The site is a true architectural success. The restoration of the Strong Saint Jean in the site of Mucem and the Mediterranean Villa is registered perfectly. There is the continuity of time between the past and the future of the town of emblematic Marseille.Ce place of the Marseillais near the Cathedral of the Major and the arrival of the travellers by the ferries supports contemplation.
One crosses the MUCEM while moving towards the last stage and to borrow the footbridge above J4 Basin. One walks towards the Strong Jean.Attention Saint, the brewery is not indicated and the descriptive one leads you to the Restaurant “the Table” of the Passedat Mole.
The garden of the Migrations extends on approximately 12 hectares. This Mediterranean garden is only made up of plants of the basin of the Mediterranean.
The frame of the Strong Saint Jean is restored perfectly. This place is splendid, one can walk and benefit from the calm of this place enchanter.
On the main square, there are the School of kitchen and the Brewery of the Passedat Mole. The Chief Gérald Passédat officiates at the family restaurant 'Small Nice” at the bottom of the Basilica Notre Dame of the Guard where it obtained 3rd star of the Red Guide in 2008. In 2013, it opens the Passédat Mole on the whole of Mucem - Strong St Jean.
The opinions are very shared on the quality of the restaurant the Table.
Along the wall there are small vegetable gardens to provide fresh produce to the kitchen. One appreciates this desire for cooking fresh produce.
The terrace is well located, there is the possibility of lunching inside or on the terrace. Summer time led us to lunch with the sun.
The reception is smiling and rather quickly one can place his order. It is noticed that there is no menu nor of entry. The choice is limited to a list of dishes and a list of desserts. However, the choice suggested for the dishes makes it possible to choose either a meat or for a fish.
One decides to taste the meats and fishes. After the order, we are useful after waiting from approximately 30 mn.
On the level of the meat, the square of pig is a great success. The meat is thick and the vegetables are selected to bring to the dish a beautiful gustatory feeling.
On the other hand, the free-range chicken is not a great moment of the gastronomy.
On the level as of fishes, a chef's speciality Gérard Passédat, the fishes were well cooked. The whole sea-bream was delicious.
The shellfish plate was good but the quantity was not with go.
The plate of raw tuna was very appreciated. The marriage in mouth was very pleasant.
The desserts, as a whole pastry making is correct, the covered with meringue lemon pie was perfect.
In short, this brewery is correct, the service is well ensured and the kitchen proposes dishes cooked with fresh produce.
For the level of the rates, for the level of the dishes, it is necessary to count between 19 and 22 € and on the level of the desserts, it is necessary to count between 7 to 8 €.
An anecdote: one had settled with the tables located at the end of the terrace. One of the guests was pleased to receive droppings of gull, the owner cleaned the clothes quickly.
