A surprise tasting menu with interesting ingredients, beautifully presented. Each dish is well balanced and complements each other, overall a very pleasant experience.
Also reasonably priced

Could have been a great experience, what a pity! We were seated in the corner table close to the toilet. People kept on leaving the toilet door open and the smell was very distracting. I asked to be seated somewhere else but wasn‘t possible. Also didn‘t feel like I was taken seriously. To be honest, the table was a disgrace and people shouldn‘t be seated there in such a nice restaurant.
Food was good. The pâtisserie chef was lovely and extemely kind. She made an effort to make her dishes vegan and explained it all to us. The dessert was the highlight for us.

Exceptional meal from start to finish. The food was precise, beautifully balanced, and full of flavor without ever trying too hard. Every dish felt intentional, textured, danced on your tongue.
The wine pairings were spot on and genuinely elevated the meal rather than competing with it. Textures, seasoning, pacing - perfection!
The atmosphere is warm, calm, and understated, the music was millennial nostalgia:) which made the whole experience feel effortless rather than performative. I was dining alone and felt completely at ease.
Hands (and feet) down, the best meal I had in Marseille. Would go back in a heartbeat.

My favorite restaurant in Marseille. The service here is exceptionally kind, making everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. The food is served “omakase” style (at a very fair price), ensuring you’re getting their very best in terms of local ingredients and preparation that brings out those amazing Provençal flavors. Reserve ahead as it’s understandably popular!

Unbelievably delicious, the perfect way to celebrate. Service was attentive and lovely. The food was all cooked to perfection, well balanced and so morish
