Glad we got to try this restaurant on our last night in Marseille!…read more For starters, we ordered the mussels, fried quid, and octopus salad (not pictured). If I had to choose, I would reorder the octopus salad and would not get the mussels. They flavored the mussels with a parsley sauce which I was not a fan of. The sea bream looks so simple and was so delicious. All it needed was a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon and...voila! Perfection. The fish is served with a platter of vegetables - ranging from green beans, snow peas, carrots, salad... We finished dinner with a lemon tart and chocolate fondue. The desserts were mediocre. I would skip the desserts here and go elsewhere.

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.

We ordered the trio tacos that were amazing especially the barbaccoa. The quesadillas were top notch with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant as it is off the main paths and only open in the evenings but such a hidden gem.
