The only thing we were slightly disappointed with was the fish soup, which was probably more on us than the restaurant -- we both agreed it just wasn't our thing. One thing we didn't realize when we ordered -- we could have ordered virtually the same thing under the price fixed menu for significantly less, but instead ordered a la carte. Would definitely do the price fixed if we could do it over.

I went to the Chaudron for my first dinner because it was the only place I distinctively remembered. Everything I've tasted there has been great. The appetizers are particularly delicious. Three years ago, when I was there for the first time, David recommended the Peach Cake for desert. Before serving it, he had me promise not to eat Peach Cake anywhere else. I kept my promise. Three years later, I called in advance to make sure they were still serving it. The cake was just as good as I remembered it. Thank you, David. We love dining with you.

We had Tartar de Wahoo and Veal the night I stopped and begged for takeout (which they probably won't do). The food was great. Great vibe. Awesome food. Top-notch drinks. And I'm a Washington DC food and drink snob. This place is reasonable (€62 for 4 entrees and a drink) and amazingly high quality food and drinks. I'll be back, and I'm only here a week. I can't recommend this place high enough.

This night our search along the Old Port was for mussels. Le Bocal advertised several flavors at…read morereasonable prices on their blackboards, so we stopped. We started with the salade croustillions de chevre to share. I had the moules curry avec frites. We split the profiteroles for dessert. We drank a pitcher of the house white. The salad was my favorite - fresh greens with goat cheese in flaky pastry. The mussels and profiteroles were good, but nothing special. The server was very friendly, working hard to be charming and hospitable in English, busily attending all the patrons with ease.

I'm leaning more towards a 2-star rating, but I'm feeling generous today, I guess. We were wanting…read moreMussels and Yelp led us to Le Bocal. Look, the food is 4-5 star. It was very good. We really enjoyed the Mussels - they were big, plentiful and very well made. The rest of the night was what really put a negative spin on things. We get our food just fine. We eat the food just fine. We decline dessert. We ask for the bill. Then we wait. For about twenty minutes we see no employee. We figure they are busy and hell, what do we care? We're on vacation. But another fifteen minutes go by and I finally flag down a table busser. I ask him if he can get our bill. He explains that you can only pay inside. Umm, okay, why weren't we told that? Now, keep in mind I have nothing to show the person you pay with. The man standing behind the register inside the restaurant asks for my bill. I explain we never got one. I tell him what we ordered, even the wine. He gets pretty upset. Yells out to our server and he asks her where our ticket is. She looks confused and says she doesn't know, she gave it to another employee. He barks at her and she gets mad, replies and walks away to find that other employee. That employee says she doesn't know where it is, and walks away. Keep in mind I'm standing there watching all this, feeling like an idiot because all I want to do is pay and these people are fighting all around me. The first server comes back when the owner/manager/guy behind the register yells at her. She gets mad, goes into the kitchen, finds the ticket, comes back and slams it on the table next to him. Meanwhile, I'm standing there. He then looks at me, barks out a figure (I believe it was about 65 Euros). I hand him my credit card. He shakes his head and says "No cards. Not here." This is when I get mad. You mean to tell me that no cards are taken at an establishment where the bills must run over 30 Euros, even for a single diner? Hell, the table next to us clearly had at least a couple hundred Euros for a bill; are you going to tell them no card? Luckily we had cash on us, but this was really weird. The way they acted, the way they fought and then to drop the "no cards" on us at the last second? No signs anywhere indicating this, no mention when ordering that cash is the only accepted form of payment. For the food I would suggest this place. But that's it. I can't support the behavior of the guy manning the register. If he owns or manages the place then I hope he takes some training on how to speak to his staff. And damn, put up a sign that says cash only and you have to pay inside. It'll save everyone a headache.

Out of the three dinners we experienced in Marseille, this was by far the best in terms of the tastiness of the food, the quality of the food & the value for money. There were two levels for dining indoors - the tables/chairs were small & intimate. We had to climb narrow stairs to get to the second level, which was where we were seated, with somewhat low ceilings. It was a bit hot on this level. Weather permitting, I would recommend booking a table on the outside terrace off the second level. It was very charming & air circulation seemed better - just watch out for mosquitoes. Now to the food. Somewhat surprising, the place didn't serve any chicken :-) Apparently, they had pivoted from chicken to concentrate on seafood centric dishes. There were four of us in the party & we decided to order a variety of dishes to share. All the creations were delicious. Some of the outstanding dishes were the prawns, fish & the "fried egg" ... the only semi-miss for us was the "dessert egg" which didn't come together as we expected. We rounded off everything with delicious cocktails & espresso. I'd definitely come back to see what new dishes they have to offer. Highly recommended.
