My family and I happened to be in Marseille at the same time as a family friend, so we met at Le Cirque for a nice dinner evening. I'll start by calling out that yes, dinner here is an evening all to itself and you will spend a few hours here. In my opinion, though, that's the best way to do Mediterranean dining.The wait staff were incredible, and they went out of their way to adapt and accommodate our needs, which was especially important considering we were travelling with an almost 2-year-old.The food is excellent. I had the crab salad to start. The crab itself was great, but I found the greenery to be very bitter. I think that's the trend in southern France at the moment, though. I followed that with the lobster pasta, which had a whole lobster in it. Again, excellent. For dessert I had the Rum Baba. The baba itself was a touch on the dry side, but excellent flavour. The fruit it comes with was amazingly fresh and incredibly juicy. The raspberries in particular were amazing.My one caution is that the portion sizes are massive. For my lobster pasta I ended up taking half of the pasta home. I, likewise, could only get through about half of the Rum Baba and the fruit before giving up. If you take a proper evening here, either come hungry or expect to take stuff home.
