Marseille Restaurant

You head down Sheep Street and suddenly you're somewhere altogether more continental. Marseille does that thing French restaurants should do but often don't — it feels lived-in rather than performing, with locals who come back because the food actually tastes like someone knows what they're doing. The kitchen takes its time with classical French technique without getting precious about it, which is refreshing when you've sat through too many fussy plating exercises. This is where you go when you want bouillabaisse that tastes right, or duck that's been treated with proper respect.
