Marseille, France: Peron – A Mediterranean Seaside Restaurant

Hop on bus 83 for a scenic coastal ride along the Mediterranean—trust me, the views alone are worth it 🌊. Peron sits solo on a rocky stretch by the sea, a standalone gem with unbeatable ocean vistas. Pro tip: Book ahead—it’s popular for good reason. Complimentary Appetizer Every guest gets this little treat: a zesty mix of lemon cream and tangy accents, bright and refreshing. The perfect palate opener—light, citrusy, and just enough to make you crave more 😋. Starter – Stuffed Squid Stuffed with spicy beef sausage and spinach, this dish was a delightful surprise. The squid itself was tender, and the sauce? A sweet-sour blend with subtle Asian vibes (think hints of ginger or soy, but elevated). It’s bold, flavorful, and totally memorable 👏. Mains Beef: Served with artichokes, potatoes, and beetroot… full disclosure, I’m not a beetroot fan. But the veggies came with a tart, fruity dip that added a fun twist! The hollow decorative piece? Dried (baked cheese), which brought a rich, milky note. Solid, but not mind-blowing.😁 Scallops: Chef’s kiss. Seared to perfection—crisp on the edges, silky and sweet inside. Served with stuffed eggplant, it’s a smaller portion but packs a punch. Freshness you can taste 🍳. Dessert We went for the first option on the menu, and wow—layers upon layers of deliciousness. The top layer is mango-forward, bright and juicy. Crack it gently, then dig in with a fork to mix all the flavors in one bite: creamy, fruity, and just a touch of sweetness. Pure joy 🍰. Bonus: The restaurant bakes fresh baguette chunks—crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside. Ask for extra; you won’t regret it 🥖. For Visitors Glance out the windows, and you’ll spot Château d’If—the island made famous in The Count of Monte Cristo 📚. After your meal, hop back on bus 83 to hit the beaches—every stop along the way offers postcard-perfect views of the clear, blue Mediterranean.😂 Peron isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience—good food, great company, and a front-row seat to the sea’s beauty.😁 #Marseille #DateNightSpots #HiddenGemRestaurants #SeasideDining #TravelDiaries #OffTheBeatenPath #SouthernFrance #MediterraneanViews #BlueSeas
