Concierge "Chez Michel is not the most attractive restaurant, thanks to a cheesy, seafood-inspired decorating scheme, but it does offer delicious and authentic Marseillaise cuisine."
Travel + Leisure "The nautical-themed exterior may seem touristy, but the cuisine is considered the most authentic in the city." Full review
Fodor's "Before dining, the fish are paraded by your table then ceremoniously filleted before being served with all the classic accompaniments: a spicy rouille, buttery croutons." Full review
Afar Magazine "The dishes to try? Hands-down the bouillabaisse, the traditional Marseillais fish stew served with toast and rouille (a garlic mayonnaise), and its Provencal counterpart, bourride." Full review
