The food here was incredible. The bouillabaisse and the cuttlefish "casserole" were unbelievable. I was surprised by the portions. The orange blossom creme Brule was great too. I docked one point on service (not from overall) because we sat there for a solid 15 minutes before anyone came to our table for drink orders despite it being start of dinner service and there being only one other table and 5 to 6 servers hanging st the front chatting. Otherwise everything was amazing!

Really wanted to like it. Great customer service and the atmosphere and ambiance is wonderful but the food is nothing impressive. Bouillabaisse is one of my favorite dishes and this one was probably my least favorite … almost tasted old and reheated. Our daughters pasta was also very bland and my husband’s steak was over cooked. So definitely not what I’d expect at such an expensive spot. We also ordered a bottle of a 2018 wine and they brought us the wrong year and opened it before we could take a look at the bottle. My son’s veal was good though and so was the cuttlefish appetizer, although very small portion.

Went to try the classic Bouillabaisse on our last dinner in Marseille and after searching around on maps, this seemed like a pretty good choice. It was saltier than expected but there was a lot of seafood in the soup. Definitely interesting but we don’t have much to compare with so I can’t say if it’s good or not.
The restaurant’s interior was interesting too!

Friendly staff. Pricewise the food portion was good. But bouillabaisse and cuttlefish tasted too strong and we couldn’t finish. We ordered our steak as rare and medium, both were well done. Beef tatar was good!
