The story
Chef Alexandre Mazzia draws inspiration from Aristotle’s treatise on the soul, which posits that man comes alive through the discovery of the five senses, knowledge, and passion. This philosophy is the foundation of AM, his restaurant in Marseille’s 8th arrondissement. For Mazzia, this is not simply a place he chose to settle, but a territory to which he belongs—and where he welcomes guests to share his “AM.”
The chef’s cooking is an expression of his personal history and the landscape of southern France. Every plate reflects a deep connection to the Mediterranean, though Mazzia’s approach transcends regional boundaries. The result is a singular, sensory experience that has earned the restaurant the highest distinction: three Michelin stars, a recognition of exceptional cuisine that aligns perfectly with the chef’s pursuit of passion and knowledge through food.
Open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, AM offers an atmosphere that balances sophistication with warmth. The dining room and outdoor seating provide a backdrop for a meal that is both personal and profound. With an interesting wine list and the option for private parties, the restaurant caters to those seeking an unforgettable encounter with one of France’s most celebrated chefs.
