Marseille, France is a city that doesnât always have a good reputation – in fact many people know it as the most dangerous city in France (maybe in Europe) – but Iâm going to show you a different side, from the amazing beauty to the incredible local food. This was one of the most delicious days I had in France.
Thank you to my friend Sophie Brissaud (https://www.instagram.com/sophie_brissaud/ Food and Wine Journalist, Author) for taking us around and for sharing her incredible knowledge of French gastronomy and history with us.
Weâre starting this morning at Vieux-Port, the center of Marseille on the port. Every morning locals come to sell the fresh catch of the day straight from the Mediterranean. Unfortunately today was very windy, so there wasnât as big of a catch as usual.
La Caravelle (https://maps.app.goo.gl/3d61g85iPscbNVJH9) – We then headed over to have a coffee with Ezekiel Zerah at one of the most historical cafes in Marseille.
Sur le Pouce (https://maps.app.goo.gl/j9i3YJcCJe72YcP7A) – Marseille has a large North African community, and youâll find some of the best North African food outside of North Africa here, so I was very excited to try Tunisian couscous. Total price – âŹ23 for everything
You also canât miss the incredible sights and views of Marseille. From CathĂ©drale La Major to Notre-Dame de la Garde!
Chez Etienne (https://maps.app.goo.gl/gFnV5QpSuWDECcXX6) – Did you know Marseille is the pizza capital of France? And weâre going to one of the best pizza restaurants in Marseille to see how they serve pizza different from anywhere else in the world. Total price – âŹ68 for 2 people
Restaurant Michel (https://maps.app.goo.gl/vzDh4AorrunmgAHi9) – If thereâs one French food you have to eat in Marseille, itâs Bouillabaisse, a fishermanâs soup originating in and around Marseille, and at Restaurant Michel theyâve perfected their recipe for three generations. Iâm not saying this lightly, it was a life-changing meal, and even Sophie said itâs by far the best bouillabaisse sheâs ever had in France. Total price – âŹ204 for 2 people
Marseille may be a little rough around the edges, but I found the people to be friendly and helpful with lots of characters, and the food to be some of the best in France.
