  Bouillabaise

One cannot leave Marseille without trying this famous dish at least once. This is best sampled in one of the small restaurants on the Vieux Port, not the touristy 'school dinners' eating establishments where you sit drinking the house red and you buy your girlfriend a rose and you tell the germans next to you that berlin is a great city and isn't marseille so much warmer than london and isn't there much less crime although some one gave my friend a strangle look outside the station and they have a tgv which takes you to paris which is really fast and england could do with one of those and i really like the singing and guitars of the guys dressed like matadors and my friend said that's because marseille was once in spain . Start off with a small dish as it can be quite filling, particularly if it served with pommes de terre.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
