🇫🇷 24 Hours Best French Food: https://youtu.be/h13cCP9wCpw 👉 SUBSCRIBE for more: https://www.youtube.com/@MarkWiens Marseille, France is a city that doesn’t always have a good reputation - in fact many people know it as the most dangerous city in France (maybe in Europe) - but I’m going to show you a different side, from the amazing beauty to the incredible local food. This was one of the most delicious days I had in France. Thank you to my friend Sophie Brissaud (https://www.instagram.com/sophie_brissaud/ Food and Wine Journalist, Author) for taking us around and for sharing her incredible knowledge of French gastronomy and history with us. We’re starting this morning at Vieux-Port, the center of Marseille on the port. Every morning locals come to sell the fresh catch of the day straight from the Mediterranean. Unfortunately today was very windy, so there wasn’t as big of a catch as usual. La Caravelle (https://maps.app.goo.gl/3d61g85iPscbNVJH9) - We then headed over to have a coffee with Ezekiel Zerah at one of the most historical cafes in Marseille. Sur le Pouce (https://maps.app.goo.gl/j9i3YJcCJe72YcP7A) - Marseille has a large North African community, and you’ll find some of the best North African food outside of North Africa here, so I was very excited to try Tunisian couscous. Total price - €23 for everything You also can’t miss the incredible sights and views of Marseille. From Cathédrale La Major to Notre-Dame de la Garde! Chez Etienne (https://maps.app.goo.gl/gFnV5QpSuWDECcXX6) - Did you know Marseille is the pizza capital of France? And we’re going to one of the best pizza restaurants in Marseille to see how they serve pizza different from anywhere else in the world. Total price - €68 for 2 people Restaurant Michel (https://maps.app.goo.gl/vzDh4AorrunmgAHi9) - If there’s one French food you have to eat in Marseille, it’s Bouillabaisse, a fisherman’s soup originating in and around Marseille, and at Restaurant Michel they’ve perfected their recipe for three generations. I’m not saying this lightly, it was a life-changing meal, and even Sophie said it’s by far the best bouillabaisse she’s ever had in France. Total price - €204 for 2 people Marseille may be a little rough around the edges, but I found the people to be friendly and helpful with lots of characters, and the food to be some of the best in France.

I have watched every video you have produced and this is by far the best! I’m not French. I’m an eastern Kentucky old man of 74 years. This allows me to experience the world I would otherwise never know. Thanks so much Mark. You are greatly appreciated.

Wherever Mark goes, I always visit the same restaurants and ask for the "Mark Wiens menu", never disappointed... whether it’s Morocco, Turkey /Istanbul , Portugal/Lisbon and more! But what's truly fascinating is that now he visited my own city Marseille, and still managed to show me something new I didn't know about. Looks like I'll have to check out the "Wiens menu" here in Marseille too. Thank you Mark

I had one dinner in marseille in 2010. It’s a restaurant along the bay or marina. I left my wallet on the table after the bill and realized it the following day. I tried to find the restaurant phone number after already left marseille. Finally, they found my wallet with about $1200 and kept it. After they trusted me they mailed my wallet back to me at my home address. This is to show my appreciation to the restaurant honesty. Thanks again.
