Restaurant LE MONTMARTRE (Marseille, France) 2023 : Review

Date of Visit

Visit & Vibes

After arriving in Marseille we had a short wander around and wanted to find somewhere for lunch and we came across this lovely square that was surrounded by a few places to eat.

The reason this caught our attention was they did tapas which meant we could try a few things, plus they did a few nice-looking drinks.

The Food

We wanted one large dish each and maybe one or two small dishes….which then ended up as one small and 3 large dishes.

Patatas Brava ou aioli €6

This was the one tapas dish we ordered to share alongside our main dish.

This was a very good portion and had a good aroma.

The Patatas bravas were cooked nicely and had a nice flavour. It came with two dips and both worked really well with them.

Overall this was a nice sharing dish for us and worked alongside our main dish, and with the drinks we ordered.

Calamars Enfarines Frits €18.00
Sauce aioli, pommes frites

As soon as I saw this on the menu I knew this is exactly what I wanted to order.

On arrival, as you can see you get a good portion size, and it comes with fries and a dip.

The aroma from this was very nicer, and I started with the fries. These were perfectly cooked, lovely and thin and perfectly salted.

The calamari was perfectly cooked and not rubbery, on its own it was very tasty and with the two dips just as tasty.

Recommended if you visit here.

Le Vieux Panier (Marseille, France) 2023 : Review

Visit & Vibes

It was late at night and we wanted some food, but the places we tried either were too busy or the kitchen was closed.

We headed for where we had lunch, but the kitchen was closed and we spotted this place and took a chance.

We were very lucky to get a table and we couldn’t wait for our food.

The Food

At this point, we didn’t care what they served as we needed some food before bed, but they had a good menu and a lot to choose from.

Pizza Saumon Fume €14
Emmental, Creme Fraiche, Saumon (Salmon, fresh cream, Emmental cheese)

I decided to randomly pick something and this pizza was the one that I selected.

On arrival, this looked very nice and also had a nice aroma.

I sliced it up and took a bite.

This was actually a nice pizza, the base was nice and thin, the crust was thin and the flavour was ok. Personally, I would have liked a bit more salmon on this, but that’s just my taste.

Overall a nice pizza and one I would have again.

Final Thoughts…

The service here was a little slow, but once a few more tables were cleared the service picked right up.

There were a few other dishes on the menu that sounded good, so if I return I will check them out.

Visit & Vibes

After a walk around Arles in the morning and Montpellier in the afternoon, we came back to Arles to get some dinner.

Nobody really knew what we wanted but if we saw somewhere that tickled all our tastebuds we were going to check it out.

The Food

Again another wee place we found and was again next to the main tourist spot, when we saw the menu we all felt like a pizza tonight for dinner.

4 Fromages €16

I had not had a 4 cheese pizza for a while, and this was what instantly grabbed my attention.

On arrival, this was a good-sized pizza, and it smelled amazing!

The aroma as I have said was great, the flavour was really good, the base was nice and thin and the crust was also thin.

It wasn’t the best 4 cheese I have had but it was very close and very nice.

This was a lovely night, and sitting next to the Amphitheatre all lit up was really nice.
