Au Bout du Quai means "at the end of the dock," and this is exactly where this restaurant is situated: at the edge of the Old Port, City Hall-side. Au Bout du Quai is a family affair since a change in ownership in January 2009. Inside, the place is welcoming and the decor very pleasant with a breathtaking view of Notre Dame de la Garde and the Abbaye St Victor. To sit outside on sunny days is also a real pleasure. As more and more restaurants do nowadays, the menu changes daily and is written on a slate, no paper menu here. Although daily specials depend on the fish caught that day, the dishes all have their very own touch of originality and Provencal taste.

Since 1946, this quaint dining spot, which overlooks the sea, has been the place to go for Bouillabaisse. The menu categorically excludes frozen fish, and even fish raised in captivity: freshness is a top priority here. Grilled fish flambé with fennel, oyster preparations and lobsters innovatively prepared and some really mouth-watering desserts are on offer for affordable rates at Chez Michel.

Peron is a gourmet restaurant in Marseille with an absolutely breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea. Once you’re at the restaurant, whether indoors or on the terrace, you’ll notice the lack of road noise and honking horns –a place where tranquility is total. The restaurant serves many fish specialties and of course the famous Marseille specialty, La Bouillabaisse, which is one of the restaurant’s key dishes. Due to the amazing view and the gourmet standards, Peron’s prices are proportionate. Reservations are strongly recommended.
