Before sharing my critique, I’d like to highlight that the waiter truly saved my dining experience at this restaurant. She spoke excellent English—far better than what I typically encountered in Marseille—and was exceptionally kind, going above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant meal. Her professionalism was outstanding.
Additionally, I must acknowledge that the octopus starter was well-prepared. However, beyond that, many aspects fell short. At some point between my reservation and my visit, this restaurant seems to have vanished from the Michelin app. After my experience, I understand why.
The restroom was in poor condition, resembling that of a pub rather than a fine-dining establishment: only an air dryer was available (no towels), and the toilet seat was discolored with brown stains. The wine cabinet’s glass windows were visibly dirty; a detail I couldn’t ignore, given my view of them from the table.
The table setting was inconsistent and underwhelming; while other diners had thick white napkins, mine were cheap paper ones, as if I were at a fast-food joint. The starter included tough, dried tomatoes that tasted straight from a can. As for the main course, the pork was overcooked.
Overall, the experience was disappointing, and the restaurant’s decline in standards seems evident.
