Mietta's Review
A favourite place to have lunch (not during suits lunch hour though), it's cute,cosy and warm. Tea comes in tiny delicate china cups and saucers with teaspoons that have a little picture at the end, the foccacias are fabulous, the crepes are fantastic. The place is always busy and the service is personal and speedy.

Other published opinions

The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Mingle with arty types at teensy Aix, a cosy, lamp-lit creperie secreted away in one of Melbourne's oh-so-Parisian laneways"

The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Your own dining room probably seats more people than Aix does. With just five little tables, it's possibly Melbourne's cutest cafe. Here you can order thick-cut fruit toast, hearty potatoand-leek soup, and crunchy baguettes, perhaps filled with tomatoey meatballs and Swiss cheese."

The Age Cheap Eats 2006 If you wanted to give this creperie a big French embrace, you probably could - Aix is tiny. Still, it draws droves of local wage slaves and city visitors alike. ... There's more breathing room ... glinting

The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "WATCH your elbows, please - at this cave-in-the-wall joint in bustling centre Place, space is at a premium."

The Age Cheap Eats 2004 "IN eatery-saturated Centre Place, tiny Aix holds its beret high. Its teaspoon collection stirs the conversation, jars of organic leaf tea (served in china cups) line the wall, and fullbodied coffee kick-starts any heart."

At last a place the Age likes - it serves desserts - "Then there was the fine selection of fillings to tackle-orange blossom honey,mango and rosewater yoghurt,blood plum and burnt sugar"
