Chez Jeannot

Please don't let poor reviews from who knows where deter you from this lovely spot in the amazing Vallon des Auffes. The setting is simply charming and stunning at once. The staff is all quite welcoming - I ate alone, had no reservation, so they put me at a table inside. But this was fine, as the room was lively and fun. A few different people served me - one to explain the menu, one took a drink order, one my main dish, another told me to just pay directly at the cashier. My fish soup was about as perfect a version as I could hope for at a reasonable, not cheap price. I would return many times if I could. The panisse looked great, and were popular, and the pizza seems excellent. Lots of groups of friends, casual meals, drinks on the gorgeous terrace, etc. Yes, it is French. It is quick and slightly chaotic. All the better!

Very dissapointed as the restaurant was recommended by our bnb. I ordered rib eye steak well done and said no blood no pink well done. Steak came out medium pink/red. I could not cut the steak with a steak knife, meat was very tough and grissly. worst peice of meat I have had. It was returned. My sons kids meal steak was also medium pink. It was not a steak, it was a hamburger pattie. He retuned it. I requested a kids pattie instead of steak. New patties came out pink. Patties tasted like supermarket patties not restaurant made. The patties were pink not well done. I don't understand how a chef can't cook a pattie well done. Even mcdonalds patty is better and I don't eat mcdonalds. We could not eat our patties they were terrible. Salad came out with no dressing. I asked for vinegar and was told they don't have any! What restaurant does not have vinegar. I was given oil. I was charged for a rib eye steak not kids patty which is what I got. I brought it to their attention and then was charged for kids meat. After getting both meats wrong they should not have charged us at all. We also ordered Italian pizza which was not cut up and the worst tasting pizza. Terrible food won't go back and do not recommend.

The view from the terrace is very nice otherwise I cannot recommend it. The pizza looks good on the pictures but is loaded with emmentaler cheese. The prices are high and the starter which was supposed to be calamari was unidentifiable. Only for drinks it is nice but try not eat there.

Marseille Pizza is a thing. Have it in the Vallon des Auffes at Chez Jeannot. It’s fantastic.

Friendly enough service but the food was deplorable. Had ordered the entrecôte and pizza and couldn’t finish either. The location was cute though.

Beautiful scenery but disappointing food and worse service. The bridge and harbour makes for a beautiful sunset dinner. In the summer, come later than 8pm or you will cook in the descending sun. We had the beef stew, which - despite the nice and tender meat - was without flavour. Pasta was over-cooked. We came early and the two of our three starters were sold out. Panisses de Marseille were good and is a recommended snack. Our waiter was ignorant and without any sense of service. She got our order wrong and seemed generally more interested is flirting with the other waiters.

Having booked the restaurant for a party of ten on the upper terrace for friends visiting from the UK, I decided to visit earlier in the day to ensure that our reservation was confirmed. I was assured that all was well and that they were expecting us. Lunch diners were enjoying fruits de mer and we were all very much looking forward to dinner as the menu included a good selection of fish. However, upon arrival, we were offered a table inside despite the weather being glorious. As the restaurant was very quiet, we managed to convince them to prepare a table outside, albeit on the lower terrace. When the waiter arrived and provided us with menus, we were informed that there was absolutely no fish available - immensely disappointing given the menu! As we already had a drink and had travelled some distance from the centre of Marseille as well as being very hungry, we ordered some pizza and left as soon as we could. There was no apology or explanation when we paid the bill. A hugely disappointing experience!

A local told us about this restaurant and it was our favourite lunch of our holiday! The location is incredible, looking out over the boats and sea. We had 2 pizzas which were delicious, the wine was very well priced and the staff were so attentive and friendly! They let us stay for nearly 2 hours and didn’t rush us to leave. Would highly recommend!

Stumbled upon this when looking for an inexpensive yet classy, quality meal. I have the traditional white fish stew - bouillabaisse. It was like a warm hug. The staff was kind and sent me off with a nice sip of lemoncello.

I come to marseille every September and I thought I would give this restaurant a try for the reputation to menu and the lack of attendance and acknowledgment and liquor, poor and Wine poor it was cheap and rude uncivilized

When arrive a Friday evening at 9h30 pm to have a dinner family. The waiters took 15min to drive us to the table. A chair was missing... The waiter, after I had to ask him, brought a chair without apologizing or looking at me. They took a long time to register our order. At a moment, a fork fell from the plate a one of the waiters and I grabbed it from the floor for him and he took it and didn't say a word, not even a look . The waiters are all in a bad mood. They were just there to touch they income and were not looking to obtain tips. However, the food is very good and the pizzas are excellent ! Fine for an italien restaurant ! The spot is exceptional, it is situated in a little port Marseille and the restaurants offers a panoramic view of it. The evening, it is so beautiful !

We arrived today and needed somewhere close to eat where we can walk to. They do have an English menu for you but the place is pretty good. They serve you bread alone with a glass container of water. We did not drink any wine but everyone around us had wine and seem pretty happy. The menu seemed limited in my opinion. The server was attentive and checked on us. Food came out pretty quick as well.

I wouldn't go here again. Pretty spot but the pizza was nothing special. The first dish (something with focaccia ?) I ordered was inedible and so I ordered a second entree - the melon and prosciutto which was delicious. I've never done that before.

The setting is romantic. The food is good and the service is so-so. But if you are in the neighbourhood, you should visit this.

Nice restaurant in Le Vallon des Auffes, a place to be visited in Marseille. Good pizza and seafood.

Village tranquillity in the heart of Marseilles Visit this place for the view, the atmosphere and the quality of the cuisine, all of which are exceptional. The service is a little unattentive, but you won't care! This little harbour is absolutely charming, and exceptionally quiet. you will love the beautiful seafood platters - very high quality food here. Pizzas and simple dishes also available. We had a wonderful lunch here, and sat alongside families, couples and travellers. After lunch, you might want to explore the coast a little, or walk along the corniche kennedy, perhaps descending to visit the malmousque with its little harbour and rocky inlets.
