Eating Off Duty with Gérald Passédat
"A true child of the “big blue,” Gérald Passédat grew up on a wave-washed promontory perched poetically above the Mediterranean, site of the family restaurant, Le Petit Nice. Located just a few minutes up the coastal road from the colorful fishing port of Marseille, this dreamy white villa was purchased in 1917 by Passédat’s grandfather, Germain. Transformed into a restaurant, it quickly won a following among stars, painters, poets and gastronomes for the excellent cuisine, the beautiful site and the charm of Germain’s wife, Lucie, a famous opera singer. Ninety-one years later, in 2008, Gérald, the third generation Passédat at the stoves of Le Petit Nice, won the ultimate three-star rating from the MICHELIN Guide." - Stephanie Curtis
