricted options, Not super vegan friendly, Basic food

limited vegan options

Since the menu is quite limited the veganisable choices are even slimmer. Good food quite pricy for 40€

Delicious! A vegan main & a couple vegan desserts, really good quality.

Well labelled menu, only a small place so the 1 vegan main was 1/3 of the menu. Vegan chocolate dessert was out this world.

Pros: Vegetarian , Well labelled vegan options. , Really good quality

Cons: A bit pricey for portion sizes , More vegan please!

Good vegan and vegetarian dishes

Usually they always have one vegan option or you can ask for making the vegetarian dishes vegan. They change the menu regularly what is really nice and the food is pretty fancy.

Pros: Always a vegan option available, Healthy, Fancy

Cons: Portions not too big

Great taste

The very friendly staff told us about the vegan dishes on the menu, or which one could be made vegan upon request. We ordered a smoothie, a homemade juice and kind of local spaghetti soupe. All of it tasted great. The flavours were extraordinary and we were very happy about the whole meal.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great taste

Cons: No english menu

Good surprise

I would have given them 1* if I had rated them when I sat down and realized they had removed all the vegan options.. but they did really well in the end. I believe the menu changes regularly, so just call or ask them directly.

We veganized the "toast of the day" (see pics).. which I think ended up being totally different than the original dish on the menu, and the waiter talked to the chef who ended up making a super tasty vegan salad for my mum (NOT just lettuce :)). I hate eating salads in restaurants, but I have to admit I never had something quite like that. It felt very authentic southern cuisine and did not disappoint.

No real vegan cakes available

I asked for vegan cake and got offered 3 different ones. I ordered. Later I got doubts and asked again if all are vegan. I got the answer that only the Chia pudding is vegan, which actually is not a cake. I then got it served with whiped cream which seems to be not vegan. I am not asking again as it seems like the staff does not understand or care about what I am saying. 😞

Great vegan lunch

There was only one vegan dish, but it was delicious. A lentil based mix with rice and samosas. And they had a vegan apple pie for desert. The menu says they close at 1430 for meals, we arrived at 1425 and were served. And the servers were super friendly. They may serve past 1430, that's just what the menu said.

Pros: Great vegan lunch dish, Vegan apple pie, Friendly servers

Cons: Only one vegan dish

One option, but delicious

It looks like they have a constantly changing menu. This time they had one vegan dish available, but it was a very delicious red lentil curry with white rice and samosas. It was a really pleasant place with kind and energetic waiters.

Pros: Food is delicious, Staff is really caring , Good prices

Cons: Not much of a choice for vegans
