Aix en Provence, Jeongja, South Korea


Genre:         French – Italian

Location:     Jeongjadong, South Korea

Rating:         9 out of 10

Aix en Provence is one of my favorite restaurants in Korea.  It ranks in my top 10 favorites of all time.  It gets this distinction not only for the food it serves, but for the ambiance the restaurant accomplishes.  At the most recent visit, the restaurant was warmed on a cold winter evening with wonderful service, a violinist strumming lovely tunes, and what I deem as great comfort food.  As far as the food goes, there is quite a variety on the menu.  However, I generally go for the large set that includes wine, appetizer and salad, soup of the day, fresh baked bread, the chef’s pasta special, main course of either lamb chops, steak, or beef tenderloin, followed by dessert with coffee or tea.  Even though this set is created as a menu tasting for one, it is easy split between two with more than enough food for both.  The food is beautifully presented, tastefully created and overflowing with flavor.  It is generally what you would expect from the best of the best and incredibly satisfying. 

If you order off the menu, be sure to include the Tiramisu.  It is the real deal.
