I have a foodie bucket list, and on that list was eating bouillabaisse is Marseille. I can now mark…read morethat off my list after the wonderful experience of eating it at Abaco. My daughter and I were on a Mediterranean cruise and the thing we were most looking forward to was the stop in Marseille. We were up and ready early so we caught a taxi at the dock and rode into the main port. I had previously researched all the places to get bouillabaisse and kept coming back to Abaco as the desired destination. Abaco isn't in the main tourist area, it is more a neighborhood hang out spot, so we had a bit of walking in the city. We arrived at Abaco at 11:15 am. We knew it didn't open until 12 so we were prepared to settle down and wait. Shortly after we arrived, I saw a head poke up in the window and the door to the restaurant opened with the cutest owner, Ms. Jeannine, inviting us in. Walking into Abaco is like walking into your grandmother's house. And this grandmother wants everyone fed. Ms Jeannine didn't speak English and we didn't speak French. Her son spoke enough English that I was able to tell him I would like bouillabaisse and my daughter wanted salmon. I had no idea what salmon dish I ordered for her, but I knew she would like that. The salmon dish was house smoked salmon that looked amazing. It was a large plate so she was barely able to make a dent. My bouillabaisse was wonderful as well. The son explained how to eat and I nodded when he asked if I understood. I guess I was doing it wrong because Ms Jeannine came over and explained it to me speaking french and indicating with her hands. For anyone who stops by in the future, you are supposed to take a crostini and top it with a bit of the incredible aioli they serve on the side. You then drop it into the main bowl of soup. Then take some soup from the small bowls and pour it in top and then eat. It is a really wonderful soup. For desert we shared the chocolate mousse which was amazing. She served it with fresh cream. We were on a cruise and one of my favorite things to eat when I cruise are bagels and lox. Since my daughter had half her meal left, i asked to pack it up so I could eat it for a snack later. Alas, when we returned to the ship we were told we couldn't take carry out meals on the ship. In my state of panic of breaking a rule, I threw it away without even getting a bite. I will now live the remainder of my days upset that I didn't even get to try the salmon. One additional thing I noted is that when we were finishing up, a sole diner wearing a cruise card walked in to eat the bouillabaisse. I think this is the place that the foodies who do their research come to try real bouillabaisse.

This place isn't one of those touristy places where they serve you bad food. They take their food quality really seriously here. You can tell based off of what you get. The wait staff is pretty nice although service is really slow. I suppose it is not the American way where they push you out. Instead, they take your time so you can enjoy your food. For parents of little ones though, I would have appreciated some more expediency. The food was sooooo good. They serve typical Provincal food. We got their seafood platter. The freshly made garlic mayo complimented the food perfectly. I also got the shrimp and rice. This was yummy but not as good as the seafood platter. The next day we got grilled octopus with rice. The octopus was perfectly grilled. For high quality food, the price point isn't too bad. I think it is on the more affordable end.

Wife's note - It would be nice if there was also some "bread" with this meal. Decent size chicken, a quarter piece. The meat melted off the bone which my wife loved. I prefer my meat to be a little more hearty. The salad was very plain, think head lettuce and some slivers of carrot. Rice was good, but very minimal. Fries were good. And to wash it all down, a VERY small glass of white wine with two large ice cubes for 5.50 Euros... $6.50 USD for this?!? Basically a sip of wine... And I was actually not going to drink because I knew we were having a GREAT dinner at Une Table au Sud, see other 5 Star Yelp review! Plus LV always gives me champagne. But you know that because you are following. So in summary, that "glass" of wine affected my mood for this lunch. I just got mad at myself for ordering it. Ambiance - Local business and we do our best to support. In the tourist area. Indoor and outdoor seating; see pictures. Clean toilets; see pictures. Service - The male employee was more welcoming than the female one. Unfortunately for us, we got stuck with the female employee. Not sure if they are owners or family...? She just did not seem happy and did not want to be here... Price - 31.50 Euros, $37 USD; I felt overpriced for what we got. Well, we are in a tourist area, so we should expect tourist prices. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

Yet it's a victim of bad reputation, bad history. Marseille--as it turns out, exactly the kind of place I like." In Marseille we followed in the footsteps of the incomparable Anthony Bourdain. We hit up this bar/bistro we saw on his Marseille episodes of 'Parts Unknown' for a quick bite. The vibes in the place were all around very cool and so were the guys running the joint, who spoke pretty good English. It was laid back and had killer views of the old port. It has a huge open front allowing for a nice flow of air. It's has a darker feel to it. It had vintage touches and was kinda imstagrammable. It was hip without wanting to be. I definitely pictured Anthony sitting in the corner with some pastis or something. We just relaxed with some espresso, although some of their crafted cocktails were calling my name. It was easy too early (for me, not for anyone else in town). We did indulge in some sumac hummus, which was topped with perfectly roasted eggplant, an flavorful lemony tahini drizzle, and tart pomegranate seeds. It was a gorgeous color, super creamy and served with baguette, which is new to me. A fabulous dish. Some of the best hummus I've ever tasted in fact! It left me wanting to dive into other plates, but we were so full from snacking around the city and they wouldn't do anything to-go. (I asked.) Other menu items include traditional as well as a fusion of Mediterranean and Moroccan dishes. Smaller plates for sharing mostly. Definitely a place worth checking out. I'm really glad we did! Even just for a drink. I can imagine it gets pretty interesting at night. Hours are funny. We tried to head here the night of The World Cup and they were closed. Perhaps call first if you're going out of your way. Parking is available on their street. It may take a circle or two to find a spot.

Not here, though, with fine western and southern views over the old port, forts, and beyond, and a perfect sunset to keep everyone pleasantly relaxed. There's a good selection of beers, and the barkeep was friendly and even comped me a drink ... I think. I didn't try anything to eat; I don't believe they were even serving food at the time. Crowd is much more mellow than you'll find down below: families w/ kids, couples, friends, and everyone enjoying the view most couthly. Another great thing: almost atop a hill, it's a nice downhill stumble when it comes time to head back to your hotel ... or someone else's. NB: Forget trying to cut thru the neighboring Radisson Hotel - which is a nice hotel with a comfortable rooftop view bar of its own, BTW - because there's no direct connection to CdL'A. Not that the Radisson has blocked anything off to keep the trade to itself; the two buildings and the lots they sit on just don't "communicate," as hoteliers say. The stairs aren't that bad and when you get to the top, the view, the crowd, and the drinks make it all worth your while. You'll pass by La Passarelle, an excellent and acclaimed French country/seafood restaurant on your way up, and just might decide to dine in its delightful garden on the way down.
