The man was able to help me in English after seeing me try to order in French, lol. He had me wait outside at one of his cozy folding tables. The crepe was absolutely amazing- presentation AND taste!! I highly recommend on all accounts.

I have found the service kind, however, one specific time I was told to sit anywhere when I was there for brunch with a group of three. We sat down and had ordered when someone different came over and told us the table was reserved. We were then moved to a table clearly made for only two people. There was no signage on the table that it was reserved and the server didn't seem particularly happy we hadn't known this. Other than this time, the service has always been kind and I always enjoy the food.

Great coffee and food in Aix. As good as a good American coffee shop…read more Located in the center city, a very nice coffee shop inside with plenty of USB and power connections and free Wi-Fi. They ask you not to work there at certain hours (very fair) but it is set up for you to do so! Staff is all multi lingual in French and English, or at least enough to get by, and they even have an English language menu. Don't worry, the food is high quality French and the coffee is superb. You of course get the typical for France espresso, but you can also get French Press, drip, and other styles of coffee. Overall, just a pleasure to visit and enjoy

after hearing so much about the fish market at marseille's old port, i was expecting something far…read moremore grandiose, along the lines of tokyo's tsukiji, perhaps. but when i scanned the quai des belges from my hotel balcony at around 7:30 this morning (the market opens at 8), i came to the conclusion that the fish market must be closed because i saw no signs of life there. lo, individual fishmongers gradually appeared and set up shop from 8 onwards, and by 9 or so there were a good dozen or so of them offering up some very fresh (some still alive and flopping around) denizens of the mediterannean sea. a tv crew filming something about a grisly old timer hawking mollusks added to the atmosphere, and i couldn't help but think that if i actually lived in marseille, this would be where i came to get my fresh fish. still, i couldn't help but get the impression that the heyday of this well-known fish market had long since passed.

Fresh seafood, quick service, and reasonable prices? It's hard not to appreciate this spot…read more The good: -Tasty seafood - simple, tasty preparations and quite an offering of raw delights -Great price point - probably the most reasonably priced fresh seafood I found on my trip -Efficient - order at the front, carry your drinks/prepared items to a table of your choosing, and the other items will be brought to you by a server when ready -Convenient location walking distance from the water The could-be-better: -My razor clams were too sandy :( Overall: recommended! My only regret is not getting the sea urchin.

Digital menus with the day's offerings are available in both French and English. You need to order all of your food (no additions w/o getting back in line) We ordered a combo of their imperial prawns, langoustine, oysters, and sea urchin, along with a bucket of steamed mussels and fries. We were given a buzzer after ordering and food was delivered to the table after we found a seat. Everything we ordered was delicious, super fresh, and well priced considering the tourist-y area. The langoustines and prawns were especially good! I would eat here over getting bouillabaisse any day They provide a handy lemon scented wipe, but there are also clean bathrooms down stairs.

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.
