La Bota

One of my best restaurant experiences on my entire trip to France!
I sat outside on a beautiful, sunny day.
I ordered the vegetarian salad, which was one of the best salads I’ve ever had in my entire life. Just gorgeous greens, tomatoes, shaved carrots, and perfect, plump sundried tomatoes, in a thick balsamic dressing. Simple but just right!
The fries stole the show though, they were DEFINITELY the best fries I have EVER had!!! Patatas bravas… thick-​cut fries heavily seasoned with herbs-​de-​Provence… IN Provence!!! SO, SO, SO delicious!!!
Not to mention, my order came with a generous basket of yummy French bread, which came in handy to sop up the balsamic dressing.
The food was so good and the waiter was so friendly that once I was done, I couldn’t resist ordering an espresso to finish off my meal. I’m glad I did! The waiter brought me out some French nougat that he INSISTED I try (yes, I’m vegan… but I will try a nibble of vegetarian things from time to time), and he poured me a shot of honey rum that he said was great for sipping. I sipped my shot of rum… and he poured me another one! (The waiter was doing this for the customers around me, too).
The guy waiting on me was so, so, so nice… even without the free rum and nougat. The service here was above and beyond, I recommend this place whole-​heartedly even without the free goodies.
It’s a small place, there’s not much room to sit inside, and not much space outside either. There’s also not much on the menu, especially for vegetarians, but it’s great to have a few items that you have perfected, and that’s what you’ll find here. Also, it was very inexpensive!!! I was happily surprised!
If you are in Aix-​en-​Provence, you MUST come here!!!
