Placette is exactly what a neighbourhood bistro should be. The kitchen focuses on simple but inventive homemade dishes that change weekly based on what’s good at the market. Try the mackerel salad with gravlax or whatever daily special they’re running. The terrace catches the afternoon sun, the natural wine selection is solid, and the atmosphere stays relaxed without being scruffy. Perfect for refuelling before the afternoon’s cultural highlight.

For your fix of gourmet sandwiches, we can't recommend Crabe-Toro enough. Ranging from ingredients that are caught fresh from the sea, or local and seasonal Marseille products, we can guarantee every bite is as satisfying as the next!

We love a good bookstore to spend ages browsing spines, but it's even more satisfying when it's a dedicated art space too. Ensemble is a creation by the independent publishing house Loose Joints, creating a space for creativity to flourish.

We love this lowkey yet very charming wine bar. Led by Fred Coachon and Laetitia Pantallaci, Les Buvards is a pioneer of natural wine, complemented by Fred's wine expertise. Had a glass too many, and need something to soak up the wine? The slow-cooked dishes here are definitely unlike anything you can find in other wine bars.
