"We sat up in the main part of the square, and had a cold drink on a hot day. Service was good, and it was a good spot to chill out. Relaxed."

We were in the Panier quarter specifically to apprise the changes and renovations being made -- these have been the principle projects of the city for the last four years. Such an exhausting expedition builds an appetite, and so we were searching for restaurants at the Place de la Major, having just exited the cathedral's cold cold vaults. We badly wanted seafood [by the quai] in the full sunlight. A young waiter deftly maneuvered us to a patio table with his enthusiastic advise and promise of our satisfaction. Le Palais de la Major is the seafood restaurant of three side-by-side restos occupying the superbly designed escarpment of the beautiful cathedral. These restaurants can accommodate diners outside or inside; and open onto a theatre for evening spectacles; all this along the quai just underneath the cathedral. Further down the quai are other eateries and boutiques. It was obvious that the restaurants benefitted from their location -- tourists and shoppers, and travelers disembarking the huge cruise liners -- as we took one of the last remaining tables.We both had the grilled salmon with toasted ravioli, preceded by a small courge soupe; and all accompanied by glasses of vin blanc. Very good, all. Not extraordinary, but pleasing under the noonday sun, with conversations floating all around and people ambling about from the church place above, and the museums and shops along the quai. The service was good and discreet [it is unusual to find such an eatery with wait staff that are not pushy]; the prices were appropriate for the meal we enjoyed [30 euros/pers].If you are seeing the museums [MUCEM, Regards de Provence, Ft St-Jean], visiting the cathedral, or browsing the boutiques, Le Palais de la Major is a good choice for your meal.
This place had everything to be a top restaurant: wonderful location and classy inside, sun and...amazing and tasty food. Unfortunately the service is simply not at an acceptable level: the staff is totally stressed and unable to manage the service. The attitude is allo unfriendly and at the limit to be rude with the client. Where is the manager ?
