The 21 Best Restaurants In Marseille - Marseille - The Infatuation
"Les Beaux Mets is by far the most unique restaurant in Marseille—it’s in prison Les Baumettes, and staffed mostly by inmates. The goal is to train currently incarcerated people in hospitality jobs so that they can find work after release, and they rotate between front and back of house. But if it weren’t for the brief, airport-style security experience at the entrance, you’d never know you’re in a prison. Come for a lunch of dishes like couscous with sardine balls, roasted vegetables, and tfaya, or duck with glazed artichokes and cherries in a sunny dining room. A couple things to note: Reservations need to be made at least four business days in advance, you can only pay with card, and phones and cameras must be left in lockers." - sophie friedman
