Dish of the day
The dish that follows the market — French meat, fish or vegetables, cooked just right.

Vieux-Port · place Thiars · Marseille
At Le Caribou, no questions asked! A Vieux-Port institution with 100% homemade seasonal cooking and a competition-level cocktail bar!


A homemade-cooking table on one side, a competition cocktail bar on the other — no hierarchy, no favourite. You choose where to start.



100% homemade, seasonal cooking — from the bread to the sauces: here, the menu follows the market and every plate tastes like the South.
Fish from the day's catch, French meats on the grill and, every day, a vegetarian option made with the same care. Vegetables come from the market, picked from an organic supplier; the bread, the sauces and the desserts are all born here, in the kitchen. Nothing comes out of a box — everything comes out of the house.

One colour, one mood, one cocktail.
For summer 2026, Le Caribou signs a cocktail menu inspired by Colors, the Berlin music performance platform. Bold, vibrant, sun-drenched creations composed like portraits in colour. Every glass has its tone, its rhythm, its mood — with fruit, freshness, intensity, and one simple promise from Benjamin, Gab & Charles: capturing the Marseille summer in a cocktail.

A Marseille institution on place Thiars, steps from the Vieux-Port quays. Its blond-wood, Canadian-chalet façade and vintage lettering watch over the neighbourhood. Inside, the Caribou stands guard.
People come here to eat well, drink well and above all have a good time — a bit like home, really. Service runs non-stop from noon until late, seven days a week.




"The region's biggest back bar"
In summer, everyone settles on the striped banquettes, in the shade of our covered, air-conditioned terrace. And because you quickly feel at home here: dogs are welcome.
