An experience in marseille! the schilling presents a simple and supposed menu with beautiful and good products, I highly recommend it.
I stumbled upon Schilling quite by accident, having failed to get in without a lunch reservation at my first choice. This was the best TripAdvisor rated restaurant nearby, and I'm so glad this happened. The restaurant, as others have mentioned, is small-ish holds persons total, with one cook and one server at lunch time. The lunch menu on a Saturday was just choices for starters and choices for main course. I opted only for the main course (although Monday through Friday they offer course and course special deals). At my request for white wine by the glass, the host opened and poured me a glass from a very nice bottle of Sancerre from the French Loire Region, very fairly priced. One can't really go wrong from any fish entree in Marseille the fish market itself is just down the street! I opted for a pan fried red mullet, which was cooked well on the outside but rare on the inside. It was delightful, especially when mixed with veal tartare, chopped very fine. Accompanying the protein were four outstanding deep fried, thin yellow raviolis filled with pumpkin. Outstanding! By the end, although the portion didn't look huge, it was more than satisfying. A quick espresso, very tasty to finish the meal. For a Michelin rated restaurant (I soon discovered by looking at the window stickers), this was an extremely high value meal.
We found this restaurant via the Michelin guide and it was easy to make an online reservation. We were there for lunch on a weekday and it was rather quiet, perhaps tables including ours. Although the menu isn't extensive, about each for starters,...mains and desserts, the food was really good. The focus is on seafood. There s a good selection of wines. If you want to try some good innovative food, I would definitely recommend this place. It is slightly off the touristy part of the town but easy walk from the old port area.
Rated as one of the best for fish and seafood this small and off the beaten track deserves it's reputation. The menu is small, reflecting that there's just one person in the kitchen, but there's no mistaking the freshness of the ingredients, the quality and...care that goes in the preparation and presentation of the dishes. Dining outside street-side is fine and not noisy though perhaps lacking in views it's still pleasant to be eating outside. The wine list is a bit pricey but then aren't they all these days! Highly recommend this place for very original and non traditional fishy fare.
