A restaurant with friends
The table where you gather: world cuisine to share, a lively bar and evenings that run long, minutes from Aix-en-Provence.
At Pakal, an evening with friends isn't timed. You order wide, pass the plates around, linger over one last glass. A premium brasserie built for tables that take their time.
The house spirit
The art of gathering
Everything here brings guests closer: large tables, attentive yet unstuffy service, a travel menu that invites sharing. Come for a pre-dinner drink that slides into dinner, an evening that runs on without watching the clock.
Pakal's world cuisine lends itself to sharing: nibbleable starters, generous fish and meats, comforting pasta and risotto. Every dish is made to pass from hand to hand, at the pace of the conversation.

The atmosphere
A bar built for the evenings
A wooden counter, a glass-fronted wine cellar and velvet banquettes: Pakal's bar sets the tone for an evening with friends. Low lighting, clinking glasses, voices rising and evenings running long — never forced, always natural.
The setting
From the terrace to the great room
90 seats on the shaded terrace for sunlit drinks, 115 seats indoors for lively evenings: Pakal welcomes the small group of regulars and the large party alike, never at the expense of comfort.
And because a great evening starts the second you arrive, our private 42-space car park — PMR spots included — spares you the parking hunt, a real rarity in the area.
