I was really disappointed since the ambiance and the service was great. My husband had the steak and again flavorless but cooked well. Again had to add salt and pepper to help with the seasoning. First meal in Provence kind of disappointed.

3 days in a row I ate at Le Zinc D Hugo. Duck, steak, fish, veal with froi grois. All dishes were…read moreperfection and flavorful to the point I want to desperately eat more of these dishes. Blue cheese, shallot, and peppercorn were three of the sauces I tried and they were all top notch. Handsome waiter Cedric gave us the best service and let me custom order certain Vegetables and sauces I wanted. He also gave us great recommendations for cool local places to go and ALL of his recommendations ruled. Venue is cozy, nice, sexy and quaint. Also they offer fleur de sel on the table as salt. This is very exquisite and if you've never tried it you are in for a treat. On my last visit I had to know who the chef was and how come this food tastes so good. He said the chef has traveled all over and collected his best recipes. Then I just had to gush to the chef how much I loved his food. First I begged him to move to Texas to open a place and he funnily refused. Next I pleaded he write a cookbook and one day he just may. Alas, oh rugged chef you give great hope for life and give me great inspiration for cooking. Your fan, Lindsay

My favorite pub right now. Great it summer, haven't been there now that it's gotten "cold". The…read moreonly place I know of that has craft beers. Here you will not find the mega brewery BS, or the megabrewery disguised as a craft brewery, no 16, Kronenbourg, Heine@#$en (won't pronounce it) or any crap like that. Really good brews, cools ambiance, polite bartenders, great terrace, no more expensive than anywhere else, often live music, big mixed plates of cheese/vegetables/cold cuts.

What a cool place. I can't believe that in an entire year in Marseille I had never even heard of…read moreCarry Nation until last week. I suppose it makes sense as the them is in the vein of clandestine Prohibition-era speakeasy. The server started by asking if it was our first time there and after confirming that it was he proceeded to explain a little about the place and the cocktail list. After leaving us to peruse the cocktail menu for a few minutes he returned with some waters (worth mentioning because this is not a given in Marseille), peanuts and a small sample of one of the cocktails. Very nice touch. I ordered the Moonshine Cobbler which was a well balanced whiskey cocktail and my friend had the Twelve Mile which I thought was delightfully sweet and sour. Definitely a good spot for a date night. Drinks are a bit pricey (€12-€16) but well worth it. Note: Reservation HIGHLY recommended even on a weeknight.

From discovering the entrance to this secret bar, to the warm unobtrusive service, to the everything-they-made-was-a-wow drinks - we loved the place! So sad this isn't our neighborhood bar.... Bartender Romain was fantastic - told him our preferences and for each and every drink, he whipped up exactly what we had in mind plus a special twist. Him and Nico actually enjoyed chatting to us about the types of liquer they use. Nico actually mixing up a special souvenir bottle to take back home. Thanks guys!

For €5 here, you get a cocktail that'll completely rock your world! And by rock your world, I mean,…read moreyou'll be dancing on table tops soon enough from how much alcohol they tip in! Not bad if you're after a bit of Dutch courage!!!! My partner in crime who ordered a Cuba Libre (made up of dark rum representing Cuba, coke cola representing freedom / America and a cheeky wedge of lime) lamented that not much libre was happening in his particular Cuba. And all of this was said with a grimace turned grin that grew wider and wider as more of his drink was consumed! On many an afternoon once we found this little hot spot, a drink or two would help us kick the night off right! There's table service too, so just plonk yourselves down somewhere that tickles your fancy and flag down wait staff when you see them rushing past. I think depending on what time of day you pop in, they offer dishes of black olives as a free appetizer too. So basically €5 for a cocktail, a free appetizer combined with a perfect view for people watching, it really is not a bad deal at all!

There are a surprisingly large quantity of Irish pubs in Marseille. I think we walked by at least…read more2-3 others on the same strip before settling in at "Le Shamrock" for a pre-dinner drink. If you don't like fighting a crowd, I recommend showing up to the waterfront bars in Marseille on a Wednesday night in October! :) Fall is an "off-season" in Marseille, so the entire patio of tables (probably 150 seats) was basically empty, excepting our group. Staff is friendly and generally pretty quick (again, perhaps due to non-existent crowds). There's a full bar drink selection, including my most recent great discovery: peach syrup mixed with light beer (don't knock it until you have tried it). Huge plus in that they take credit cards (not a given in Marseille), but pretty big minus in that they generally won't keep a tab. Free olives and sour cream and onion chips located near the door! They're self-serve - grab a bowl (or several) and bring them to your table.
