That said get there early for the best. Food was amazing and unique. They started with a tapenade and baguette followed by a cold carrot soup, both compliments of the chef. If you want Bouillabaisse, it must be ordered at least 24 Hr in advance. We both enjoyed their seafood appetizers and main courses and loved them.

Options for à la carte, 3-course set, or chef's tasting menu (4 courses at €50). We were a table of 3 and chose the tasting menu. The complimentary amuse-bouche was a creamy asparagus soup. A little too rich in the cream but still bright flavors coming through. Foie ravioli: super savory and not as heavy as it sounds. Mmmmmmmm Langoustines with stuffed squash blossom and crusted polenta: deliciousness. The langoustines were sweet and fresh. The squash blossom was very satisfying in itself. All the elements complimented each other very well. Beef medallions with asparagus, quail egg, fried sweet potatoes and an explosive fried scallion cheeseball. Simple but still lots going on. And still delicious. Dessert: I had a rhubarb crusty whippy tart number which was good, although lot of tartness and sour so might not be for everyone. I liked more my friend's panna cotta. Creamy and not too sweet. AND the kitchen was able to make substitutes and accommodations for my Friend who is Celiac. Service was impeccable. If you have only one meal in Marseille, do it at this bangin resto.

I have a foodie bucket list, and on that list was eating bouillabaisse is Marseille. I can now mark…read morethat off my list after the wonderful experience of eating it at Abaco. My daughter and I were on a Mediterranean cruise and the thing we were most looking forward to was the stop in Marseille. We were up and ready early so we caught a taxi at the dock and rode into the main port. I had previously researched all the places to get bouillabaisse and kept coming back to Abaco as the desired destination. Abaco isn't in the main tourist area, it is more a neighborhood hang out spot, so we had a bit of walking in the city. We arrived at Abaco at 11:15 am. We knew it didn't open until 12 so we were prepared to settle down and wait. Shortly after we arrived, I saw a head poke up in the window and the door to the restaurant opened with the cutest owner, Ms. Jeannine, inviting us in. Walking into Abaco is like walking into your grandmother's house. And this grandmother wants everyone fed. Ms Jeannine didn't speak English and we didn't speak French. Her son spoke enough English that I was able to tell him I would like bouillabaisse and my daughter wanted salmon. I had no idea what salmon dish I ordered for her, but I knew she would like that. The salmon dish was house smoked salmon that looked amazing. It was a large plate so she was barely able to make a dent. My bouillabaisse was wonderful as well. The son explained how to eat and I nodded when he asked if I understood. I guess I was doing it wrong because Ms Jeannine came over and explained it to me speaking french and indicating with her hands. For anyone who stops by in the future, you are supposed to take a crostini and top it with a bit of the incredible aioli they serve on the side. You then drop it into the main bowl of soup. Then take some soup from the small bowls and pour it in top and then eat. It is a really wonderful soup. For desert we shared the chocolate mousse which was amazing. She served it with fresh cream. We were on a cruise and one of my favorite things to eat when I cruise are bagels and lox. Since my daughter had half her meal left, i asked to pack it up so I could eat it for a snack later. Alas, when we returned to the ship we were told we couldn't take carry out meals on the ship. In my state of panic of breaking a rule, I threw it away without even getting a bite. I will now live the remainder of my days upset that I didn't even get to try the salmon. One additional thing I noted is that when we were finishing up, a sole diner wearing a cruise card walked in to eat the bouillabaisse. I think this is the place that the foodies who do their research come to try real bouillabaisse.

The bouillabaisse is well done. The best one I have had in my life. Wonderful service, simple and…read morefriendly locals . Highly recommend this restaurant, it deserves all the praise for the efforts they make.
