A modern interpretation of the cuisine of Marseille: Restaurant L’Épuisette (16. February 2023)
It is somehow not the first time this has happened to me – I had booked for the wrong evening. Luckily, there was still one table left – for one person, right in the middle of the dining room. So, I was a bit exposed right there, but it was okay. I decided to go […]
Decent Bib Gourmand experience focussing on black truffles: Restaurant Le Lauracée (15. February 2023)
Given they had something special on the menu, a “truffle menu” (EUR 115.00), I decided to give it a try, since it was also the easiest way to pick something from the menu. The first course was a “mise en bouche découverte”, which was basically scallops with black truffle. And while I am always sceptical […]
Unfriendly service, but surprisingly decent cuisine: Restaurant Oh Massalia @ AC Hotel by Marriott Marseille Prado Velodrome (14. February 2023)
Since it was not easy to find a restaurant on short notice for Valentine’s Day, I decided to eat something in the hotel restaurant, and was quite happy there was actually space. The welcome was not really a welcome, as the waiter was somewhat rude. However, luckily the waiter changed, and the second waiter was […]
A nice signature dish but very confused service personnel: Restaurant Signature (26. October 2022)
Another day, another star. That was the motto of the week. And it was time to try out the Signature, which offers a “tasting menu” (EUR 139.00) with the respective “wine pairing” (EUR 89.00). But before you get the first actual course served, you’re given a little refreshing “Anis infusion”. Usually, I’m not a big […]
When you end up in a sushi chain: Restaurant Sushi Shop Lulli (26. October 2022)
Sometimes, you need food urgently, and you need something which looks decent, and you end up with a chain (which I didn’t know when I ordered). I went for the following selection – “Dragon Roll (avocat, oeufs de saumon, piment, mayonnaise, teriyaki, ciboulette, sesame)” (EUR 10.90), “Tartare de Saumon (saumon et avocat à la Mayonnaise […]
When your tasty meal is accompanied by a wine pairing from a very passionate sommelier: Restaurant Une Table Au Sud (25. October 2022)
Since it was my first time in Marseille, I decided to have dinner at a place which had good ratings, and the 1-Michelin-starred Une Table Au Sud had this, so, time to try. I went for the “6-course menu ‘Marseille’” (125.00 EUR) which focusses on the regional and local cuisine instead of combining international (and […]
