I was hoping to find some fresh seafood while visiting Marseille. I was looking for something with…read morea view and thought maybe there might be a restaurant on the water among the boats. 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.

While our cruise ship was docked at Marseilles, France, we took a very special private excursion to…read moreAix en Provence and to Cassis. In Cassis, we had lunch at a water-side restaurant, Le Grand Bleu, located on the harbor-front in Cassis, recommended by our tour guide. It was a comfortable and welcoming restaurant, but also elegant with white tablecloths. We had an exceptional lunch, and our group of four received excellent service from the attentive staff. We had a local wine and ordered the catch of the day, which was Sea Bass. It was accompanied by fresh vegetables. The Sea Bass was ample and cooked to perfection with Provencal herbs. We also shared an order of fresh pasta. The freshness and flavor of the Sea Bass was superb! We enjoyed dining at this restaurant so much! This lovely meal was followed by an absolutely gorgeous boat ride through the Calanques National Park of Cassis, France.

The fish was seared perfectly yet tender and moist. The wine was cold and refreshing. The location is just on the water on an officially (hey this is France!) car-free street and most of the tables are outside. Service was fast, maybe not the friendliest, but professional and correct. There was a twinkle in the eye of the waitress at my crude french. We decided to have desert as well. They were very good, but way too big for me. Next time I'll order one to share.

The seafood was so incredibly fresh and delicious, it is the absolute best seafood we have ever eaten. And we are hard core "foodies". Our waiter was the most charming young man, he spoke excellent English and was very well educated in wines. We got a wonderful bottle of wine to go with our meal. We sat in the patio and had the most romantic evening, warm breeze, not crowded, good music playlist and just amazing food. We will remember L'Enclos de Saveurs Salines as one of our best dinners abroad. Merci c'était super.

Being American, I made us a 7:15pm reservation. When we arrived the restaurant was empty, with only two tables occupied... my wife started to get a bit nervous. But we then remembered that any reservation before 8 is a very American thing to do! Around 8pm the restaurant began filling up with locals; we were at the right spot! Being out of the Old Port area, we didn't pay tourist pricing and probably had the best lobster we've had in a long time. The service staff is very friendly and interacted with us in English. They were having fun and were very attentive to us in explaining the menu. If you're in Marseille, this spot is a "Can't Miss"!

This restaurant seems to specialize in raw and cold (crab and lobster) seafood, and it is excellent. We ordered oysters, uni, and clams and all were amazingly fresh, clean, and flavorful. There was no mignonette or any sauce and everything was served with butter and bread. The combination was surprisingly good. The oysters and clams were briny and bright, while the uni was pure umami and not oceany like Santa Barbara or Hokkaido varieties often are. They have an English menu, and the wait staff were attentive and spoke English as well. Worth a special detour if you're ever in Marseille. Update since being in Nice: We have yet to find a place in Nice that even compares. We were hopeful that Peixes, with its incredible number for 5 star reviews, would be comparable. While decent, they were not even in the same class.
