In short
Mediterranean, Asia and South America on one menu, near Aix-en-Provence
A restaurant blending Mediterranean, Asian and South American cooking near Aix-en-Provence has a name at Pakal: travel cuisine. In Bouc-Bel-Air, about ten minutes from central Aix via the A51, a single menu lets these three horizons converse — the light of the South, the spices of the Far East and the heat of the Latin grill — never folkloric, always in service of good produce.
On the plate it reads clearly: from the Mediterranean, fish soup with rouille, plancha-seared tuna steak with sauce vierge, pieds et paquets from Sisteron and scallop risotto; from Asia, Asian-style salmon tartare with ginger and kaffir lime, chicken pad thaï and bobùn; from Latin America, real tacos, tortillas filled with pulled confit pork belly. All in a premium brasserie of 115 seats, with a 90-seat shaded terrace and a private 42-space car park, PMR spots included. Open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and Wednesday to Saturday for dinner; booking by phone on +33 4 42 53 24 77.
