Ruth, thank you for acknowledging the wider world and for the notes from Marseille. We were there this summer and can't wait to go back. In addition to the vibe of the place and the food, we LOVED Maison Empereur (www.empereur.fr/en/, the almost 200-year-old kitchen and hardware store. Also not to be missed.

Thanks Tom. Totally agree on Maison Empereur. Spent HOURS there. The oldest hardware store in France, and filled with things you can't find anywhere else. Definitely not to be missed!

What a treat to see Hugues Mbenda pop up here. I met him and his wife Mathilde last year at Libala, their small casual place in the 6th. They'd mentioned that they were opening a larger space and I'm guessing Kin is it. I still think about the meal I had with them, often. A good excuse to get back to Marseille.

Bonjour, thank you for sharing your visit to Marseille. A couple of months ago, I picked up a copy of Verane Frediani's "Marseille cuisine le mode" and was pleased to see La Mercerie featured. We had dined there last Fall and had a wonderful meal. It was our first visit to Marseille and we enjoyed it immensely.

Thank you for writing about the Mill Recycling System. I'd been wondering if it was legitimate or a fraud for a while now, and am delighted to see it's legit...if too big for my tiny one-bedroom apartment.
