The only downsides were the rather kitsch decor and the unexpected prices: one or two euro more than I have paid for the same dish elsewhere.

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.

The flavor was great and the fish was cooked perfectly! I asked for a zalabia for dessert (it is my favorite), which made the older gentleman helping me very happy, but much to our dismay they were out! I tried a rolled baklava and mint tea instead which were very good. Then when I was paying the older gentleman brought me a fresh zalabia that he had the kitchen make! It was so sweet! It felt like I was at a family member's house. The restaurant was packed and it seemed the staff knew almost everyone who came through the door. Just FYI, very little English is spoken at the restaurant (and my French is pretty bad), the one younger waiter explained everything to me, which was very nice of him. I was dining by myself and the older gentleman sat with me even though we had a language barrier. I highly recommend this restaurant! Merci beaucoup!

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!

I had swordfish carpaccio with wasabi "ice cream" of which I still dream. The wine list while brief, was excellent, and our server directed me to the perfect pairing.

I came for an early lunch in a sunny for me Saturday and walked in soon after noon - and was the first lunch customer. The waiter / owner spoke just enough English and I just enough French for me to choose a smoked duck cake for my starter. I had that with a glass of white wine. Both to die for. I ordered a casserole with Strasbourg sausage and mushrooms for my main course and asked the waiter to recommend an appropriate glass of wine. He brought a glass from the same winery - again sensational. The owner told me he loves running a small place where he can make people happy because he can ensure every meal is excellent. It works for me!

It was certainly difficult not to feel welcome here with the enthusiasm and the witty treatment we got. The menu changes constantly and there is therefore only options you'll see on the board, if you can decipher it. With a limited knowledge of French and not the best ability to decipher swirly French handwriting on a blackboard, I was happy that we got the short version explained in English. We had starters and cannelloni for our main course and a glass of white wine. The portion of cannelloni was rather big (by our lunch standards), so we had to give up at some point, but it was not for the lack of trying our best. The food was good, but could have done well with a bit more oomph in the taste, though I was very satisfied with my wine.

This brasserie is highly rated across several apps, and I am not sure why. The service was…read moreexceptionally slow even by French standards and there were no explanations as to what the ingredients were for the sides on the menu. NOTE 1: My mother was born in Marseille and speaks French. She handled the conversation during this visit. Let me explain. When we arrived, there were only a handful of two top seated and the sun was beaming down, so one of the attendants winched the rooftop canopy to block the sun. We finally received a basket of bread, then some water, and then the menus. All the while, very large groups of diners were being seated. It became apparent quickly that the team at Madie surmised that we were not worthy of any of the basic services and all additional attention was provided to the large groups. I ordered the artichoke plate. My mother and my wife each ordered the Octopus salad. My artichoke plate arrived and it looked delicious except that it had a chuck of meat in it and meat broth. There was no information on the menu that stated that a vegetable plate had any meat in it. If it did, I would not have ordered it. The octopus salad according to my two diners was okay but they both remarked it needed a squish of lemon and a little more seasoning. All in all, it was a very poor experience, we will not return, and I cannot recommend Madie to any of my fellow travelers.
