Brasserie Le Montmartre — Restaurant in Marseille

Normally we check out reviews beforehand to find a nice place near us, but it was running late and we decided to sit down here. The prices were okay, so it can't be that bad right?

We ordered 2 beers, I ordered the Risotto with shrimps and my girlfriend ordered the 'burger of the house'.

The risotto tasted incredibly cheesy, it tasted like what we in the Netherlands call 'rijstepap'. I think it's called 'rice pudding' in English. The shrimps were bland and tasteless.

Their excuse is we had already eaten most of the clams which is true, but for a mistake from the kitchen, you would expect them to at least replace or refund the dish. The waitress was nice, so the problem is with their management! It is a shame because otherwise the...

Avoid this restaurant. The initial service was unwelcoming, with the waiter simply dumping the menu on our table and walking off for an extended period of time. Whilst waiting for food, we watched as several other tables, that arrived after us, received their aperitifs before we did. We waited over 35 minutes for our food.

The salmon pasta lacked any seasoning, being extremely bland. Although the salmon itself tasted fresh, the sauce had little to no taste - a lot of salt was needed to bring out what little flavour there was. The bread, that was given when our food...
