Where to find a terrace in the Pays d'Aix
In Bouc-Bel-Air, at the gates of Aix-en-Provence, Pakal opens a shaded 90-seat terrace around world cuisine to share, with private parking right at the door.
Lunch in the sun without the heat, an aperitif that lingers in the cool of the evening, a large table in the shade of a pergola: that's what you're really after when you look for a terrace in the Pays d'Aix. In Bouc-Bel-Air, Pakal brings all three together, without heading into the centre of Aix.
The Pakal terrace
90 seats sheltered from the Provençal sun
The Pakal terrace isn't a row of tables on the pavement: it's a true open-air space, set beneath a pergola and greenery, designed to stay pleasant even at the height of summer. You lunch in the shade, dine in the cool and take the time the season invites you to take.
With 90 covers outdoors, it welcomes the one-to-one as readily as the large gathering. Travel cuisine keeps all its generosity here — starters to share, fish and meats, pasta and risotto — so the table outside is every bit as good as the one indoors.

At the gates of Aix
The terrace you reach without a detour
Aix-en-Provence, Les Milles, Cabriès, Gardanne, Simiane: the area has its terraces, yet few combine shade, space and easy parking. Pakal is an effortless run from the A51 and you park right at the door — enough to turn the urge for a terrace into a real break, without an hour on the road or hunting for a space.
By mood
Every moment has its terrace
Lunch in the sun, dinner in the cool or a large table with friends: outdoors as much as indoors, Pakal sets the frame to your mood without ever cutting corners on the plate.
Coming to the terrace
A terrace that's easy to enjoy
The Pakal terrace is open for lunch Tuesday to Saturday (12–2pm) and dinner Wednesday to Saturday (7–10:15pm), at 817 Avenue de Violési in Bouc-Bel-Air. A stone's throw from Les Milles, Cabriès, Gardanne and Aix-en-Provence, with direct access from the A51.
A rarity in the area: a private 42-space car park, PMR spots included — you park right at the door, no laps of the neighbourhood before the aperitif. Booking is by phone only: a direct conversation to arrange a terrace table, the number of covers and the time that suits you.
