About Chez Michel
No-frills bouillabaisse specialist on the Corniche with a loyal local following and Bouillabaisse Charter certification. The focus is entirely on the fish, sourced daily from the Criée fish market. Minimal decoration, maximum flavor, and prices slightly lower than the touristy Vieux-Port locations.
Insider Tips
Call exactly 24 hours before your reservation to order bouillabaisse, not earlier and not later, as they buy fish the morning of service.
