Massilia

With a focus on Marseillaise cuisine, which blends French, Spanish, Italian and Moroccan ingredients and flavors, Massilia is the kind of all-day neighborhood staple restaurant that still manages to pack in a wow factor at a weekend brunch or date night dinner. Its charming plant-dotted, tile-floored space, complete with wrought iron fence around the patio is the perfect backdrop for a dinner of Moroccan couscous royal with a side of patatas bravas and ratatouille. Their excellent happy hour menu, available 4:30 to 6pm Monday to Friday, includes tapas favorites like $8 pan con tomate and $7 quiche lorraine bites.
