We looked long and hard for something "quick" to takeaway while we were visiting the Vieux Port…read more Unfortunately, in that area, there was only this Quick hamburger place and McDonalds, or sit down cafes/restaurants. No decent French-style boulangerie or takeaway lunch places. So we went in on a Saturday afternoon.. it was packed, took a long time to reach the counter, and the menu looked like McDonalds wih only the names changed. Food was ok, but still very American and not French-like. Prices were exorbitant; 8+ Euros for a burger, fries, and drink! Reviewed by The London Insider http://www.london-insider.co.uk

3.5 stars! A little cafe located in a hidden alley, Le Grain…read morede Sable is an oasis featuring organic, local, homemade vegetarian dishes with an ever-changing menu based on seasonal produce. Though expensive, it makes for.a great light lunch option, and both the restaurant space and servers are warm and inviting. On our visit, we tried all five dishes from the main menu. The cold soup of carrots with ginger/cumin and coconut milk was thick and refreshing, and the coddled egg with butternut cream was hearty and went well with the basket of bread. We also had the piping hot zucchini gratin with egg/garlic/sage; a simple herbal farro salad with tomatoes, green beans, and cucumber; and a bruschetta with a "tchoutchouka" topping of cooked onions, peppers, and tomatoes! Every dish here was freshly prepared and reflected local, seasonal produce, though I thought the seasoning could have been more refined. This is definitely one of the healthiest, earth-friendliest restaurants around that you'll find!

We went here strictly based on the yelp reviews and, I must say, I was delighted. This place has…read morebeen under new ownership since July but the new owners have decided to continue the concept of a vegetarian restaurant. This place is located in a lane way and not something you can find as you walk along. It's a gorgeous cafe with basic interiors and a glass wall to the kitchen so you can see the chef in action. There are about 20-25 seats in the inside on two levels and some seats outside. The staff here really made it for me. Extremely friendly, helpful and whilst their English was not great were willing to try and help us. The chef spoke ok English and explained the menu to us. Service here gets top marks for friendliness :-)) They have a daily menu and you can pick 2 or 3 choices of courses. We picked two and it comes altogether in a plate. I had a lovely zucchini cold soup and a fabulous quinoa dish. The flavours were good and I loved it. For dessert they recommended a local speciality which is a fromage blanc (fresh cheese) with a fruit compote and I loved it. Slightly unusual start but a fantastic finish with the intense fruit compote. Being a vegetarian in France is always hard as the choices are very limited. This is an exception and it tastes great. I would happily come back here for a meal and enjoy the delicious vegetarian feed. A great find in Marseille :-))

The…read morefood was delicious, the service impeccable and the ambiance (particularly if you get one of the outside tables!) is great. It's slight pricier than your average restaurant, but well-worth the extra expense. Just be careful with the "spiciness" levels: you can either get food at the normal spicy level, or go up three notches. I went up just one, and it was VERY spicy (and I know my spicy, I come from Texas...). Overall it was a fantastic experience, and I will surely come back again!

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.

It's pretty low-key, the patio was nice but had a view of a busy street (with a beach on the other side). Yelp says three Euros for price, but I think two would have been more accurate. The house specialty is mussels, and that's what most people were ordering, but I ordered the fish with gratin and ratatouille and just loved it, wife really enjoyed her pasta and salad but maybe not quite as much.
