"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."

"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."

"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."

"Along with their version of bouillabaisse, they serve the catch of the day; a light soup of crab, giant shrimp, and scallops; steak tartare; and a filet of beef with flash-fried foie gras."
