Run by fiery duo maître d' Patrice
Lesné and chef Bruno Ungaro, Amphitryon enjoys a solid reputation among Aix's
bourgeoisie, particularly in summer, for its market-driven cooking and alfresco din-
ing in the cloister-garden. The attached
Comptoir de l'Amphi
(mains €12-17)
is a
less-expensive alternative.
