The business lunch in Marseille
Hosting a client, sealing a partnership, gathering your team over lunch: Le Caribou makes the business lunch a safe bet. A brisk service, homemade cuisine and quiet tables, steps from the Vieux-Port offices.
Why Le Caribou
A setting that puts your meetings at ease
A good business lunch comes down to a few things: a table where you can hear yourself talk, a service that does not leave you chasing the bill, and cuisine polished enough to impress without overdoing it. At Le Caribou, on place Thiars, all three come together in the heart of the Vieux-Port.
The dining room, with its woven rattan banquettes and soft light, keeps the noise level in check: you can negotiate, walk through a proposal or simply get acquainted without raising your voice. The address is ideal to host a visiting partner as much as to meet your team.
The lunch service
A midday tuned for working
Time is short at lunch: our midday service is built to fit within a business break. The kitchen plates up quickly and well, never at the expense of homemade cooking, so you leave on time — mind clear.
