Licandro Le Bistro

A husband-and-wife bistro in Aix's Old Town, featured in the Michelin Guide since 2022, offering excellent dishes even on Sunday and Monday evenings.

Licandro Le Bistro is a cozy, family-run spot in the heart of Aix-en-Provence. Madrid-born chef Felipe Licandro helms the kitchen, while his wife Julie manages the front of house. The menu blends French classics with Provençal flavors, featuring a blackboard menu at lunch based on market-fresh ingredients and an expanded selection at dinner. Frequently praised dishes include chickpea fries (panisses), duck leg confit, cod casserole in lobster sauce, and lamb tatin. Lunch menus start at around €28, with an overall average cost of €30 to €50 per person. The space is small, so reservations are highly recommended. Located less than a 15-minute walk from the Musée Granet, it is open on Sunday and Monday evenings, which is a rare find in Aix.
