15/08/2026: First time in Marseille, we chose the restaurant on a whim, and we weren't disappointed at all. The owner gave us a warm welcome, the decor was lovely, the service was top-notch, attentive from beginning to end, and the food was simply wow. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

14/08/2026: My wife and I had a remarkable dinner at Le Relais 50 on a recent weekend getaway trip to Marseille. We each opted for the 4-course menu (one seafood, one lamb), with wine pairings, but with amuse bouche, palate cleanser, and extra sweet treats, it was really like 7 courses. The food was creative as well as delicious. The small bread balls made from yesterday's bread scraps and seasoned with Ras el Hanout were fantastic, as was the chef's take on shakshuka. (Most of the shakshuka I've had is more rustic, heavy on red peppers, and with whole eggs. His refined, green pepper-centric version with an egg yolk was sublime. As many reviews have noted, we saw a lot of the chef, who introduced every course tableside. His skill and passion comes through, adding to the feeling of hospitality. (We also learned of his Instagram feed and now follow him there.) Unfortunately we picked an extremely hot weekend to go so sitting on the terrace was not as comfortable as it could be (and the street noise was more than I expected). However, we still had an incredible dining experience and are sure to return on our next visit to the city.
