La Brocherie, Barbecue restaurant in Quartier Mazarin, Aix-en-Provence, France.
La Brocherie is a barbecue restaurant in Aix-en-Provence with a central wood-fired hearth where chefs grill fresh meats and fish using traditional techniques. The space includes both an indoor dining room and outdoor seating areas.
The building began as a coaching inn in the 17th century that served horsemen during the reign of Louis XIV. It now functions as a restaurant while retaining its original stone structure and historic character.
The restaurant keeps Provencal cooking traditions alive through regional ingredients and preparation methods that reflect local heritage. Diners can taste how these traditions shape what appears on their plates.
The restaurant operates Monday through Saturday for lunch and dinner service, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The central fireplace is the focal point where all grilling occurs, so diners seated nearby may experience the heat and smoke from cooking.
The restaurant sources ingredients directly from nearby farms and local markets, cooking them over flames in the original stone hearth. This close relationship with regional suppliers means the menu shifts with seasonal availability rather than remaining static.
