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.

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.

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!

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.
