Restaurant AM
The city’s latest must-eat won its third Michelin star in 2023. Here inspirational chef Alexandre Mazzia spins the flavors from the migrant cultures that make up Marseille—including Turkish sumac and Arabian harissa—into a multiple award-winning cuisine. Highlights include seaweed chips layered with sweet potato jelly then topped with grated roe. Dishes are inspired by Mazzia’s complex roots: In a tale typical of this melting pot city, he was born in Congo to Italian and Corsican parents, before washing up in Marseille at the age of 15. Book far in advance.
Too steep for your vacation budget? In 2022, Mazzia opened a gourmet food truck across from his restaurant. It sells dishes like pancakes rolled with barbecued chicken, red cabbage, and chimichurri, served with homemade fries and sweet chili gel, from just 12€.
