Fodor's Expert Review Marseille

With great food and a convenient location near several Broadway theaters, this brasserie is perpetually packed. The French creations are always impressive, including the bouillabaisse, the signature dish of the region for which the restaurant is named—a mélange of mussels, shrimp, and whitefish in a fragrant broth. Leave room for the fresh-baked desserts and farmhouse cheeses. Pre- and posttheater dining works well here, and weekends bring great brunch specials.
