I saw La Nautique and hoped that they would have an opening for a wandering traveler. I ordered whatever was fresh, caught here in the waters of Marseille - I have never tasted a better whole fish than here. Grilled whole with zucchini and peppers making a delicious ratatouille. Two glasses of rosé, and a beautiful view as the sun set over the port. I never caught the waitresses name, but she was so accommodating and friendly, and made me feel at home while I was alone.

I came here solely on the strength of a couple of Yelp reviews. These are not always reliable - but…read morein this case appear to be spot on! I came for an early lunch in a sunny for me Saturday and walked in soon after noon - and was the first lunch customer. The waiter / owner spoke just enough English and I just enough French for me to choose a smoked duck cake for my starter. I had that with a glass of white wine. Both to die for. I ordered a casserole with Strasbourg sausage and mushrooms for my main course and asked the waiter to recommend an appropriate glass of wine. He brought a glass from the same winery - again sensational. The owner told me he loves running a small place where he can make people happy because he can ensure every meal is excellent. It works for me!

Le Petit Flore serves a good lunch with passion and warmth. Here there is a completely…read moredown-to-earth atmosphere and a no-nonsense attitude to the food, wine and service. It was certainly difficult not to feel welcome here with the enthusiasm and the witty treatment we got. The menu changes constantly and there is therefore only options you'll see on the board, if you can decipher it. With a limited knowledge of French and not the best ability to decipher swirly French handwriting on a blackboard, I was happy that we got the short version explained in English. We had starters and cannelloni for our main course and a glass of white wine. The portion of cannelloni was rather big (by our lunch standards), so we had to give up at some point, but it was not for the lack of trying our best. The food was good, but could have done well with a bit more oomph in the taste, though I was very satisfied with my wine.

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

The namesake tables were simple but elegant, with bright decorative lights and mirrors. The place was perfect for lunch. The squid appetizer did not look like much but was extremely tender and tasty.

I rolled into town (literally - on a bike) without plans or reservations, and the proprietor of La…read moreTable de Bruno was gracious enough to accommodate me for dinner, despite being fully booked. (Presumably one of the reservations was for later in the evening.) I was on a mission to find magret de canard, and only Bruno offered it on the limited, perfectly seasonal menu, which is clearly designed around the best available ingredients each day. The canard dish here came au xérés (sherry). Little did I know that it was to be accompanied with some perfectly cooked carrots, a bit of potato, and delicately sliced and layered squash and tomato concealing a perfectly soft, melt-in-your-mouth bed of aubergine. I believe that garlic was involved too. In any case, I'm not sure if it was intended to be an interpretation of ratatouille or a unique creation, but I don't care as it caused me to squeal with gastronomic pleasure. I haven't even mentioned the canard yet, which was the perfect temperature (pink enough with plenty of flavor but neither saignant nor overdone), and served in small, delectable pieces. The presentation was beautiful and I was happy and satisfied after this dish, which I accompanied with a glass of house red (at the server's suggestion) and preceded with the soup of pesto and mackerel. I'm so glad they squoze me into the evening's operation. The meal was worth every cent (and was reasonable, all things considered). Should I ever have cause to dine in this adorable little hamlet in future, I'll be sure to reserve a table in advance as I'd return in a heartbeat!

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.
