Chez Fonfon - Marseille

We wanted to try the bouillabaisse since we were in Marseille and we did here! It was okay overall but the atmosphere was very superficial/ touristy/ a bit pretentious. The location is great but it wasn’t a memorable experience in terms of food.

Great experience to enjoy the traditional Bouillabaisse featuring 5 types of Mediterranean fish. The Bourride has a different yet intriguing taste. The atmosphere was wonderful and the place was absolutely stunning at night. Huge appreciation to Mr.Diouf who was very friendly and helpful.

Don’t waste your time coming here as a foreigner. I can promise you that the service and food quality depends on who you know or who you are. Just look at these pics of the food quality of what we received during our experience here. Not one refresh of our soup while we waited for the fish to arrive. And the service that was received was sub par due to not being a local. Came all the way from the USA to have this soup and what a disappointment this was for this price.

Lovely place and very typical “marseillaise” experience Bouillabaisse was interesting but not something I’d like to eat again (and quite a bit pricey 52€ for one person) Loved the pollack my mom ordered and the gazpacho as an appetizer too! Waitress wasn’t knowledgeable about gluten , but was kind and asked the cook about meals available GF. She did bring regular bread to the table after me specifying I was celiac though…

Gluten free bouillabaisse. AMAZING. Great location, accommodating staff, cozy atmosphere. It was such a treat to have this authentic experience. It you want to try a traditional bouillabaisse, go here!
