Aix-en-Provence — Plan de Campagne
Meat restaurant
near Aix-en-Provence
Minutes from Aix-en-Provence, in the Plan de Campagne district, L'Entrecôte de Dubaï brings together aged beef, French know-how and oriental flavours. A steakhouse for Aix's lovers of fine meat, open late, a stone's throw from the cinema.
Getting here
Ten minutes
from Aix-en-Provence
From central Aix, take the A51 then the Plan de Campagne exit: the restaurant sits on Chemin de Collet Rouge, opposite the cinema. A warm, elegant setting at the crossroads of the French bistro and oriental refinement, where meat takes the leading role. People come from Aix as a couple, with friends or family for a generous dinner in a relaxed atmosphere.
The retail district offers easy, free parking — real comfort when driving in from Aix-en-Provence with no space to hunt for. Service runs until 1 a.m., and the dining room is also open for lunch at the weekend, so you can enjoy the table without watching the clock.
The meat
The taste of beef, first
Our menu revolves around cuts chosen and worked with care — the essence of a true steakhouse, minutes from Aix.
Ageing
Beef aged for several weeks to develop deep aromas and a tender texture. This work of time is what sets a great cut apart from a plain steak.
Black Angus & Wagyu
Black Angus rib-eye, sirloin and fillet, knife-cut tartare, wagyu carpaccio: beef breeds prized for their marbling and tenderness.
Seared to order
Every cut is seared to order — golden crust, juicy core — then rested before it reaches your table. You choose the doneness, from blue to well done.
The table
The journey
on the plate
The spirit of the house is a bridge between the French bistro tradition and the flavours of the Levant. Alongside the great cuts of beef, the menu makes room for signature-sauce prawns, the Dubaï cheeseburger and oriental treats such as strawberry künefe.
Mild spices lift the fat of the meat without ever masking it: a hint of cumin, a blend of peppers, a house sauce. Generous cooking that embraces the pleasure of sharing — an address that breaks from the classic tables of Aix-en-Provence.
On the menu
The rib-eye, ten minutes from Aix
Coming from Aix-en-Provence for a rib-eye means coming for a cut of Black Angus, aged then seared to order. Four landmarks to build your meal, each presented in detail on its own page.
Black Angus rib-eye
The signature cut of the house: fine marbling that melts as it cooks, a crust formed in a fierce pan, then a rest before it is served. The doneness is chosen together, from blue to well done.
DiscoverAged beef
Ageing over several weeks softens the fibre and concentrates the aromas: deep, almost hazelnut notes that freshness alone cannot give.
DiscoverTartare as a starter
Before the main cut, a knife-cut Angus beef tartare, among the menu's starters, alongside the wagyu carpaccio and the smoked burrata.
DiscoverThe sides
Aligot, spinach, potatoes or vegetables: pick your side to go with the rib-eye, and pass it round the middle of the table.

Evenings, Aix side
Open late,
until 1 a.m.
As the district empties, the dining room comes alive. L'Entrecôte de Dubaï remains one of the late-opening tables at the gates of Aix-en-Provence: continuous evening service until 1 a.m., a chic and friendly atmosphere, and all the time you need to finish dessert before the drive back to Aix.
Sharing
A menu
made for sharing
Here, the table is shared: everyone picks their own cut of Black Angus, then the house sides go round — aligot, spinach, potatoes or vegetables — along with the signature-sauce prawns and, to finish, the cookie for two. To drink, alcohol-free cocktails and fresh juices see the whole meal through.
