I saw La Nautique and hoped that they would have an opening for a wandering traveler. I ordered whatever was fresh, caught here in the waters of Marseille - I have never tasted a better whole fish than here. Grilled whole with zucchini and peppers making a delicious ratatouille. Two glasses of rosé, and a beautiful view as the sun set over the port. I never caught the waitresses name, but she was so accommodating and friendly, and made me feel at home while I was alone.

They had a daily special set menu of two courses but we opted to order individual dishes. We had the salmon tartare, grilled bream, octopus in a pot, grilled prawns and the provincial board. Everything was cooked perfectly. The grilled bream was especially good - fresh, well seasoned and to the perfect degree of doneness. We drank a bottle of local rose - nothing extraordinary but tasty and fit the meal perfectly. Service is typical French, which is friendly but not hovering - they come if you need something and call them. Price was very reasonable, about 20 euros per person with drinks. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a place to enjoy some good food on a lazy afternoon.

Even though it was 30°C, the breeze and shade from the tall trees made it a perfect spot to enjoy some French fare and people watching. The fresh Burrata Caprese (with pesto sauce!) and Squash Blossom appetizers were very tasty. Probably the the best versions of each I've ever had. I was so full by the time I finished them that I had a bit of trouble making my way through my Lamb Shank entrée. It was lamb roasted with shallots, root vegetables, and a wine sauce, but the meat was a bit over-cooked, salty, and dry. I probably should have chosen a lighter dish. The wine I had was very good though, and it's a beautiful place to dine outdoors!

We sat inside and the servers and everyone were extremely friendly. They explained the menu and were always on the same page with bringing us what we needed. We got the mussels, whole fish, and calamari. Everything was delicious. The mussels came out piping hot and it was a huge portion. They also came out and de-boned the fish for us which was very considerate. It was very cool that they are connected to the souvenir shop next door and so we bought some stuff there and interacted with the owner, who is also very friendly. Dessert was also delicious and we overall had a great experience at a restaurant that had surprisingly good food in a touristy part of town. The outside covered patio was full of people so they were constantly running around attending to them but appreciated how they always made time to ensure we were taken care of and never had to wait.

Oh... my... god... a must if you're in marseille!…read moreSuch a tiny little restaurant, you might not even be able to tell if they're open for business but, there's usually a little boat with a candle lit outside if they're open (pending the wind is calm). They have four tables total, two for two people and two for groups of ~5. The menu is pretty limited. Their specialty is fish and chips but, it is NOT like the American fish and chips. The fish are fresh. The chips are not potatoes. Everything was delicious. My friend ordered the fish soup/stew and fell in love. The waiter is super nice and friendly, he brought out all the different types of fish that they were serving that night. At the end of the meal he serves a shot of captain morgan with lemon covered in cocoa powder and sugar... which is SO good and on the house! Again, the restaurant is super tiny and the bathroom is right next to the kitchen. So that part was interesting. The food is so good and super affordable, the waiter was so nice and warm and speaks English well. Definitely recommend.

From the owner: Quand la Bretagne rencontre le sud A la carte de Chez Nous vous trouvez aussi bien des galettes et…read moredes crêpes que des spécialités languedociennes et provençales. Côté Bretagne, les galettes sont à base de sarrazin et sont garnies d'ingrédients variés comme par exemple le foie gras et les crêpes sont au froment. Côté Sud, quelques spécialités sétoises sont proposées comme la daube et le poulpe. D'ailleurs la daube se fait aussi à la provençale. Pour représenter Marseille et sa région, les pieds paquets et la souris d'agneau ne sont pas oubliés. Chez Nous se veut convivial et moderne et vous accueille dans un décor chocolat et anis. Si vous passez devant quand le resto est fermé, vous verrez sur le rideau une fresque graffée représentant des bigoudenes.

The Perfect Pizza Nightcap…read more We wanted a pizza to close out the evening, so we walked right across the street from the burger spot to Bobolivo Pizza... and thank goodness we did. The smell alone sold us fresh dough, bubbling cheese, and real ingredients; we were instantly excited to get it back to our rental. There is something about that crust... thin, light, crispy edges with just the right chew... absolutely delicious! The ingredients tasted fresh and balanced, olive oil was present, no heaviness, just a quality pizza that didn't miss. Sometimes, simple is the flex... and Bobolivo proves that. If you're in Marseille and craving a solid pizza to end your day on a high note... this is the spot.

My husband and I had dinner here on a weeknight while visiting Marseille. We sat outside since it…read morewas a beautiful evening. Also, the restaurant next door also had a patio and had a singer and guitarist out there so we were able to have some entertainment during our meal as well. Service was very friendly but since he didn't speak English and my French is elementary, there was a lot of pointing and repeating things until one of us finally understood the other. He was good about it though and laughed when I told him I don't speak French well in French. Just a heads up, the menu is entirely in French but if, like me, you have at least some grasp on the language and know basic food terms, you can probably figure out at least the main ingredients in each dish. If not, there's always Google translate. We enjoyed a bottle of wine with our meal, and received complimentary olives as a snack before our meal. As for the menu (which I posted a picture of) it's a lot of salads and grilled meats. My husband ordered the duck breast which was served with frites and a salad. The duck was nicely prepared to medium and had a tasty seasoning on it too.The meat was very tender, and the portion was also generous. I ordered the goat cheese salad (salade chevre) which had tomatoes, grilled onions, goat cheese atop small baguettes, fries, and cucumbers. The dressing was a sweet balsamic and was delicious. The salad portion was generous and ingredients were fresh. The location is several blocks back from the Old Port so it's mostly locals I believe that visit here given that we were the only ones speaking English at any of the tables near us. I'd absolutely return here for another meal in the future!
