Ciel sits high above Marseille, a rooftop surprise in the middle of the city. At the top of the highest building, the view opens wide—over the rooftops, toward the Old Port, and across to Notre-Dame de la Garde watching over it all.
We went last evening with our friend Philippe, who kindly invited us, and it turned into one of those memorable dinners- We began with a truffle pizza—so generous, so full of flavor, the kind you keep reaching for even when you say you’re full. In truth, everything that came to the table was delicious, simple in the best way.
Dessert was a deconstructed forêt noire, light and rich at once, and just as lovely as everything before it.
Ciel feels easy. A place where you could come for a long lunch in the sun, or early evening with a drink in hand, a few antipasti, watching the light change over the city. If you’re looking for somewhere to sit above it all, to share a meal and take in the view this is it.
