Interesting little spot. I stopped in as a solo without a reservation, don't do that. I ended up sitting at the 'bar' which was WAAAY to tall for someone to sit at and eat comfortably, however I'm so glad they made space for me instead of turning people away. I will say the place was packed with locals the whole night and I watched lots of people unfortunately get turned away, so I guess it's a popular spot.
The Wine: Well it's France and it's cheaper than water and perfect, every glass.
The Food: I started with a tomato and burrata starter, which was wonderful, one of the best flavored tomatoes I've ever had.
It was recommended to me to try the woodfired/cooked lamb as a main, I will say that was good but not the best protein I've ever had.
The staff were attentive and polite as well, which made the overall experience very good.
DEFINITELY get the Burrata, you won't be sorry!
Enjoy.
My husband and I had dinner here on a weeknight while visiting Marseille. We sat outside since it was a beautiful evening. Also, the restaurant next door also had a patio and had a singer and guitarist out there so we were able to have some entertainment during our meal as well. Service was very friendly but since he didn't speak English and my French is elementary, there was a lot of pointing and repeating things until one of us finally understood the other. He was good about it though and laughed when I told him I don't speak French well in French.
Just a heads up, the menu is entirely in French but if, like me, you have at least some grasp on the language and know basic food terms, you can probably figure out at least the main ingredients in each dish. If not, there's always Google translate.
We enjoyed a bottle of wine with our meal, and received complimentary olives as a snack before our meal. As for the menu (which I posted a picture of) it's a lot of salads and grilled meats. My husband ordered the duck breast which was served with frites and a salad. The duck was nicely prepared to medium and had a tasty seasoning on it too.The meat was very tender, and the portion was also generous. I ordered the goat cheese salad (salade chevre) which had tomatoes, grilled onions, goat cheese atop small baguettes, fries, and cucumbers. The dressing was a sweet balsamic and was delicious. The salad portion was generous and ingredients were fresh.
The location is several blocks back from the Old Port so it's mostly locals I believe that visit here given that we were the only ones speaking English at any of the tables near us. I'd absolutely return here for another meal in the future!
Fantastic food, the owner is very nice and extremely friendly. Very good service. I lived that it didn't rain on us when we sat outside
