Aix: Les Deux Garçons
Les 2Gs (l,d; €€€)
This renowned Aix institution is located where else but the Cours Mirabeau with a decor, largely unchanged since it was established in 1792 and which could have come straight from an Italian filmset!
Les 2 Gs is a haven for the locals who love to sit and people-watch from the terrace shaded by ancient plane trees. It was here that Paul Cézanne and Émile Zola used to meet every afternoon and who wouldn't give a great deal to have been in the company of these giants of art and literature? More recent customers have included Churchill, Cocteau, Delon, Belmondo and Piaf so you never know who you might bump into here.
Les 2 Gs is also a Brasserie Restaurant offering a variety of seafood, bouillabaise and steaks as well as a good selection of entrées.
Please Note A serious fire took place at Les 2Gs in November 2020 and it is not expected to re-open until 2022 at the earliest.
