Staying in Pevensey Bay and came across this lovely Mediterranean bistro type restaurant. Beautifully decorated and the food was fabulous. Best pizza I’ve had for a long time. Friendly staff also who couldn’t have been more helpful.

I live locally and I've been wanting to try Massilia Bay for a while, so yesterday after a morning on the beach we headed there for lunch. I was there with my daughter, two grandchildren and my dog.
One of my grandchildren only wanted ice cream and he got this with an extra portion of sprinkles on the side and he also gave him a taster of cranberry juice to see if he liked it before bringing a whole glassful, so we had one very happy child. They even asked if we wanted anything warmed up for the baby. A big plus in my books is that the dog was welcomed and given a bowl of water without me asking.
As for our meals, I had the plat du jour of honey glazed aubergine with homemade hummus, it was absolutely gorgeous. My daughter had the Massilia pizza, which was homemade and she said was brilliant. She also had a strawberry daquiri which she loved.
Overall we had a lovely relaxed lunch with very friendly, helpful staff. I will definitely be going back there again soon and have already recommended it to local friends.

We ordered crepes and waffles. If I knew I will get a waffle from the package just heat up I wouldn't bother, ice cream was nice waffle totally disappointing . My husband ordered crepe with Nutella, there was no gram of Nutella only a chocolate sos from the bottle . So he wasn't happy either. They are not prepared for take away as well because out crepe was packed in pizza box Service was nice and polite, food not the best because we didn't get what we paid for

I feel very privileged meeting Stefan & Greg and even luckier to have eaten at their lovely establishment.
I needed a break from London life and was very happy to spend some time in the more relaxed area of East Sussex.
Visiting Pevensey Bay, I noticed that one of the pubs I used to drink at many years ago had reopened as a restaurant - The Massilia Bay!
The smell of food coming from Massilia was delicious, I had to go in!
I met Stefan , who immediately made me feel very welcome! He warned me that there would be a slight delay if I wanted a Pizza but anything else would be fine.
No sooner had Stefan said that, when Greg quickly introduced himself and offered me a freshly prepared Duck Salad that he had accidentally made - it looked incredible and I couldn't accept fast enough!
Not only was it the best Duck I had had in over 30 years, melt in the mouth, it was also the best plate of food I'd had in a long long while!
Staff were also very attentive, making sure that I felt looked after.
After my fantastic meal, I resolved myself to eat their every night for the rest of my stay.
The next evening I had the Lamb, again melt and mouth and fantastic variety on the plate!
The following day I had the Beef rib - simply amazing!
Next, the gourmet Pizza - never had a Pizza with Pistachios - it WORKS!
Finally, I went back to the Duck - just as wonderful as it was on the first night!
Thank you Stefan, Greg and you're lovely lovely staff - you really made my holiday unforgettable - I so appreciate it!
Hopefully see you all again in October!
Thanks again.

Absolutely amazing food, wholly worth the price. Super fresh, quick and when the room was noisy they moved us as soon as possible. Friendly staff and delicious fish dishes.

On our last night of our weekend break away to Pevensey, we had dinner at the Massilia Bay. We arrived at an awkward time just before service but they were extremely welcoming and allowed to sit at a table, and before we knew it were taking our order. We didn't go abroad this year, but we felt as if we were dining somewhere in the Mediterranean. All of the food was excellent, we had the pulled lamb flatbread, pizzas, and the linguine. The kids had the spaghetti with meatballs, one of the boys even ordered snails (i think they just wanted to see them but they actually enjoyed eating!) And then lovely desserts and the kids were happy they got ice cream. A great way to finish our little holiday, thank you to all at the Massilia Bay, we will be back if we are down this way again.

A true gem in pevensey. Fine dining cuisine at local restaurant prices.
Popped in for lunch on Friday August 18th, family of 5. Upon arrival we were greated by very friendly staff and shown to our table in the back area, which is decorated to look like a courtyard underneath the stars.
We ordered the salmon caebonara which received full marks from our 15 year old, 4 cheese pizza for the 19 year old also received full marks. Duck breast with sautéed potatoes and a red wine jus which was incredible and the special between 2 which was line caught seabass with potato salad and roasted veg and was the star if the show.
Our server was able to tell us where and when our food was locally produced and caught from and it was clear they genuinely cared what they were serving to their customers.
Our bill came to £140 including 2 rounds of drunks and three deserts which was incredible value for money, especially given the standard of the food.
Highly recommended this place.

What a fabulous night we had at Massilia Bay! The choice of food was exceptional and our chosen meals were stunning! The lamb flatbread was tender and authentic. The pastas were flavoursome and delicious. Can’t recommend this friendly, welcoming restaurant enough!

Great restaurant with friendly staff. We feasted on snails and the fish platter, which was superb and plentiful, and the children enjoyed their pasta and pizza. We had fun researching the name: Massalia was a Greek colony on the site of what is now Marseille. This place was surprisingly good find in Pevensey Bay. We shall definitely be back.

Being a local restaurant just down the road from us we thought we would give it a try. We had an excellent experience created from lovely staff to delicious food. The mix dip selection provided lots of flavour, the sea cream pizza was delicious as well as well as the pulled lamb, washed down nicely with their on tap Cruzcampo larger. A brilliant dinner had by all.

A gem that the bay should protect and frequent as much as possible. Some talented passionate cooks who. Know what they are up to and try to source and support local produce. Wonderful food. Lovely people

We are so lucky that Masillia Bay is our local. We’ve been here more times than we can count and the service (especially the charming and brilliant Adriana) and food is on point every single time. Whether you fancy a cold drink out on the terrace or a delicious meal in the cosy restaurant, it’s truly such an amazing place.

The food wasn't great, although pizzas were OK. Food came out one at a time, mine was full of fat and came out 5 minutes b4 my husbands, which was cold - so he sent it back and they gave me more lamb to compensate. Pizzas came out separately approx 4 minutes apart after my husbands, so from start to finish, it took over 15 minutes for all 4 of us to get our food. Polite staff. Nice place, just service lacked.
