Chez Fonfon

This is a famous seafood restaurant in Marseille, and the price is very affordable and the taste is extremely good. Both locals and tourists in Marseille like to patronize here very much, and the attitude of the waiters is very enthusiastic. It is definitely a restaurant with a very high cost performance and is worth recommending to everyone.

Chez fonfon is a French seafood restaurant near the old port of Marseille. The ingredients here are all fresh seafood landed that day. The preparation is also very authentic and exquisite, the taste is first-class, and the price is not expensive. It is definitely worth recommending.

The most authentic place for Marseille fish soup was founded by Mr. Chez Fonfon in 1952. It is located in Alphonse Muni Port, Marseille. In 1996, Fonfon's nephew Roger took over the restaurant. The signature dishes are the world-famous specialty fish and the famous Marseille fish soup, which attracted many French and international celebrities to dine here. Spread a homemade sauce on the dry bread slices, and then soak them in the fish soup. The soaking time depends on personal taste. The longer the soaking time, the softer the bread. The bread will be completely integrated with the sauce during the soaking process. Then use a spoon to scoop it up with the fish soup and put it into your mouth... The boutique fish meal is very distinctive. The chef roasts it with an open fire in front of the guests. The roasted fish pieces are golden yellow, and the fish skin is immediately lifted. It is very strong but the meat is tender and the taste is fresh. The view outside the window is a quaint little fishing port with many small fishing boats parked. There is an old stone arch bridge between the port and the sea. Looking out from the restaurant window, the lights of the houses on the steep rock walls opposite are shining, reflecting on the sea, glittering and sparkling...

Served a copious portion of a genuine bouillabaisse. Service was well paced, friendly, and attentive but not hovering.

We arrived for the Bouillabaisse but were blown away by the location, views from the restaurant and the service. A five star experience!
