This legendary pizzeria is hailed as an integral part of the city's identity. From its humble beginnings as a worker's canteen, the enigmatic Etienne Cassaro transformed it into a beloved institution. Today, led by Etienne's son Pascal, the restaurant continues to serve home-style cooking in a convivial setting, attracting regulars, tourists, and even politicians who happily embrace the messy joy of their famous pizzas.

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.

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.

This cultural heritage site was initially constructed with the intention of it becoming a hospital and shelter for the poor in the 17th century. Presently it serves as a multidisciplinary center, and is home to museums, exhibitions, workshops, etc. Its stunning architecture is enough of a reason to visit!
