This is definitely a must stop when visiting Marseille. The SAs are very friendly and constantly offering whole samples of cookies, chocolates, and candies. Delicious! I think I gained a pound just trying everything! Prices are a bit high but not unreasonable. The packaging is equally colorful, whimsical, and oh so French. Plus if you prefer, they wrap each item as a gift. Score! I really enjoyed their variety of nougat, cookies, and marzipan candies. It was tough deciding which flavors to get since they were all so yummy! Apparently the store is doing well and is expanding in the U.S. They currently have a store in NYC, and have plans for SF.

Disgusting and unsanitary! DO NOT GO HERE!…read more On August 28th, I went to Simonelli for ice cream. When I arrived, the brunette, curly/wavy haired server was helping others. A young girl ordered coconut and the server gave her Cookies N Nut. The young girl tried the incorrect ice cream and realized it was not coconut. When she asked for the coconut flavor, the server took the cookies N nut iced cream off of her cone and put it back in the tub after the young girl had already licked it! Disgusting! This is completely unsanitary. After, an older man was trying some samples when I realized that between various samples, the server was wiping his spoon with a napkin and sticking it into other flavors for him to try. I can count 3 different ice creams that were contaminated with saliva at this establishment in the 5 minutes I was there waiting. I am so appalled. The health department should be contacted and the curly/wavy haired served should not be working in food distribution. The owner should address this and rectify this situation.

Thanks to Yelp, I was able to find a local sandwich shop about two blocks away. I quickly trotted over to the street and climbed the 60 or so steps to reach the street where it was located. This little yet charming restaurant had a line of about 10 customers deep. I got in line and was anxiously waiting to see what my options were inside. Once inside the team of three was bustling about to make sure all the customers were being helped. What stood out to me right away was the Focaccia. It was impressive to see and looked amazingly delicious. It was like a siren, calling to me even though I do not usually eat cheese. The pastrami sandwich also looked good as well. I would have not partaken in consuming it but considering how horrible our experience was with the brasserie on the Vieux Port, I decided on getting that sandwich as a backup for my two accompanying diners. I asked for my order to go and paid. I carried my load of sandwiches like a soccer player who won the World Cup, proud and triumphant. The service was incredible, the flavors were all present, and the prices were affordable. I highly recommend this sandwich shop and skip all brasseries on the Vieux Port.

Expensive (30 euros a kilo! 3 eur/100gr, which you'll chose yourself and then have weight at the…read morecounter) but real good. I can now say french people can make real good icecream, with plenty of flavours we normally won't find elsewhere (as to say geranium, green tea, violet, pamplemousse, mint with leaves! no fluogreen stuff!, safran, romarin....). Bio, no gluten and lactose parfums are there. Sweet almond had the best recipe and taste ever found in France or Italy, so have a try NOTHING to do with yucky Amorino or Grom. A star less just because of the very expensive price (on average in Italy would be 16 to 20eur/kilo), but I do appreciate the job, the conditions (use your scoop once then put it to wash, as to avoid mixing tastes for all intolerants around, well that is not very eco responsible), the choice, the topping if you'd like, the recycling style of the place and terrace, the location (behind metro Notre Dame des Monts, in Cours Julien, the creators hippie alternative chabby chic area in Marseille). Oh yea, bowls are gigantic, so you can take plenty and spend lots (good marketing strategy though)... you'll enjoy it, but you do not seriously need 250gr of icecream! :D
