The brasserie Pakal
A world-cuisine brasserie in Bouc-Bel-Air: generous, convivial and premium, minutes from Aix-en-Provence.
In Bouc-Bel-Air, Pakal reimagines the brasserie: the frank, generous spirit of a big table meant for sharing, but a menu that travels far beyond Provence. Come for a polished lunch or a dinner that lingers, midday and evening, and never too serious about it.
The brasserie spirit
A brasserie that takes you travelling
A brasserie is the table for every moment: you come as a couple, with family or with colleagues, without fuss and without booking weeks ahead. Pakal keeps that generosity and warmth, and adds its signature — travel cuisine, taking your palate to flavours from elsewhere without ever leaving Bouc-Bel-Air.
Starters to share, carefully cooked fish and meats, comforting pasta and risotto: the menu stays clear and reassuring, yet every plate has its stopover. A contemporary brasserie, where the service stays simple and the plate, in turn, stays ambitious.

The setting
A large room, a real terrace
115 seats indoors beneath a timber frame, 90 seats on a shaded terrace: Pakal has the scale of a brasserie and the care of a fine house. Velvet, terrazzo and low lighting make a premium setting, as fitting for a quiet duo as for a large party from the Pays d'Aix.
Every moment
A brasserie for every occasion
A quick, polished lunch, a lingering dinner, a group meal: the Pakal brasserie adapts to the moment, without ever cutting corners on the plate.
Come for lunch or dinner
A brasserie that's easy to enjoy
Pakal opens for lunch Tuesday to Saturday and for dinner Wednesday to Saturday, at the gates of Aix-en-Provence. A stone's throw from Les Milles, Cabriès and Gardanne, with direct access from the A51, the brasserie is easy to reach at lunch as at dinner.
A rarity in the area: a private 42-space car park, PMR spots included — you park right at the door. Booking is by phone only: a direct conversation to prepare your visit at its best, especially for larger tables.
