La Relève 

La Relève Bar is an institution in the Saint-Victor neighborhood. As they say, a true local gem! Without overdoing it, this small neighborhood bistro modestly offers 2 starters, 3 main courses, and a few desserts on the menu each day. All homemade. Far from being the fanciest or most modern, this bistro promises authenticity. Generosity and frankness are the norm here. If you want to consume locally, speak Marseille dialect, and enjoy Provencal wine, this is the perfect place.

Pastis & Olives 

With its much larger dining room than it appears at first glance, Pastis & Olives offers an ideal gourmet meeting point in the city center. Its terrace may not be its greatest asset, but it has the merit of existing for those who want to stay outside for lunch.
Beef carpaccio, Veal Rossini, truffle croque, duck breast or even homemade cordon bleu, it must be admitted, this is an address where generosity goes hand in hand with meat dishes. That being said, unless you are vegan, the positioning of this establishment and its menu have everything to please you.

Pastis & Olives 27 rue Sainte - Marseille 1st Open Monday to Saturday From 12pm to 2:30pm & from 7:30pm to 11pm Reservations at 0491540827 More info

Le Fioupelan

Le Fioupelan is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants on Quai du Port. Modern, with a hint of the kitsch you expect from a seaside restaurant, Fioupelan offers tasty, affordable, and friendly cuisine. At lunchtime, the sunny terrace attracts regular customers, while in the evening, a more diverse crowd gathers to share a love for good food and drinks. This is definitely an address not to be missed!
