Une Table au Sud

A very nice and enjoyable lunch, in the heart of Marseille, with spectacular views on Vieux Port. The cuisine has deep Provençal roots with some clins d’œil to Armenia (the young Chef, Ludovic Turac, was born in Marseille but has an Armenian grandmother). It is full of the flavors from this cosmopolitan city and uses various spices from around the Mediterranean (every dish comes with a sampler of the spices used in its composition). The cooking is modern, but without the gimmicks that « modern cooking » sometimes entails. What is modern is the freshness of the ingredients (whose origins are always specified), the clarity of the preparation, the accuracy of the cooking, and the lightness of the dishes. We had the menu « essentiels », which feature two of the Provençal basics: aioli and bouillabesse. And they both taste like aioli and boyillabesse, but not in a traditional and roborative way. They are more like dreams or reminiscences of aioli and bouillabesse. The « cabillaud nacré » melts in the mouth and the aioli sauce, which is lightly emulsified, offers a pleasant accentuation that does not overpower the delicate taste of the fish. The « soup de roche » that accompanies the « rouget » of the bouillabesse, is strong and deep, as it suits to such kind of soup, but again, it does not take the main role. In both cases, there is a subtle balance between the various elements giving a feeling of plenitude but not of fullness. The meal unfolds, like a pleasant journey in the calanques, with its palette of colors and surprises. The cassis white wine was a perfect match to the rouget and the bouillabesse. The service is discreet and efficient. The tableware is original and well harmonized with the food. In short, a southern table, but rejuvenated and looking to the future. We will definitely come back.

Great dinner experience! I absolutely loved the vibe as it was matching the quay outside with seafood and water decor. The staff were very polite, professional, and with eye to detail. The food itself was very pleasant. We had the 7 course set menu and I loved everything on it. The most, I loved the blue lobster and the desserts were nice as they were fresh, fruity, and not too heavy. They also served 3 types of bread, which was a bit much for me personally as matching 3 breads with 7 courses is too much. But, the first bread with olives was absolutely delicious as it was warm, tasty, and very soft. Overall, great place that I highly recommend!!!

We went to 2, one star and 1, 2 star Michelin restaurants while on our Mediterranean trip. This was the best of them all! From the service to the food, everything was perfection! The prices were what you would expect from such a special restaurant. While all of the Michelin restaurants were creative, this topped them all. Even the bread was exquisite! The one dish in my photos was so creative, we had to figure out what part to eat! It was incredible!

The best meal I had in Marseille, Michelin restaurant 2024. I was taking their lunch set menu which was €85. All the food was very tasty and creative. The olive bread did surprise me a lot, I can't stop myself finishing the whole bread. The fish was excellent, it was so tender and fresh. The dessert was very creative. An absolutely outstanding restaurant which you shouldn't miss!

We came here as a wedding present and had a fantastic time. The courses were all delicious and there was plenty of food unlike other fine dining restaurants. As a nice touch to celebrate our wedding the chef also came out to greet us when leaving and gave us a small gift which made it feel special. Would highly recommend if you fancy going somewhere more upmarket in Marseille!

A forgettable experience compared relative to experiences at other michellin resturnats in france. good: - food presentation. - service was exceptional. the staff are professional and attentive Issues worth flagging based on my preference: - the produce (meat, fish and vegetables) felt like they played a secondary role to overpowering sauces that felt at times conflicting - a number of the 7 wines paired with the meal were spanish wines (a surprise to me as the information I read online appeared to flag a focus on local products) Negatives: - only table seated looking towards the city side of the resturant, Every other table in the entire resturant had harbour views or a degree of harbour outlook (we definately didn't get the same ambience as every other table as a result which is a shame and really let the experience down). - this window is also right against a busy intersection and you hear every bus, scooter and car at the intersection. This made it incredibly hard to relax and enjoy. - uncomfortably still/hot due to being in the corner of the secondary dining room - leather chairs in a stuffy room increases discomfort due to a sweaty seat - The combination of the hot and stuffy location, no view of the harbour, and constant traffic noise from the intersection below did not make for a comfortable or relaxing dining experience. It was a shame as so many reviews and the website focussed on the great view and ambience, which we did not really get.

Perfect in all respects. Lovely view of the harbour, charming and highly efficient staff, wonderful inventive food with references to Provence and Armenia. Presentation of the dishes is beautiful. A truly memorable experience. One gets to meet the young chef at the end which is a great bonus.

This was an incredible experience. The food was killer. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Service was amazing. The wine pairings were perfect and appropriate pours. We were not even buzzed after dinner. Our only complaint was the timing of the courses. About half way through the courses started slowing down. I'm not sure if this was intentional. That's a minor grievance compared to the overall experience we had. Thank you for such a memorable visit.
