Marseille, France is a city that doesn’t always have a good reputation – in fact many people know it as the most dangerous city in France (maybe in Europe) – but I’m going to show you a different side, from the amazing beauty to the incredible local food. This was one of the most delicious days I had in France.
Thank you to my friend Sophie Brissaud (https://www.instagram.com/sophie_brissaud/ Food and Wine Journalist, Author) for taking us around and for sharing her incredible knowledge of French gastronomy and history with us.
We’re starting this morning at Vieux-Port, the center of Marseille on the port. Every morning locals come to sell the fresh catch of the day straight from the Mediterranean. Unfortunately today was very windy, so there wasn’t as big of a catch as usual.
La Caravelle (https://maps.app.goo.gl/3d61g85iPscbNVJH9) – We then headed over to have a coffee with Ezekiel Zerah at one of the most historical cafes in Marseille.
Sur le Pouce (https://maps.app.goo.gl/j9i3YJcCJe72YcP7A) – Marseille has a large North African community, and you’ll find some of the best North African food outside of North Africa here, so I was very excited to try Tunisian couscous. Total price – €23 for everything
You also can’t miss the incredible sights and views of Marseille. From Cathédrale La Major to Notre-Dame de la Garde!
Chez Etienne (https://maps.app.goo.gl/gFnV5QpSuWDECcXX6) – Did you know Marseille is the pizza capital of France? And we’re going to one of the best pizza restaurants in Marseille to see how they serve pizza different from anywhere else in the world. Total price – €68 for 2 people
Restaurant Michel (https://maps.app.goo.gl/vzDh4AorrunmgAHi9) – If there’s one French food you have to eat in Marseille, it’s Bouillabaisse, a fisherman’s soup originating in and around Marseille, and at Restaurant Michel they’ve perfected their recipe for three generations. I’m not saying this lightly, it was a life-changing meal, and even Sophie said it’s by far the best bouillabaisse she’s ever had in France. Total price – €204 for 2 people
Marseille may be a little rough around the edges, but I found the people to be friendly and helpful with lots of characters, and the food to be some of the best in France.

محلاه صوت و كلام التوانسة في الفيديو و هو ياكل في الكسكسي
Mark sorry but tunisian/North African food isn't local food of Marseille..it's just the food of the illegal immigrants who bring crime there too
Mark my man you're doing a great job !making me hungry all the time ! keep up t the great job ! work
I live 40 min away from Marseille in France.
I usually never go to Marseille because of traffic jam and lazyness.
But your great video just make me changes my plan for the weekend. I'm going to Marseille and enjoy the city like you! 😍
Southern France has food that is so brilliant. The food of Marseille has such a unique diverse mix of cuisine. I've been to the restaurant where you and your friend had the Bouillabaisse. It is a thing of wonders and magic. I sat and watched both of you transported off to Bouillabaisse heaven. When I return to Marseille, I will return to that restaurant. Also, the pizza and North African food is out of this world!!!! Marseille also offers the sweets and pastries from North Africa. Amazing!!!!!
Also, I found Marseille to be laid back and welcoming. I didn't feel any danger. Like any city in France, always have manners. Its the rude and nasty people they don't like. Even if you don't speak French, Merci and Bon jour are always going to be the two words that let them know that you care about the culture.
Many of the French want to be mean to you. But if you use Merci and Bon jour, they can't be mean to you. They must also be polite in return. It is one of those unwritten rules of French culture.
I would like to see Turkish subtitles in the subtitle options in the video. 🇹🇷
I've been watching Mark since he was 1.9M subs.
This oriental food 😂😂😂
Wow
the last one looks so good holy
we're not the most dangerous city of france. at all. not by amount of crimes, nor crimes per capita, only by reputation I guess. but if it keeps too many tourists from coming over, it's fine.
G’day from very near Marseille. Haven’t you asked yourself why they don’t accept credit cards ? With cash no trace, no trace, no tax 😅
Woow the food are so amazing !! beatiful City Marseille
C'est quoi les fromages sur la pizza ?
Stuff ll talk too much Mark. DELICIOUS
I will like to make a food tour of marseille 😅 I live close to marseille, I need something that can take me around marseille
Be careful with Cassis wine – it is expensive. And somehow places are out of other regional wines so you have to pay the premium of almost 30€ for a bottle.
Hi Mark, great video's as usual, but one minor correction; Marseille has been considered the oldest city in France, until recently, where excavations showed that Bézier was a couple of decades older in fact. A small detail, nevertheless – bon appétit
greetings from an Austrian living in Lyon
I honesty hate olives. Perhaps I haven't had the correct ones? too salty and too much hit from them.
Perhaps I require seedless or seed in.Not sure.
❤❤❤
Pizza made by algerians is better than Italian pizza 100%
Meme pas je mets les pieds a Marseille . J y suis allē une fois, ça m a suffit .
Aïoli is not Mayonnaise with garlic, normally it's potato and garlic with olive oil, no egg in it, prepared in a mortar
This is ‘bourgeois bouillabaisse’, not the original recipe. Should use 1 day old fish leftovers from the market, gives it that special flavor. Should use day old bread as well and not toasted bread. This is supposed to be an economical dish, 10 euro per person or so.
That fish looks drab af. Wasn’t expecting anything great from French cuisine but still, it is surprisingly basic.
sitting in marseille right now.. place is a dump… lets be real… too much crime. nice locals though, if you take the time to meet them. been here for years btw. a lot of what your saying doesnt seem true though… embelished for youtube i suspect.
C'est Marseille bébé
Chez Michel jamais été, j'irai probablement la semaine pro. Ca a l'air exceptionnel
Officially Marseille isn’t France’s oldest city. Quite recently, around last year, older remains as been found in Béziers which is now the oldest city
Sorry, but the fish don't look very healthy, especially for a city like Marseille! 26mn:16
"Ohhhh. Its thin." Of course it is, its a pizza, not an american abomination.
Revient essayer les panisses
Marseille is the best human garbage in France. Couscous is not French 😂 Pizza is not French ! 😂
Esta mierda😂😂😂
Go to Lyon next, actual best food in France
only in France and Japan we eat like this , the rest of the world is just some version of pimped fast food
You make beautiful videos Mark. Love from France
The best food in France is in Landes (Mont-de-Marsan, Dax) and Gers (Auch, Condom).
Mdr😂😂😂 mais c'est quoi cette pizza 😂😂 omg déjà la pizza au rouleau 😂😂 la sauce tomate façon passata 😂😂😂😂, de huile de tournesol 😂😂😂 de l'Emmental 😂😂😂 j'ai envie de vomir, c'est n'importe quoi, je suis chef depuis 24 ans les gars, et pizzaiolo, et italien ,rien ne va dans cette pizza, elle est mm brûlé 😂😂😂😂

Pardon mais je suis choqué !!! Mais depuis quand il y a du Chili Peppers dans la rouille 😂😂😂😂😂 mais c'est n'importe quoi
