If you are an English speaker- I would honestly recommend AVOIDING this restaurant!…read more Kind of shocked at how I was treated. I was planning on dropping $200+ on dinner and wine. It is not a sidewalk cafe... The manager is a walking and honestly outdated steroetype of the arrogant rude French waiter... He rolled his eyes at me and sighed with dramatic body language when I asked for the wine list. It was sitting on the table and I had not seen it. I softly laughed embarrased & said Merci. He Made a rude comment and twirled to walk away when I was attempting to ask a question. I asked someone else for assistance and they were quite nice... however, he was my waiter. One of the women came over to put something down and spoke the fastest French that I have heard... I started to ask her to slow down that I didn't speak much French when she placed the plate - almost threw it in front of me... swirled around and went to the service station... grabbed bread- came back over and slammed it down- still holding onto it in front of me... and barked "Pain!" Still looking directly at me... she said, "bread in French is Pain!" Her body language was angry and aggressive! The manager clearly perpetuated the culture in the restaurant and although I am a native English speaker, I speak AND understand quite a bit of French... definitely enough to know that the manager was mocking an English speaker on the phone as well regarding their attempt to communicate. They were not busy at all. It was early- they were standing around. They could have taken the time to allow me the time and space to order. I felt so incredibly uncomfortable. Other things happened. I really just wanted to leave. The manager was loud and made a scene... involving other people. It was incredibly unprofessional. Not world class or classy at all. They made me pay almost $30 for wine and water that I did not drink. Tacky! This is a touristy area. I have spent the last 6 weeks traveling around France & this was a first! It doesn't matter if the food is good if the atmosphere is toxic. I chatted with my hotel that recommended them... They acknowledged that it wasn't a first... but, the food is good. No thank you. I love France. Not this restaurant. All unnecessary.

Our cruise ship docked at Marseille and we wanted to try the famed bouillabaisse to get an idea of…read moreauthentic French food. The bouillabaisse here is pricy: 110 euros for two people. The price quotes is 55 euros per person, with a two person minimum. To be honest, it was incredibly disappointing and not at all delicious. I would not order it again by any means, but I'm glad I can say that I tried it. It tastes like a fish stew with hints of curry. We also ordered the seafood spaghetti where the noodles were cut into short strands. I'm not sure if this is a common occurrence here but I prefer my spaghetti to be longer. The taste was great, it was a tomato based pasta topped with two delicious prawns. We also ordered the grilled octopus salad with garlic olive oil which was tasty. Overall, this meal was too pricey for what we received in return, although the markup comes from its location on the port.

We were craving Mexican food but didn't think we would find. Well we did and it was a GREAT find…read more The owner is out and about with the guests. Very personable. They make their own homemade salsa and hot sauce. (Hot sauce is spicy - WARNING but very good) Love their passion fruit margarita. We got a pitcher for 3 adults and it was perfect. We ordered the trio tacos that were amazing especially the barbaccoa. The quesadillas were top notch with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant as it is off the main paths and only open in the evenings but such a hidden gem.

Glad we got to try this restaurant on our last night in Marseille!…read more For starters, we ordered the mussels, fried quid, and octopus salad (not pictured). If I had to choose, I would reorder the octopus salad and would not get the mussels. They flavored the mussels with a parsley sauce which I was not a fan of. The sea bream looks so simple and was so delicious. All it needed was a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon and...voila! Perfection. The fish is served with a platter of vegetables - ranging from green beans, snow peas, carrots, salad... We finished dinner with a lemon tart and chocolate fondue. The desserts were mediocre. I would skip the desserts here and go elsewhere.

My female companion and I spent four days in Marseille in February earlier this year. It was a…read moreWednesday afternoon when we first arrived, and after exploring the old port area we ended up standing in front of this restaurant trying to find the right place to eat on Yelp. After finding nothing that was open or looking too appealing we decided to try Douceur Piquante. We are very fortunate that we did. Nadjatie, the woman in charge here welcomed us and brought us a wonderful house made non-alcoholic beverage that was very fresh and flavourful. Now I intended to leave this review much sooner but have been traveling. So I think I recall ordering a meatball type dish, my companion ordered an Indian inspired soup and we would trade back and forth. The food here was amazing. We found it to be so wonderfully flavourful and a nice balance of the spices and herbs used. Very fresh tasting. It was only Nadjatie working, she took our orders and prepared our meals, so the atmosphere reminded us of a home cooked meal by our mothers. Our trip in Marseille would not be remembered as fondly as it is without this woman's food. I wanted to come here each day we were here but our exploration schedule allowed for only one more meal on Friday the 19th of February 2016. This meal was equally amazing. My female companion ordered a fish based meal and I, a meat one, like pork or beef. We both enjoyed my choice better this time. On both visits we finished with a dessert she serves here. It's a Comorian cake that is made with rice flour I believe, called good good or something like that. The restaurant was busier on the Friday visit but for both we arrived eagerly right around opening time. I can recommend this restaurant as one of my absolute favourites in France. Thank you
