La Passarelle

5 stars all round. Service was fantastic. Atmosphere was a vibe. Food was out of this world. Flavour combinations were great , really unusual dishes…all very fresh and tasty ! Special shout out to the rice pudding. It was SO good

Fantastic quality of food, wonderful service by one of our servers who very kindly read the menu in English for us (which we don’t ever expect, but always appreciate), and a warm countryside atmosphere with an Italian-French fusion. My dish will serve as a core memory from the trip. I’ve never had anything like it. The quality of all our dishes (we were a party of food) were exceptional and I would absolutely come back to Marseille just for this restaurant. Thank you, Passarelle!

The staff took great care to accommodate my food intolerances and advised me about what I could eat on today's menu. The food was delicious and it was lovely to sit in the pretty garden with the added bonus of intermittent mist sprays from above to keep us cool on a very hot day. Merci!

we had an amazing dinner! All dishes were sensational. Friendly staff and service, place is so easy going and great atmosphere with 5 star food and service. reservation is absolutely recommended as this place is very popular:)

Despite all the high reviews, we unfortunately did not enjoy our dinner here. We decided to start off and split 2 dishes but found that both were quite bland. The octopus dish had a strange flavor which I would not want to eat again and the sauce for the chickpea fritters had almost a jello like consistensy. Their drinks are quite good though and the ambiance is nice, but overall not my favorite.

Great food, subtle ingredients and thus quite different than what more touristique restaurants serve in Marseille. Friendly personnel. Nice place with great atmosphere.

We’ve been there for lunch: absolutely a lovely experience. The restaurant is hidden in a romantic courtyard close to the port and managed by a group of young guys. They offer organic, delicious dishes at a reasonable price (20-25 euro for a generous portion). Definitely worth the visit!

Not as good as it was and table below the stairs should not be used when the terrace is still available. The products are fresh and good but the magic touch of 3 years ago when we first tried La Passarelle was not there yesterday evening. Staff very professional and warm and friendly welcome.

9/12/15: One of the most beautiful restaurants we had the pleasure of eating at in France! The entire eating area is outside in their very eclectic garden, surrounded by lots of greenery, flowers, and custom modern art made to blend into the very picturesque surroundings. The waiter was extremely nice and courteous with us, despite our not being able to speak a lick of French. The restaurant was busy, but he took his time explaining every single item to us in English. We really appreciated that. You might have noticed now that many of the popular and best restaurants in France require reservations, even if not that fancy. We in fact were turned away at many restaurants previous to this one, and just happened by, and were extremely grateful they were able to seat us. 1. Cafe (coffee) 2 EUR 2. San Pellegrino 5 EUR 3. Beignets de legumes 14 EUR: Not what we typically call "beignets" in America--I think in this case they are referring to the deep fried clumps of vegetables. Lots of different kinds of veggies too--I think you can think of this as French tempura. To be honest, I forgot all the different kinds they had in there, but feel free to check out my picture to get an idea--but there's tons of really pretty colorful leaves, onions, and flowers. And it tasted really great--surprisingly refreshing despite being fried. The perfect fried dish, and dazzling in presentation too! 10/10 4. Veau braise & polenta cremeuse 21 EUR: This is a large single piece of braised veal, arranged as a circle topping polenta, along with eggplant and zucchini on top. According to the waiter it was braised for a very long time, and certainly tasted like it. It was delicious, but perhaps could have been even more moist. 7.5/10. 5. Fine tranches de boeuf & condiments mediterraneen 17 EUR: This is The Most Epic Beef Tartare EVER. So, instead of the typical ultra thin slices of raw beef, theirs is cut relatively thick, maybe a bit less than 1cm thick. The edges are very slightly browned, but most of it is raw like how seared tuna is typically prepared. And there's a couple pieces of fried polenta on top, along with an heirloom tomato salad on the side. But why do I say "epic?"--cause of the amazing toppings on top of the meat! I tried to identify some of it but all I could really recognize are capers, olives, cheese, etc., but there's tons more going on! There's such an amazing array of ingredients used that it is quite a tartare masterpiece! 10/10 We LOVED this place. Definitely one of our culinary highlights here in France! 5/5 #french #Mediterranean #france

Average food, poor service. Had a jar of mussel sauce fall into my lap. Waiter after apologizing left.. had to be called back to provide napkins .. provided just 1 napkin.. had to get extra napkins from another table. Went to toilet to clean up..discovered toilet was in the midde of the kitchen ..literally. Made the average food seem worse.

If I would live in Marseille I would be here every week ! This place is so lovely. The outdoor seating is nice, well decorated... I am really in love with this place. And the staff is nice. Really nice and helpfull. It is a bit hidden in the tourist area of Marseille. But once you find it, you see actually that it is not touristy at all. It is very local. I didn't know it was a popular place in Marseille and I forgot the book a table. They really did their best to give us one and it all worked out at the end. The food is good, even very good. I took lamm with couscous and it was soooo good. And it tried for the first time the local Marseille beer. Really good as well :) Yep I am in love with this place !

I love this place so much! It's hidden behind the Radison on the Vieux Port, and has a beautiful Japanese style garden with pond and hanging lanterns. The menu is small but inventive. The food is out of this world. Very fresh and perfectly seasoned. The place has a great ambience in the evening, with fairy lights and outdoor heaters allowing you to eat and drink late into the night.
