Bucado — Restaurant in Marseille

Firstly, this restaurant works on the principle that you can only choose a “blind menu” of either 3/4/ or 5 dishes and the menu starts at €55 and goes up from here depending on which option you choose so you don’t know what you you are going to eat - it’s a surprise! I like this concept as I like most food and I’m not very good a choosing so this didn’t bother me but it’s good to know that you do not choose you food!

The chef was very sweet and came over to chat. We were pleased to hear that she will be taking over the restaurant in August. It seems that a new name will emerge as well, so best to keep...
