Set course for Marseille, where the culinary scene comes alive under the summer sun. From the Goudes to the Old Port, the city abounds with addresses as authentic as they are creative. Here are five restaurants that combine local produce, strong personality and visual experience. A gastronomic summer to match the landscape.

Poissonnerie Kennedy: the marine counter gets a makeover

A discreet but popular seaside spot, Poissonnerie Kennedy combines a local fish stall with a small tasting counter. Here, you can enjoy ultra-fresh crudos, grilled fish and seafood, accompanied by well-chosen vintages. Currently reinventing itself, the address reopens on June 20 with a new decor and salty promises. An ideal spot for an aperitif or lunch, with your eyes on the sea.

📆 Reopening June 20, 2025 | Seafood & crudos

Tuba: a brutally stylish version of the Mediterranean

Just a stone’s throw from the port of Les Goudes, Tuba combines a breathtaking view of the calanques, bold decor by Marion Mailaender, and inspired cuisine. In the former diving school, chef Sylvain Roucayrol serves crispy calamari, a Greek salad, barbecued smoked bass and pastis puffs. A timeless place, between chic cabana and rough postcard.

Coquille: the marine bistro without false notes

Just a stone’s throw from the Old Port, Coquille charms with its azure terrace and simple, well-executed menu. On the menu: seafood, grilled fish, fish & chips, as well as half-anchovy, half-cheese pizzas and generous moules-frites. All washed down with Porquerolles wine. For dessert? Homemade profiteroles, well worth the detour.
