Le Petit Nice Passedat, established in 1917, showcases Marseille's culinary heritage through refined seafood dishes. Under Chef Gérald Passedat, the restaurant has earned a third Michelin star, highlighting its commitment to local ingredients. The ambiance is striking, located over the rocky shore with a view of the Mediterranean. During my visit, I enjoyed the eight-course 'Passedat' tasting menu featuring dishes inspired by local flavors. Chef Passedat emphasizes sustainability by sourcing seafood from local fishermen, and the restaurant is a highlight of the Vallée de la Gastronomie culinary trail.
When I arrived for lunch on a sunny autumn day, I was struck by the setting: an all-white dining room built over the rocky shoreline.
It's about a way of life that goes back to the region's roots and embraces local products," Passedat told me at the end of the lunch service.
I've worked with the local fishermen for many years," indicating his commitment to sourcing local seafood.
The restaurant is highlighted by the Vallée de la Gastronomie, a food-and-wine trail created in 2022 to promote the storied culinary heritage of three regions of France.
