    I ordered lobster with langoustines, that was my biggest mistake! It smelled like it had died two years ago and they were now serving it to me…they could put me in hospital with this food from food poisoning. The service is below bad. Don't waste your money at this restaurant!!!! I returned the entire order in a matter of minutes, then it was returned to me in new plates of the same product. If I could I would leave minus stars. They should close restaurants for things like that!!!!!!!!! DON'T VISIT

    We ordered the seafood soup with lobster. The food tasted so bad I couldn’t eat most of the dish. I didn’t even date to try some of the fish on the plate. The soup tasted like sewage water. The staff was friendly and kind but the food was unfortunate. I had to spit out most of what I ate and the bad smell of the fish stuck on me for a while. Do not go here. I felt terrible having to pay for this honestly 🥲 what a waste

    As we were walking past on Sunday we saw that the restaurant was busy, it looked very popular, but then again on a rugby weekend with dozens of tourists and rugby supporters you'd expect any restaurant or bar to be busy or there must be something wrong. We were seated quite quickly and then it took around ten minutes for our menus to arrive. We ordered after a further ten to fifteen minutes. Two steaks, quite simple dishes you'd have thought. After 40 minutes we asked where our meals were; the reply was "soon". After an hour still nothing, after 70 minutes still nothing. Despite repeatedly asking, our meals did not appear. The staff just didn't care, they brushed us off. So whenever anyone sat near us we told them not to bother and politely informed them of our tale of woe. After the best part of 90 minutes we got up, paid for our drinks and left. Not even an apology. So we never got to taste the food, the drinks were average. The location is good, right on the quai side but the service was terrible and I'd say avoid it.

    One star is really too much... pass by, there are coming many more nice restaurants... We had a „bouillabaisse“ for 2 Persons for over 80 €. The soup was not tasty, the fish bad quality and half cold, another waiter brought us a second plate for the shelf. After finishing the bad meal the waiter asked me if it was good and i replied „not really“. She was offended and took the plate, but „forgot“ to clean the table and left us for 30 minutes with the dirty table, which i cleaned myself a bit. Desinterested staff while restaurant was almost empty. My friend ordered a pastisse and it usually comes with water. She brought it without water and he was told to take a new bottle of water we had to pay extra. Not even the charme of a tourist trap, really dissapointing. See the other reviews here as well...

    Bad service and the entrecôte can be compared to chewing gum. Only plus was ok fries and a free orchestra performance from the rats who lived next door under the drain.

    Do not go here. It is a total tourist trap. They advertise one price and charge another, the manager was rude and the food was appalling. Mussels were not cleaned properly. Chips cold and undercooked. Truly awful experience.

    The worst restaurant i have ever been. I ordered a bouillabaisse and didn’t eat anything of it at all. Smell was terrible and fish not fresh at all. When we told the cashier they simply didn’t care and charged us the full price. Never had such bad experience with food in France.

    Average at best. This place feels very 'tourist trap' but there wasn't much else open so we gave it a try. Quantity of food was impressive but lacking in quality and some seafood seemed defrosted. Suspect my wife got sick from the boullioubaise but can't confirm. Service was average. Avoid or stick to the basic dishes.

    Worst restaurant experience in my life - tasted half a spoon of fish soup which looked like dirt water with couple of mussels with broken shells floating around. They also dont accept card payments so it’s really a proper scam.

    Terrible food. Pasta and pizza is terrible. Service is terrible. Don’t waste your money They have taken the name down so that you can’t link the bad reviews to the restaurant.

    Awful pizza, very rude staff- asked for the bill and the girl just said "inside". The food was really expensive. Tried to take plates while we were still chewing. No vibes, very pushy, dirty tables. Wish I'd looked at the review's before we sat down and ordered!

    We ordered seafood paella, the lobster smelled like it died one week ago and has been left under the sun. When asked about it, the staff was rude, said they only serve seafood from the same day. What a big liar. My boyfriend’s hands smelled like bad p$$$y for the next few hours. Our mistake didn’t check review before we went in.

    Terrible establishment. Dirty tables, dirty chairs, forks/spoons/knives are placed directly on the table, disgusting food, garbage cans and staff stands next to some tables, payment is made exclusively inside the establishment. Помойка!

    Mussels weren't fully cleaned, server didn't bring out crab crackers until the end of the meal after being flagged down. The food was nothing special, and the fish did not taste fresh. Saw the server take a spoon off of a dirty table that was done eating and left, and give the spoon to another table with their dessert. Were not told it was cash only until the end of the meal and directed to use an ATM with high conversion rates. Too expensive for the quality of the food. Poor service and unclean. Really hope we don't get sick tonight.

    This is the worst experience so far in my entire life. Neither the food nor the service is up to the restaurant standard Do not waste your time and money here! They lied about the freshness of food and the seafood was like it's been in the fridge for days/months. Barely ate that food and they refused to refund the money back. Minus score if I can post. They have low scores for a reason. Book tables with good restaurants in advance so you can avoid these scams.

    Run away. Terrible food. Soupe de poisson was a disaster, tasteless. Escalope, the meat was not well cooked, again lacking taste. The only good thing was the drink. Water was good. Worse restaurant visited in a long time.

  • 3/5 Krystal L. 9 months ago on Google
    We ordered first and then looked at the rating for the place. Needless to say we were concerned. The Bouillabaisse was lacking in flavour and was dearly overpriced for what you got. The staff were nice and attentive and not at all rude as other reviews stated. It is cash only, but there is a cash machine in the store next door so wasn't terribly inconvenient. Overall, we would not eat there again, but maybe something else on the menu would make it worth it?

    Totally a scam...mussels were salty and we ordered house wine and they charge us 40e for the bottle... worse place I've been in Marseille

  • 1/5 Jolene L. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is RATICULIOUS, if you want to enjoy your meal with those little animals, this will be a good choice for you! Also the seafood here is not very fresh, if you tell the waiter they will probably answer you again WELCOME TO MARSEILLE :))

  • 3/5 The R. 7 months ago on Google
    CASH ONLY & will not tell you till you pay!- Good food, good service. Went for the bouaillaise (seafood soup) it was good...lobster, fish, crab, shrimp CASH ONLY with an ATM next door @ 13+% exchange rate plus fees. Has to be same owner!

    We nearly got caught eating in this restaurant last night but luckily for us ,waiter wouldn't allow us to sit at a table inside unbelievable!! But we did get caught out further down with other rubbish meal You have been warned 😀

  • 2/5 Julia W. 1 year ago on Google
    The place seemed great on a first glance but then it was a series of disappointments. It wasn't communicated that the place only acceps cash not cards until we finished our meal. This has caused a massive inconvenience to us as tourists and we lost a few pounds on fees at the local ATM. Moreover, when I asked for a receipt, it wasn't reflecting the amount we paid. I don't know whether it was just laziness or for tax purposes but very unprofessional and although it was pointed out to the staff member, they didn't even make an attempt to rectify. We left the restaurant very unhappy about the service and will not recommend it to anyone.

  • 4/5 Dominika C. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was nice but too expensive and they told there is no dish but gave as alternative the same fish but it was higher prize. I think it was overprized place and I wouldn't go back.

  • 3/5 Alexa A. 11 months ago on Google
    We ended up here because we didn’t really have any other option. The food was okay. Some of it lacked taste. We ordered the pizza with ham and mozzarella and the basil pasta. Both of them reminded us of American pasta and pizza, which isn’t bad but for the prices we expected better. Regarding the service, it was great! The staff were very friendly and helped us with the french because we didn’t speak any of it. But I just wish the food was better.

  • 4/5 Michał M. 1 year ago on Google
    So tasty food, pizza and see food coming from top shelf... but in winter were 0 degree on outside they don't have tables inside

  • 1/5 Thomas M. 1 year ago on Google
    OVERPRICED TERRIBLE FOOD - EAT HERE AT OWN RISK A large group of us decided to eat pizza and pasta here. The pasta was overcooked and the accompanying sauces were bland. The pork in the carbonara seemed very cheap, was lightly cooked, and had that nasty squelch to it. The pizza was very dry. It was so sparsely decorated that you mainly tasted the bread, and barely anything else. There was no humidity or elasticity to the cheese at all, it was a very thin sprinkle of cooked out cheese. Most of the pizzas ordered came with a thick layer of rocket salad on them, and we think it shows a degree of self awareness from the cooking staff as to how pitiful their pizzas looked. The prices they charge do not justify the quality of the food provided.

    Dinner with mussels ala diabola & fish and chips. Overall good not very good. Price reasonable.

  • 4/5 Brian F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a really nice restaurant with some of the finest fish dishes you would ever hope to eat. Great service with friendly staff. The only drawback is the music which is overly intrusive. You don't need it you have a great restaurant.

  • 1/5 ben p. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    This was the worst eating experience of my life!! Waited nearly 2 hours for food. Wait staff were not helpful at all. We had to threaten to walk out to finally get our food. We tried to eat and all the plates bar one were finished. On my way back to the cruise ship to eat cruise ship pizza instead. Terrible should close down. Still charging full price too even with all the issues. Do Not Eat HERE!!!!

    Delivered wrong fish dish which looked grey and inedible to be replaced be correct dish of salmon that was also grey and you could smell it was off before placing on the table. This was sent back to be replaced with practically inedible piece of terrible looking beef. Would have left but it was 9pm and we wanted to watch the rugby on the TV in the restaurant. ( noticed most others only drinking to get a seat to watch the rugby also) Went to pay and was billed for first fish dish! Absolutely one to avoid.

    Lovely place. Service can be slow but don’t let that put you off. Fish is top class and servers very friendly
