Discovering French Seafood Delicacies In Marseille

(Source: marseille-tourisme.com) 

The coastal regions of France boast an abundance of fresh catches from the Mediterranean Sea. Seafood has been the cornerstone of local diet for centuries. It all began with simple everyday fisherman’s food. Now French restaurants offer sophisticated reinvented variations of such seafood staples as bouillabaisse, seafood bisque, and sole meunière.  

Marseille is home to a wide range of high-end restaurants to introduce fruits de la mer  enthusiasts into French seafood cuisine.

La Grotte is a luxurious restaurant with a cozy interior and exquisite furniture. Its historic vibes make La Grotte an ambient gourmet retreat. Their sophisticated, chef curated menu offers classic French delicacies, including moules gratinées and pasta del mare. A glass of  Château de Brégançon will be a perfect pairing for your meal.

L'Hippocampe l’estaque offers a classy menu with bouillabaisse at L'Hippocampe being its main specialty. The restaurant provides both indoor and al fresco dining opportunities. 

Chez Aldo stands out with its haute cuisine and upscale service. We absolutely love their delicious pizza anchois (anchovies pizza), red mullet fry, and salmon and St-jacques carpaccio paired with a glass of excellent Mayot Lagoguey blanc.
