Last night on a recommendation from friends we ate at the Relais 50 in Marseille's Vieux Port. Don't be put of by the short menu as the food is excellent and the service is very friendly but at the same time professional. Fortunately I had booked several days beforehand as the restaurant is quite small and popular, so is often full.
Noël Baudrand is the chef. He is from Marseille and is certainly creative.
Very definitely recommended.

2014 Château Roubine Cru Classé, Côtes de Provence

Even though there was a white Sancerre from Vincent Delaporte on the wine list we decided to drink local and chose this soft 2014 Côtes de Provence red from Château Roubine.
