Paulette - Restaurant Vieux Port — Restaurant in Marseille

Pleasently surprised with food and amazing staff. Great view , HUGO was exceptional. Our son is a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic at age 12, and this was his first trip out of the country from uk,after his school refused to take him on his planned school trip in view of his newly diagnosed condition ( they had 2 weeks ). Hugo , was understanding and also put him at ease and talked to him about the nutritional values of the menu ,hugo went a step further ,he weighed the food my son ordered and our son was able to inject the right amount of insulin based on the exact carb portions. Our son enjoyed the food and was made to feel normal and comfortable in a restaurant in France ! Hugo ,always having a broad smile on his face,looked after us well. The food tasted great seeing our son smile through out the meal. We went back again the next day .Hugo was the same and we enjoyed the food . The experience at paullete, has made our son confident to be able to travel out and be comfortable in asking nutritional values to restaurant staff outside UK ( and in french ! ) without...

Horrible expirience asked for a Pint and a mojito the waiter says doesnt have mint leaves then I asked for a daiquiri and asked for Calamari Pasta with no cheese. Came a small beer after 15m and the food took 35m to serve, was served with cheese and when i started removing the cheese from the plate the waitress came to ask if everything was 0k with bad face I explained the situation and of course she offered to change and I refused because I am not going to wait another half an hour for a past in which came big bowl of pasta with only 5 pieces of calamari....I asked about my daiquiri and she tells me they dont do cocktails. For a touristic place having a waiter that speaks 0 english is unacceptable plus having a cocktail menu if they dont do cocktails..... When I went to pay the I showed the visa and he says its 0k and when I went to pay the barkeeper told me the machine doesnt accept this visa card.... I aswell work as a waiter and never in my life gave or recieved this kind of expirience......

(-) Ordered a bouillabaisse and a veggie burger. I pretty much enjoyed eating the bouillabaisse (35€?) for the first time in my life, but I could say that it wouldn't be the best that you can get around the city. It was a little blend, didn't have a strong flavor for the seafood inside.

The veggie burger (18€?) was not that good. The plate wasn't small, and it was enough to make 3 people full (with the bouillabaisse), but the taste was just normal.. I would pay 9€ for it.

We also took a dessert (9€). They showed us how each desert looks like. (It made us drool even if we were full, good tactic 👍) We took a dessert that looked like a thick chocolate cylinder, with cream on the top. Again, it wasn't bad, but I'd pay top 4€ for it. It merely tasted like Magnum ice cream with cream and chocolate mousse in the middle.

(+) Good thing is that they served two kinds of breads (one was like a baguette, one was like...
