    We wanted to find a spot that would serve a Fruit de la Mer platter, but for some reason a lot of…read moreplaces were closed on Monday evening, so I found this spot on Google Maps and decided to venture out beyond the Old Port area. 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"!

    A must for seafood lovers. We came in for lunch just as they opened and already there were two…read morepeople sitting at tables. 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.

    Fresh seafood, quick service, and reasonable prices? It's hard not to appreciate this spot…read more The good: -Tasty seafood - simple, tasty preparations and quite an offering of raw delights -Great price point - probably the most reasonably priced fresh seafood I found on my trip -Efficient - order at the front, carry your drinks/prepared items to a table of your choosing, and the other items will be brought to you by a server when ready -Convenient location walking distance from the water The could-be-better: -My razor clams were too sandy :( Overall: recommended! My only regret is not getting the sea urchin.

    Don't be worried about the line, it moves very fast!…read more You will need to self serve bread, sides, sauces, desserts and beverages on a tray as you wait to get to the cashier. Digital menus with the day's offerings are available in both French and English. You need to order all of your food (no additions w/o getting back in line) We ordered a combo of their imperial prawns, langoustine, oysters, and sea urchin, along with a bucket of steamed mussels and fries. We were given a buzzer after ordering and food was delivered to the table after we found a seat. Everything we ordered was delicious, super fresh, and well priced considering the tourist-y area. The langoustines and prawns were especially good! I would eat here over getting bouillabaisse any day They provide a handy lemon scented wipe, but there are also clean bathrooms down stairs.

    Friendly service…read more The food we had no authenticity. Escargot were not seasoned well and did not taste good. The Bo Bouillabaisse uillabaisse was terrible and did not resemble a Bouillabaisse. Taste? Bad? Yes they served the bread, garlic and sauce on the side. The only thing good was the whole garlic. Again a real disappointment. Cheap cheap cutlery. Drink selection and serve were terrible. A tourist trap.

    My friends and I were on the hunt for bouillabaisse in the area and since this place got some…read morepretty good ratings we decided to give them a shot. We got there around 7:30 or so and it already had a good amount of people. The host asked if we had reservations and we said no but they were able to find a table for us. Since it was a small place we were in very close proximity with a couple next to us, but it turned out to be rather fortuitous because they were very friendly and gave us a good wine recommendation. We started things off with their delicious assorted fried seafood appetizer, which had the most tender calamari ever! We got two different kinds of bouillabaisse between the three of us and we thought they were both amazing. They bring out a tray of the seafood that goes into the various bowls and ladle in the broth afterwards. It's an interesting way of presenting and serving that definitely built up anticipation! Accompanied by fresh crusty bread that you smear with fresh garlic and top with grated cheese, it was a very satisfying meal. Our servers were very friendly and helpful and we appreciated their patience with a bunch of American noobs. STEPH JUDGEMENT: An intimate, unpretentious restaurant with great food and service.
