Being a port city, it makes sense that Marseille’s signature dish is the overwhelming bouillabaisse fish stew. It should be tackled at least once – as long as you like fish. Avoid cheap versions: anything under €45 (£38) counts as cheap. Other local dishes are of a similarly sustaining nature: daube, a beef stew in wine; and le grand aioli, which is warm cod flanked by a full floor show of vegetables, shellfish and, of course, garlic mayonnaise. It requires a cooled bottle of Provençal rosé – or Cassis white – to do it full justice. As France’s oldest city, Marseille also enjoys plenty of foreign influence. Look out for fine food from the Mahgreb, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and, naturally, from Italy just along the coast.
