Chef's Restaurant It's impossible to visit Marseille without saying hello to "la Bonne Mère". Once you've admired the unique viewpoint, and bought a few trinkets, the Jardin des Colonnes on Puget Hill is the ideal place to stop and sip a cocktail at Julius, or to share an almost country-style lunch, in the heart of the 2ᵉ ville de france. Usually, under the large pine tree facing the terrace, Paul Langlère the chef, steers his service with a simple bat of the eyelashes. He knows the Marseillais and their habits very well, and "his place" is an absolute success. But sometimes he's not there... and you can tell right away. At this luncheon, the service ran after the plates, the welcome uncertain. It's a good thing the attractive menu and southern cuisine don't require too much explanation. Beautiful, like these rolls stuffed with brocciu. It's tasty, like the generous free-range poultry with potatoes, chard and turnips, and it's gourmet, thanks to this ingenious dessert: buckwheat shortbread with white chocolate cream and celery ice cream. The wine selection is original, and avoids the negociants and highwaymen. It's a safe, pleasant and cool place to go when the heat starts to hit the city, to see Marseille not in sepia, but in panoramic!
