Le Restaurant L’Hippocampe

If you like seafood than this is the place to go to. Fresh produce prepared to perfection. The winelist is quite good also. Staff is knowledgeable and as friendly as can be. A great dinner in my last evening in Marseille

Strolling around the Vieux Port we found the Hippocampe restaurant for dinner. We experienced great service and delicious food including fresh fish and seafood as well as carefully prepared sides and to top It off wonderful desserts. The restaurant manager came to talk to us...and made us feel very welcome. Nice wine selection. Professional service. Fairly priced for quality offered. We will come back on our next trip.

I chose this restaurant based on the positive Tripadvisor reviews for the bouillabaisse. Sadly this was by far the worst bouillabaisse I have ever tasted—there was no seasoning to the soup at all and the taste of the broth could only be described as “muddy.”...The rouille (which was delicious) and croutons could not save the dish. The prices were also quite high (even if the food had been good). That said, the service was friendly and prompt despite the fact that the restaurant was packed View menu

great food. our favorite. directly at the quai du port at the old harbour. offers both a real bouillabaisse for two, and a hard to find version of bouillabaisse for a (38 euro really great with super rich broth. also has an excellent spaghetti avec fruits de Mer...(29e) and super well grilled rougets barbet (24e.) and a very good nougat glac dessert (8.3e) has a ok creme catalan dessert. after the black at sur le port the grilled dourade (sea bream) is excellent. as the cream brle. next to lhippocampe (translation the seahorse is miramar, which also has for two bouillabaisse and is known as the best bouillabaisse in the opposite.

I ordered before the kitchen close with my husband. But, the staff forgot my order. They served only the starter and his meal. I asked the staff and they repeatedly said that due to the kitchen close they couldn’t serve my food. They never apologised...for their mistake and strongly mentioned that my order could not be understood. But, I remember that the staff repeated my order. A few of the restaurant staff visited me to explain the situation that there was no cooker and they couldn’t cook. It was very disappointed that they never apologised and just said that the staff forgot my order. This experience made my trip. In addition, the meal my husband order was not so good. I never recommend...

I had a lovely lunch here one of the best on my trip to France. The waitress was extremely friendly and I went with her recommendation. I had scallops, cuttlefish and prawns and it was extremely fresh and delicious. The setting is great overlooking...the port. I think, judging from the other reviews, that it can be a bit hit and miss. It isn't the cheapest restaurant but none of the ones in that area are particularly cheap anyway. In terms of the Bouillabaisse, I didn't have it but this place was recommended to me as one of the cheaper places to get Bouillabaise. It also does it for one person (a lot of the other places serve it for 2 persons minimum). I went at lunchtime, and as with most p... View menu
