La Nena

Brand new and beautiful, the tapas bar La Nena has been lighting up the Notre-Dame-du-Mont neighborhood for a while now. With a few neatly arranged tables, the two owners, as bubbly as the Asturian cider they offer, serve up typically Spanish tapas in this cozy spot (which magically expands to fit everyone as night falls). The menu features classics like patatas bravas, pan con tomate, and other must-haves for long Spanish evenings. To wash it all down, there’s white, red, and rosé wine, as well as sweet wine, vermouth, and exceptional cider!

Place des Canailles

Feeling like having some chill tapas in a place that really captures the southern vibe? Head over to La Place des Canailles, the friendliest spot in the Docks in Marseille. With its large terrace, fairy lights, a lively urban café atmosphere, and delicious shareable plates, it’s the perfect place to sip a drink and catch up with friends. Special mention goes to the trilogy of smash burgers and the croq'truffé that everyone raves about. It's a true haven for food lovers where the party never really stops!


Address: Les Docks Village 10.4, 10 Pl. de la Joliette, 13002 Marseille, France

La Caravelle 

La Caravelle is open non-stop from 7 AM to 9 AM, perfect for quality moments under a shady terrace. The terrace of La Caravelle sits majestically under the Bonne Mère, while being just a stone’s throw from the Old Port, without the hassle of traffic. In this relatively idyllic spot, you can enjoy cocktails, savor tapas or Mediterranean specialties, and listen to jazz. What more could you ask for?

Le Béné Bar

Staying hydrated in the evening is super important, but when the only snacks are old peanuts, it really takes the fun out of happy hour! At Bébé Bar, we take our sharing platters and the tapas served with your Caïpi very seriously!
With three floors of different vibes but the same menu of cocktails and tapas both upstairs and downstairs, there’s something for everyone. From the balcony on the second floor to the ideally situated terrace overlooking the Old Port of La Ciotat, you’ll be served AOP artisanal charcuterie and cheeses, including a roast camembert that’s to die for, homemade hummus, tapenade, and tzatziki, plus vegetable tartines from the sun... In short, it's all the best flavors from here and beyond!

La Tasca

Viaghji di Fonfon

Facing the beauty of the Vallon des Auffes and its stunning sunset, at Viagji di Fonfon (we can never quite figure out how to pronounce it either!) you can savor delicious little pizzas, drool-worthy panisses, and a creamy burrata to share (or not!) with a view of the charming little Marseille port. The Vallon aperitif is somewhat of an institution, a spot that's not very secret but still incredibly special. Shall we meet there?

Le Baletti 

On the Old Port of Marseille, the bars are lined up, and it’s tough to pick one! When it comes to tapas (and the atmosphere), we naturally lean towards Le Baletti, which is also a staple in Marseille. At Le Baletti, you know when it starts, but never when it ends! This spot by the water offers a great atmosphere and (very) tasty tapas. On the menu: panisses, chicken fingers, salmon toasts... not to mention the wide variety of drinks available!

Le Poulpe Saint-Victor 

The Saint-Victor neighborhood is like our own little Saint-Tropez, stylish but not stuffy! And right in the heart of this area, you'll find some must-visit spots like Le Poulpe Saint-Victor. Overlooking the Old Port, you can enjoy the most beautiful sunsets in Marseille, all while savoring delicious bites and often holding a nice cold beer in hand.

The Terrace of the Cave à Jambon

In the heart of the 8th arrondissement, hidden away in the Sainte-Anne neighborhood, the Terrace of the Cave à Jambon delights food lovers with its delicious homemade tapas. On the menu, you'll find marinated octopus, charcuterie (oh yes!), tortilla, Paella (with rice) or Fideua (with pasta), delicious specialties featuring sardines, and many more!
