My wife The assorted seafood appetizer as her main dish and was not disappointed. The assorted seafood appetizer was better than any seafood platter we have ever had and we been to many restaurants. The dish comprised of escargot, shrimp octopus sardines. The crusted Seabass was cooked perfectly and was enjoy by us both. It came with sautéed vegetables and a Jasmine rice which was cooked perfectly. They are out of the white wine which we had selected but the Red wine we ordered which was like a Pinot Noir was perfect The waitress spoke very little English but we were able to communicate perfectly and had no difficulties. This little seafood restaurant was a perfect ending to a wonderful day and Avenue

Not my cup of tea, but I guess for an outdoor market, it is not the worst. Aix has become so…read moreoverrun by tourists (Americans and Chinese) as to make it seem too much like an up-and-coming Barcelona rather than the charming former capital of Provence. Mostly stalls along the Cours Mirabeau hawking clothing in the afternoon, food in the morning, depending on the day. There are smaller outdoor markets in Aix that aren't so blatantly commercial and tourististic. I mostly avoided the Cours Mirabeau when I could, including the smaller side streets just north. When the Foot Locker and North Face have stores, you can believe readily that the crass Americanization of French culture has been and is well underway. Rue d'Italie, I much prefer, with its neighborhood feel.

Aix-en-Provence is a foodie's haven, with entire streets devoted to small trattorias,…read moredelicatessens, cafés and bars. It's no surprise then, that the Aix-en-Provence markets are a gourmet experience. They're a place to indulge all five senses, and a joy to wander, working up an appetite between breakfast and lunch or as a place to socialize. Besides produce, cheese and bread, the Provence markets are also awash with linens, clothing, antiques, and fragrant rows of Marseille soap. And don't forget to stock up on fresh flowers at the daily market, where you can browse peonies and potted plants in the shadow of the stately town hall. Every day is market day in Aix-en-Provence - You can pick and choose the one you want to stroll around, you will love them....

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.

after hearing so much about the fish market at marseille's old port, i was expecting something far…read moremore grandiose, along the lines of tokyo's tsukiji, perhaps. but when i scanned the quai des belges from my hotel balcony at around 7:30 this morning (the market opens at 8), i came to the conclusion that the fish market must be closed because i saw no signs of life there. lo, individual fishmongers gradually appeared and set up shop from 8 onwards, and by 9 or so there were a good dozen or so of them offering up some very fresh (some still alive and flopping around) denizens of the mediterannean sea. a tv crew filming something about a grisly old timer hawking mollusks added to the atmosphere, and i couldn't help but think that if i actually lived in marseille, this would be where i came to get my fresh fish. still, i couldn't help but get the impression that the heyday of this well-known fish market had long since passed.

Terrible experience at entrance with a very rude and dismissive manager who I doubt is the owner!…read more If the owner actually knew his manager refuses to accept 4 decent and polite adult customers, visiting this place when the restaurant was three quarters empty, falsely claiming that they are full, he or she would not be happy at all. If the guy is the owner, that is even worse. He needs to learn basic manners in customer service. In addition, whether he was angry for some other reason or short staffed because of his poor management skills, his extremely rude way of talking to customers was appalling. I would never recommend a place like this to any customer specially in a city that depends on tourism so heavily and where he has plenty of formidable competitors in serving people amicably. If I could give no star to this place I would wholeheartedly.

It had a nice offering of a variety of seafood. The standout were the snails. They were very meaty and had a very good earth flavor. The desserts were also good, not standout good but solid. Husband has the creme brûlée. The amount provided was more than substantial and I had their tiramisu. It was ok. Why then just the two stars if the desserts and the starter course were good? At the very least it should have received 3 stars. Well, dear Yelpers the 1 star rating is due to the main entrees that both hubby and I ordered. There is just one word to described them- ROADKILL. The rack of lamb was so tough that I had to ask my husband to help me cut it up. Even then I had to hold the plate in place in the event that it would fly across the room and decapitate the other diners. When so finally had a chance to bite into the piece of meat, it was tough and sinewy. It also had a lot of not the good melt in your mouth fat, but gristle. Hubby decided to be adventurous and decided on their meat tartare. Usually, hubby loves his meat to be still mooing. Well, not this time. This time it was just off. Moments later he felt his tummy turn and not in a good way. As soon as we got back to the hotel, I gave him some antibiotic. It's better to be safe than to be sorry. Service also was just so-so. Our waiter came by to take our order and after delivering our meals, he was not to be seen by our table again except when it was time for the check. Next time when we venture out, we will be sure to read the Yelp reviews first. It would have save us from a gastronomic catastrophe.

I approached one stall by the edge of the square and was met with blank stares by one of the vendors. Meanwhile he greeted a very blond Caucasian woman with a "bonjour madame" and immediately handed her a basket to gather her purchases. Needless to say, I'm neither blonde nor Caucasian. The icing on an already rotten cake came when, despite the fact that I gingerly picked through some tomatoes for sale, the same vendor who hadn't bothered to utter one word to me finally spoke by shouting "STOP!" as if I were a five year old poking the produce and shooed me away. Unbelievable.
