"If you like fish, seafood, soup, and garlic.... do try this amazing south of France's recipe called "La Bouillabaisse". This place is pretty typical, keeping all the secrets of the area. Straight beside the sea, you will appreciate this dish as I do every time i go back to France."

"Want to eat bouillabaisse? Look no further. We've come here for 10 years and have never been disappointed. Lovely presentation on a cork plate. Friendly and competent service, who at request will also help to remove the bones and describe the fish."

"We were greeted by several of the staff as we arrived which made us feel very welcome. We came for the 'soupe des poissons' which we enjoyed here a few years ago. Rich and brown, it's served the provencal way with cloves of garlic, croutons, rouilles and grated cheese. The tureen for two was huge and the quality as we remembered. This serves as the base for the bouillabaise - which is available without ordering in advance, but is pricey at 54 euro per person (minimum 2). The grilled dorade off the 34 euro menu filled us up to the extent we barely had room for the dessert of tarte tatin, or creme brulee etc. A feast to remember!"

"This was the best Bouillabaisse I have ever had. It was not just a meal; it was a delectable Provençal ritual in food that needs to be respected and cherished. Prepared and overseen by fantastic artists from sea to table. This must be somewhere near the pinnacle of food with its humble beginnings as a fisherman’s soup made from what was available to this majestic feast that cannot be improved and Restaurant le Pothuau is the basilica. Give them 24 hrs to create it."
