Fodor's Expert Review Le Petit Nice Passedat
17 rue des Braves, Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, 13007, France
On a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, this fantasy villa was bought from a countess in 1917 and converted to a sleek hotel-restaurant, where the Passédat family has been getting it right ever since, especially in the famous restaurant. Father and son man Provence's only three-Michelin-star kitchen (one of the coast's best), creating sea-anemone beignets, fresh fish roasted whole, and an entire €170 menu dedicated to Bouille Abaisse. Most rooms are minimalist, with some art deco–cum–postmodern touches, while outside the gorgeous heated pool is illuminated at night by antique gaslight fixtures.
PROS
- home to Provence's only three-Michelin-star restaurant
- breathtaking views
- lovely pool area
CONS
- leave your impatience at the door when you dine here
- restaurant closed Sunday and Monday
- not so easily accessible to city center by public transport
