Chez Marius - Gémenos

Has a beautiful terrace, but really busy too day. the service was very slow that we had to fly a waitress, just to transfer our drinks. eating was okay, but not exceptional. it's not somewhere I'd hurry.

Here recommended for lunch on the basis of our local host. nice sitting area in free. very friendly staff. great local restaurant. Note, there is no English menu (what is good). only point out it for reference.) eating was representative for the local environment and delicious. a...big place to eat.

Had a lovely meal with my wife. Friendly staff and great outside eating space. Not too crowded as the staff spread out other customer. Both had a pizza which is reasonable price, we had a little one and was very much worth it so don't...know how big the larger one would have been. To end lovely place for food in the sun with nice friendly staff. Thank you

Ate here on a Saturday night in June. Pleasant spacious terrace and they didn't sit you too close to other people so it was nice and peaceful. Had pizza each and they were surprisingly good, really tasty. Bill for 2 pizzas side salad and chips...and two drinks came to £40. Not the cheapest but not too expensive either. Other diners seemed very pleased with their food and there were plenty of waiters so you didn't need to wait long for anything.

My husband and I visited the Gemenos Provence, France area for the third time in August of 2013. Chez Marius was recommended by the owner of the hotel where we were staying. My husband speaks French, however, he is not a native speaker and therefore...not completely fluent. Neither one of us was completely sure of what was being offered on the menu. It took us a while to make a decision, even making some changes. Once we completed the order the waiter sarcastically pretended that he was whipping his brow and also flubbed his lips to indicate that getting the final order out of us was so difficult that he suffered during the process. I should have known then and there that this waiter was extremely arrogant. We started with baked, stuffed large mussels that were very delicious. Not knowing that our entrees included small salads on the plate, I ordered a salad as an appetizer. It was large and very tasty. But had the waiter properly advised me, I would have skipped this item. My husband's duck was too rare and he had to send it back to be cooked a little longer. Apparently all French people eat rare duck as the question of how he wanted it prepared never came up. While this was happening our waiter was waiting on a table with approximately 15 guests and the restaurant was becoming busier rapidly. Generally speaking, the French enjoy leisurely,slow dining so waiting a long time between courses is not unusual. After having dessert (ice cream which took another wait person 20 minutes to deliver after it was ordered) we signaled our original waiter don't know his name but he wore many silver rings for the check. He then LITERALLY saluted us as if to indicate we were so demanding that we had to be saluted which we are not. While the restaurant has a lovely outdoor seating area and pretty tasty food, it obviously does not value to business of English speaking people and they are not made to feel comfortable or welcome in any way. This waiter's extremely rude behavior put a damper on our visit to Chez Marius. Based on this experience I cannot recommend this restaurant and would go so far as to say, English speakers beware!
