Where to taste an authentic bouillabaisse? At one of Marseille's best restaurants, Chez Michel in the 7th arrondissement. The waiter will bring a basket with five kinds of fresh fish to your table so that you could see for yourself the quality of the main ingredients of the soup. But you will have to pay 58 EUR for this pleasure (and this is only for one soup!).
Tourists in their reviews also recommend trying another specialty dish in Marseille's restaurants, the pied-à-terre, whose main "hero" is mutton belly. It will be served, for example, in the restaurant of Provencal cuisine Aux Mets de Provence (18 quai Rive-Neuve).
For inexpensive restaurants in Marseille, look for them in the Le Panier neighborhood and on Rue Pavillon. In the vegetarian institution Auberge "In" the cost of a complex menu is 13.5 EUR. There are also plenty of pizzerias and small Chinese bistros.But the prices in Marseille's restaurants on the Plage du Prado and the southern quay of the Old Port are unreasonably high.
One of the best cafés in Marseille, La Part des Anges in District 1, is also worth a visit. It has an excellent wine list, complemented by a menu with a gourmet delicacy - Marseille-style stuffed artichokes.
Don't miss the Berber tea house Le Shambhala, where you can relax on soft cushions after a stroll around the city. Original dishes are also served at Café Milano - duck with mango salad costs about 14 EUR.
The best prices in Marseille's street cafes. You can have a sandwich and potato chips for only 3 EUR.
