Absolutely phenomenal, amazing, delicious, and creative meal…read more Pros: -The food was very, very good. We ordered the big meals that come on the butcher blocks "Les Grillades." I got the beef fillet and it was extremely tender and perfectly cooked. I ordered it with the optional sauce and it made all the difference (my mouth is watering thinking about it). -The side dishes that came with my beef fillet are what really sets it apart. At first, the plate looked random. A random tomato, a random onion. Random things. But, they were cooked in a unique way- almost candied. Somehow, it all worked really well with the steak, sauce, and other sides. -They do have an English menu Cons: -Service was just ok. He said he didn't speak English, which was perfectly fine by us. We can get by with French and Google Translate. However, half-way through the dinner he starts speaking English. I just got the impression they like to bust the tourists' balls. -It's very cramped in there and seating is limited. Get a reservation.

The bruschetta was excellent, the aubergine on top well-seasoned, the bread itself crisp. The beef was cooked to perfection and served on rustic wooden boards with a lovingly presented array of sides - a baked tomato, a jacket potato, carrot mousse and crunchy greens. Can definitely and highly recommend.

More like a 3.5 rating, but I'll round up for the experience. Couldn't have stopped by Marseille…read morewithout trying Chez Fonfon, a restaurant we've seen hundreds of reviews online about. The restaurant is located down a set of stairs, by a small area of boats in the water. We had a reservation at noon, so we were able to get seated away. The first floor was packed, and soon the second floor filled up too. The restaurant boasts a lot of natural sunlight. They have a QR code menu with the English translation, and all the servers can speak English too. The portions are quite large (and simultaneously pricey lol), and one entree is required per person. We were served a foie gras to start, along with some bread. The bread was super hard to bite into - I can't lie, felt like I would break a teeth biting into it - I expected better. The oysters were much better, very fresh and briny. The fish was enjoyable as well, with the star being the monkfish -- tasted like lobster! The chefs didn't add much flavoring on top of the fish, preserving their natural taste. Each fish dish also came with a vegetable and cous cous side, which was nice. And lastly for the dish everyone comes for, the bouillabaisse. This stew contains five different types of fish, which they even bring out to show you. While this is supposed to be the star of the show, I have to say I enjoyed the other two fish dishes better. From my experience, the bouillabaisse has a singular flavor profile - slightly tangy tomato. Not to say that the broth is bad, but I do think it gets tiring after eating many spoonfuls of it. I can't say I can name all 5 fish in the dish, but some of the 5 were very tender, whereas others felt more firm and rubbery. I will give bonus points for them giving you "unlimited" stew and refilling the broth - but just not my cup of tea. Overall, still very glad to have tried bouillabaisse - wouldn't have been a trip to Marseille without it! While it wasn't my favorite and was pricey, I can't deny that there is definitely high quality fish here at Chez Fonfon.

I should have did a YouTube review but I'll just do a yelp. The soup hot is great but remember it was hot outside too. The window was cracked but still hot and only one of their AC worked. So it was hot in the main room. I could barely finish all the fish as there's just a large portion of fish. If you enjoy fish, you can pick or you can try. The service was 4/5 I didn't think it was perfect but I'm American and I don't really care lol for the price this is. I wish I could of used the steam room after to sweat out all the sodium but after you walk around on a hot day you actually feel great trying all these fishes lol If you are here and you're a foodie, then it's worth eating.
