Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Selling navettes since 1781! I'm going to take back my words in the previous entry. I overlooked a set of pictures on one of the culinary specialties in Marseille: navette , a hard, dry biscuit in the shape of a vessel.

Dreaming of another bite of raspberry chocolate cake :P This entry features another quick meal that I had in Marseille. However, while most of my friends ordered sandwiches, I tried to diverge from the majority and instead ordered the two following items for lunch.

Yummylicious garlic mussels! Alright, it's time to review a proper meal I had in Marseille. There are simply too many eateries in Vieux Port, and that day we were quite confused which restaurant should we go to. In the end we chose Chez Laura, and one of the reasons was that the waitress outside could actually respond to us in English haha... Anyway, the restaurant offers a value-for-money  Set Meal  priced at  €15.00 ( ~S$26.30 ) which includes appetiser, main course and dessert. Hmm, since all of us ordered different dishes, I'll just select a few and write about them here.

Fries inside your sandwich =O Back to quick meal :P Since I only had a few hours to spend in Frioul Island, which is located approximately 4 km from Marseille, I had no choice but to grab a sandwich for lunch so that I had enough time to walk around.

Extra cheesy gnocchi! I shall continue with another restaurant I found in Marseille. The other day we were pretty indecisive as to what we'd like to eat for dinner. After walking around for almost half an hour, we decided to give Chez Mario a try. From the outside, I seemed like the restaurant had a very romantic ambience with its dim lights.

Fresh suppions of the port city! On one of the days in Marseille, my friends and I dined at a restaurant near our hostel. It was indeed the first time the word suppions  passed through my ears. Apparently it's a type of edible cuttlefish which is small in size as you can see in the photo below.
