Eat and Drink in Marseille
The friendly atmosphere is the main flavour of meals here in Marseille where the typical daily fare includes olive oil and garlic. At the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Marseille is no stranger to foreign cuisine and has even adopted some recipes as its own. The result? Spicy dishes with a sunny touch, not to mention fish, shellfish and other seafood delicacies that make up the local fare.
The choice of restaurants ranges from traditional french cuisine to international cuisine and from bistros to gourmet restaurants. Whether at the foot of Notre-Dame de la Garde, at the old port, with a sea view or in a historical place, you will inevitably find a restaurant that suits your needs.
