Le Miramar

Frommer's Review

Set in a room graced with frescoes of underwater life and big windows that open onto the Vieux Port, except for Le Petit Nice, Le Miramar offers the grandest dining in Marseille, as it is linked to a terrace overlooking Marseille's Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. Bouillabaisse aficionados flock here to savor what will surely be a culinary highlight of your trip. Actually, it's traditionally two dishes, a saffron-tinted soup followed by the fish poached in the soup. It's eaten with une rouille, a sauce of red chiles, garlic, olive oil, egg yolk, and cayenne. The version served here involves lots of labor and just as much seafood.
