Located at 17 rue François Rocca in Marseille’s 8th arrondissement, just steps from AM, Alexandre Mazzia’s food truck has reopened under a new name: Michel par AM.
Michel, a tribute to the chef’s fisherman grandfather
The name Michel pays tribute to Alexandre Mazzia’s grandfather, a fisherman and a founding figure in the chef’s imagination and his close bond with the sea. Behind this simple choice lies a story of transmission, memory and attachment to one’s roots, in a project that is more direct and more mobile, yet still true to the world of the chef behind AM restaurant (5 toques).
A street-food à l’auteur, between Marseille and New York
Michel par AM is built around a short but bold menu, offering a chef-driven street food that doesn’t try to copy fine dining but instead carries its spirit elsewhere. Its culinary identity blends Marseille influences with New York memories, through creations such as the Panat AM, the Big Brother, the AM fries, the chocolate tart and the Beigna-Mazz. Together they shape an instinctive, generous and lively cuisine, where accessibility never comes at the expense of personality.
Lunch as a new playground
Designed for a quick, honest and generous format, Michel par AM is meant to be a lunch spot reaching a wider audience. The project also embraces an open-door approach, including a student menu priced at €12. Its close ties to local producers, market gardeners, fishermen and spice artisans across the Marseille area remain at the heart of the offer, upheld with the same rigor found at the chef’s other addresses.
