Gaodina, French restaurant in Aix-en-Provence, France.
Description
Gaodina is a French restaurant housed in a restored 18th-century Provençal farmhouse offering multiple dining areas including a glass-roofed space, garden seating, and poolside tables. Each section has its own character and lets diners choose between sheltered indoor settings or open-air spaces.
History
The building dates to the 1700s as a farmhouse in the Provençal countryside, a landscape that attracted artists seeking creative inspiration. The area's natural beauty made it a destination for painters including Paul Cézanne.
Culture
Chef Naim Chhiba draws from regional Provençal traditions while applying modern cooking methods to create something that feels both rooted and contemporary. Diners experience how local foodways continue to evolve and adapt to new ideas.
Practical
The restaurant has multiple dining zones, so it's worth asking upon arrival which areas are available for your preference. Outdoor seating depends on weather conditions, so guests should check conditions before choosing a specific spot.
