This store on Canebiere was a highlight of our recent trip to Marseilles.

We found the best rose petal candy we've ever had--so good we had to go back for more to bring home with us. The nuts and spice mixes are divine, and we wish we had bought more of those. This store has variety, incredible quality, and friendly and helpful staff. Our limited French was not a problem at all, as staff weighed and priced items for us. With all the cultural riches and culinary delights that Marseilles has to offer, this store is a universe unto itself that must be visited and explored to be appreciated. Thank you, Saladin, for being such an outstanding representative of Mediterranean cuisine and especially Arabic culture!

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.

Don't be worried about the line, it moves very fast!…read more You will need to self serve bread, sides, sauces, desserts and beverages on a tray as you wait to get to the cashier. 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.

I recently discovered this place and I am very happy I decided to go there for a "date night".

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!
