We ate at La Tête de Chou and had the best meal surrounded by locals. The house Côtes du Rhône wine turned out to be the best wine we had during our entire visit to France. Grilled octopus with a caramel sauce was out of this world.

Try Restaurant Michel, facing Catalan Beach. Specializing in seafood, especially bouillabaisse.

Vallon des Auffes is a cute area of Marseille. Allow a bit of extra time to see it. I walked to it without difficulty, but it wasn't a short walk. If your time is limited, you'll want to check the possibility of a bus or plan for a taxi.
