Frommer's Review

Lively and casual with open, high ceilings and a tiled floor that creates a Casablancalike ambience, this restaurant, named after the infamous port city in France, features the food of that city, including its North African influences. That means you'll find such entrees as Moroccan chicken, couscous, and tangine on the menu along with Provençal specialties such as bouillabaisse, which comes in three varieties (chicken, vegetarian, and traditional, made with fish -- stick with the traditional), short-rib daube, salad niçoise, and soup au pistou. You can make a meal of the meze (small plates), which feature a tangy grilled merguez sausage, anchovies, and roasted peppers; brandade (whipped salt cod); tapenade; and broiled sardines wrapped in lardo (thick bacon). Located in the Film Center building on Ninth Avenue, this is a good pretheater choice, but even better when the pretheater rush is over.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
