Restaurant Saisons

"In the heart of Marseille, a stone’s throw from Place Castellane, this contemporary venue is the exuberant project of a duo of pros, both local lads. Chef Julien Diaz, who honed his talents in London and Corsica, works with sommelier Guillaume Bonneaud. Seating for thirty, a pared-down interior, depicted by wood, iron and untreated materials, spot on food-wine pairings and creative cuisine that bears witness to the establishment’s ethos, particularly in terms of seasonal and locally sourced ingredients from the Mediterranean and Corsica. The lunchtime menu is a bargain." - Michelin Inspector

"Chef Julien Diaz’s approach in the kitchen is as clean and contemporary as the decor of his restaurant. Here he prizes seasonal Mediterranean produce on a menu that evolves regularly, but tends toward dishes like oven-roasted Corsican brocciu cheese with thinly sliced radishes, fresh peas, cucumbers, and pickled radish; saffron risotto with cypress oil, Corsican honey, and grated pinecone; and John Dory roasted in seaweed butter with peas and an earthy-green crab broth. The well-dressed crowd receives suave service and a great selection of local wines poured by the glass." - Alexander Lobrano
