​​🇫🇷 My 22-Year-Old Self Ate Marseille Into Oblivion! 🍽️✨​​

As a German exchange student, arriving in Marseille felt like ​​a mouse stumbling into a cheese factory​​—overwhelming deliciousness everywhere! After years of surviving German canteens, I ate so much I nearly turned into a ​​"food giant"​​ . ​​🍽️ 3 Restaurants That Stole My Heart (and Stomach)​​ ​​1️⃣ Coquille - Bistrot Marin (Old Port)​​ 🦪 ​​Star Dish​​: Mussels in cream sauce (€19) — ​​Silky, garlicky, buttery​​ heaven with crispy fries. ​​Hidden Gem​​: Monkfish with sweet potato mash — Sounds weird, tastes magical. ​​Dessert​​: Chocolate lava cake with ice cream (⚠️ Share it—it’s huge!). ​​2️⃣ Le Caribou Marseille (Across the Street)​​ 🐙 ​​Must-Order​​: Grilled octopus with ​​cilantro, scallions, lemon​​ — Tastes like home (if home is a Chinese seafood stall!). ​​Skip​​: The eggplant-cheese plate (unless you love unmarried veggies and dairy 🍆🧀). ​​3️⃣ Longchamp Palace (Near Palais Longchamp)​​ 🍣 ​​Surprise Hit​​: Japanese-French fusion! Seared tuna with wasabi + runny egg 🥚 Melon gazpacho with bacon + cream (💥 summer in a bowl!) ​​Drama​​: Menu’s only in French—thank God for ChatGPT translations! ​​😭 Why Marseille Wins​​ ​​No tourist traps​​: Just locals, sea breezes, and affordable feasts (€25-30/person!). ​​Post-meal vibes​​: Stroll along Vieux-Port with ice cream 🍦 or pastis 🥃. ​​#MarseilleFoodRampage #GermanInFrance​
