Café Canailles, your restaurant in Venelles

In the heart of the village of Venelles (13770), Café Canailles is a bistronomic restaurant bringing together locals from the Pays d'Aix and food lovers from Aix-en-Provence. Here, bistronomy is enjoyed without fuss: modern French cuisine, crafted in the spirit of fine dining, yet served in a friendly, relaxed setting. Our bistronomic menu is short and changes with the seasons, prepared from fresh produce sourced from local Provence growers.

Choosing a restaurant in Venelles rather than an address in central Aix means favouring the calm of a Provençal village, a shaded terrace under the plane trees in fine weather, and free parking right outside the restaurant. You come for lunch or dinner without enduring the traffic or the paid parking of the city centre, while staying about ten minutes from Aix-en-Provence.

For which occasions?

Family meals, lunches with colleagues, romantic dinners or catch-ups with friends: Café Canailles adapts to every occasion. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Saturday (closed Sunday and Monday) and also offers a brunch on Saturday morning. For a birthday, a company meal or a celebration, private hire for up to 50 people lets you organise your event to measure.
