We opted for a tapas style sampling of small plates: a hearty red tuna and langaston ceviche, a homemade fois gras that was among the best I've ever had, tender and rich warm artichoke hearts coupled with lardons, a simple and breathtakingly gorgeous burata (imagine a sack made of tender mozzarella filled with a creamy light curd-like cheese), and a cabinets served with hot and crusty bread. A feast of all the senses. Skip the bay side food factories and treat yourself to an authentic French culinary treat.

I ordered the vegetarian salad, which was one of the best salads I've ever had in my entire life. Just gorgeous greens, tomatoes, shaved carrots, and perfect, plump sundried tomatoes, in a thick balsamic dressing. Simple but just right! The fries stole the show though, they were DEFINITELY the best fries I have EVER had!!! Patatas bravas... thick-cut fries heavily seasoned with herbs-de-Provence... IN Provence!!! SO, SO, SO delicious!!!! Not to mention, my order came with a generous basket of yummy French bread, which came in handy to sop up the balsamic dressing. The food was so good and the waiter was so friendly that once I was done, I couldn't resist ordering an espresso to finish off my meal. I'm glad I did! The waiter brought me out some French nougat that he INSISTED I try (yes, I'm vegan... but I will try a nibble of vegetarian things from time to time), and he poured me a shot of honey rum that he said was great for sipping. I sipped my shot of rum... and he poured me another one! (The waiter was doing this for the customers around me, too). The guy waiting on me was so, so, so nice... even without the free rum and nougat. The service here was above and beyond, I recommend this place whole-heartedly even without the free goodies. It's a small place, there's not much room to sit inside, and not much space outside either. There's also not much on the menu, especially for vegetarians, but it's great to have a few items that you have perfected, and that's what you'll find here. Also, it was very inexpensive!!! I was happily surprised! If you are in Aix-en-Provence, you MUST come here!!!

Loved the poulpes (little octopuses) which were tasty. The mange-tout were all right, nicely fried up, but I'm not a big fan of those salty little fish. The panisses are great: little chickpea patties, very simple, fried crispy and tasty. Apparently, they're a local specialty. I'm glad I tried them at Gilda's, because they were excellent here, and I can totally imagine someone messing them up. A perfect accompaniment to the other food. Gilda knows how to fry up some good food. Definitely a fond food memory of Marseille.

Chez Gilda was recommended by my boyfriend's friend, and I'm so glad we got to try it.The prices were also reasonable and the people so friendly. The chef was warm, friendly and made excellent food. His co-owner made amazing hummus that I will absolutely dream about going back for. This place is a must for anyone who visits Marseille. The jumbo shrimps were cooked perfectly, as was everything else we ordered (aka just about the entire menu), like the calamari and the octopus. We washed everything down with beer and white wine, and got to eat outside on a perfect late summer's eve. The restaurant is tiny, as there's limited seating outside and a counter where you can stand and eat inside, but it was clean and vibrant.
