L'Arôme

Great food and service. Fairly cheap set menu considering the quality. Both the fish and meat dishes were tasty and perfectly cooked. The waiter was able to explain the complex dishes in English. However, the cocktails we were offered at 8€ were watery and the starters came out whilst we still had them. We felt slightly rushed so 4star rather than 5.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here and see why it has received so much praise. Everything was outstanding and you can taste the freshness. Highly recommend, waitress was so very kind as well.

Very good. Cozy atmosphere, kind waitress, good wines, and nicely decorated. The food was amazing. Simple, genuine, and the taste was a bomb. 🥂💕 Excellent quality/price ratio.

I don't really understand why they have such a great score, the food was mediocre, the burrata had a mexican sauce that looked like a can from Lidl, the pork was medium-rear, which is not acceptable, and the fish (cod) didn't have no taste. Dessert was ok... way to expensive for this range price.

So pleasantly surprised by this place. The food was incredible and so fresh, the chefs really know what they are doing. The price was excellent - 3 courses for 29euro. And the service... the staff there are all so accommodating. We don’t speak French and they made us feel welcome and spoke to us in English and explained the menu. I would 100% recommend this place to everyone.

I took my nephew there. The food was so delicious and well served. We really enjoyed everything! Highly recommended!

Best restaurant experience I have ever had! It was back in 2016 my girlfriend and I came by L’Arôme by chance and we loved it. The service was excellent and the food at the same level. I wanted to write a review but couldn’t remember the name of the restaurant. Then - here in 2020 - I found the old receipt and the name: L’Arôme

Best place to have great dinner experience in Marseille! Awesome food, great service, perfect wines, great atmosphere and so friendly people. Highly recommend!

Located among a strip of restaurants in the hipster district of Marseille (Cours Julien), L'Arome's daily changing menu is a delicious introduction to the flavors and possibilities of local French cooking. Coming in for dinner without a reservation, we were seated outside in the alley, but were given no less attention and service from the friendly waiter, who translated the handwritten menu for us to English. For our appetizers, we started with the pasta filled with cod and served in a creamy sauce with artichokes, and the creative sardine "mille-feuille." Normally, mille-feuille is a sweet dessert (also known as a Napoleon) layered with pastry cream and puff pastry. In this case, in between the slices of crispy puff pastry were slices of sardines, and instead of the vanilla pastry cream was a mint pesto. Fascinating and delicious! For our main courses, we moved on to the maigre roti white fish with stuffed zucchini--the flavors of the fish were so distinct and delicious and paired so well with the curry-like sauce. We also had the octopus, which came with two long, tender tentacles served with tender, fried gnocchi and bok choy, which was just as amazing! The focus on ingredients and perfect execution defines French cuisine, and L'Arome's approach with its creative, changing menu and delicious flavors was the perfect embodiment of this! The prices were also surprisingly reasonable (at 24 Euros for two courses, or 28 Euros for three), though the portions were quite small. I'd definitely recommend a visit to this small yet innovative and quality-focused restaurant!

Very good meal, lovely staff, great menu, highly recommended. The food was beautifully cooked. A most enjoyable meal.
