This place isn't one of those touristy places where they serve you bad food. They take their food quality really seriously here. You can tell based off of what you get. The wait staff is pretty nice although service is really slow. I suppose it is not the American way where they push you out. Instead, they take your time so you can enjoy your food. For parents of little ones though, I would have appreciated some more expediency. The food was sooooo good. They serve typical Provincal food. We got their seafood platter. The freshly made garlic mayo complimented the food perfectly. I also got the shrimp and rice. This was yummy but not as good as the seafood platter. The next day we got grilled octopus with rice. The octopus was perfectly grilled. For high quality food, the price point isn't too bad. I think it is on the more affordable end.

I ordered the linguine and clams dish, which was I did enjoy the flavor of, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I just felt like the portion size was way to small, and I felt like it was more of a snack. I guess since clams typically don't have as much meat, and there was no other protein in the dish, it was less filling. The taste was good for sure, but it was just standard noodles with some oil and parsley, topped off with lemon. The service was also a bit slow, so overall I just felt like the experience was so so. Could be a good place to just hang out at and snack at but if you are particularly hungry maybe this isn't the best option.

After hearing how well-known Marseille is for pizza, my husband and I decided to seek out pizza…read moreduring our stay. I saw on Yelp that Sauveur had fantastic reviews, so we went to go find it. It's definitely hidden from the tourist beat and is pretty far off from the Old Port. We arrived around 9pm on a weeknight and the patio was completely full. There was only 1 table left inside, which we managed to snag. There's really nowhere to wait for a table, which is a high possibility if you come here to eat. Service was friendly, and the language barrier here was not as evident at the other restaurants we ate at, basically because this was pizza. We shared a bottle of wine and decided to split one larger pizza to save room for dessert. We ordered the Parma Bianca, which had prosciutto, arugula, parmigiana, emmental, and balsamic. This was one of the best pizzas I have had and certainly better than what I thought I'd find in Marseille! Ingredients were fresh, the pizza was served uncut (as it should be), the toppings were evenly distributed, and the crust was perfectly crisp and not overly cooked. For dessert, we wanted the chocolate mousse but they did not have it, so we ordered the coffee tiramisu. It was delicious-no regrets they didn't have the chocolate mousse! After dinner, the restaurant gives a complimentary shot of limoncello, which is always a sweet ending to a delicious meal! I'd definitely return here in the future, and I recommend anyone who is looking for a delicious, reasonably priced meal to do the same!

We came in just as they opened, around 19:30, as is written on their door. The terrace is situated in a cozy little alley, with locals living in the apartments floating above your heads. It's such a lovely atmosphere, in my opinion, to see folks hanging out their windows staring out into the street. An element that makes the space feel more unassuming. We had two pizzas to share - the regular mushroom (champignons) and the buffalo mozzarella fresh tomato. Both were wonderfully complemented the other as the mushroom was a little heavy, while the mozzarella was lighter in texture. My personal favorite was the lighter of the 2, as it's definitely a lot to eat. If you're feeling slightly hungry, I recommend sharing the smaller size between two. It's doable, and especially if you have a side salad and dessert, it's a lot of food to conquer. Just a warning -- the green salad (vert) has a LOT of oil on it. A little too much for me, so it was difficult to finish. We also got a pitcher of the red table wine, which was divine. Definitely get the tiramisu and a coffee to top off the whole experience! Prices aren't crazy for how good this place is! Get there early if you want a table outside.
