Dinner for two
A drink to meet, a table for two, a stroll along the harbour to end: at Le Caribou, place Thiars, dinner for two in Marseille is a whole evening, not just a meal.
For two
Your evening, at your pace
Dinner for two is first of all time given back to the two of you. At Le Caribou the evening shapes itself around you: start at the bar, sit down when you feel like it, then linger without watching the clock.
A first date still finding its feet, a long-standing couple taking a midweek break, a date that matters: every tête-à-tête has its own tempo. The team follows it, there when needed, discreet the rest of the time.
In the kitchen
Sharing each other's plate
As a couple, you taste from each other's plate. Le Caribou's home cooking lends itself to it: starters set in the middle of the table, seasonal dishes cooked on site and plated to order, a dessert you fight over with your spoons. A menu to explore together, no formality.

A tête-à-tête for every couple
There is no single way to have dinner for two. Here are three evenings we often see unfold at Le Caribou, place Thiars.
The date that matters
An anniversary, a proposal, a reunion: let us know when booking, we choose the table with you and look after the welcome.
The midweek break
No occasion needed. On a weeknight the Vieux-Port quietens down: the perfect moment for an impromptu dinner for two at the heart of Marseille.
Before and after
Start at the bar, end at the bar
Le Caribou is also a cocktail bar: open the evening with an apéritif for two, then extend it with a last drink without changing venue. For non-drinkers, the list includes alcohol-free creations made with the same care.
Service runs late, so there is no rush: dinner for two can stretch on until night falls over place Thiars.
Room or terrace
Choosing your table for two
Looking for intimacy? The cosy room, with its banquettes, woven rattan and soft light, is made for confidences. Looking for a view? The terrace opens onto the Vieux-Port, under a bioclimatic pergola.
Thanks to the pergola, the terrace stays welcoming all year round, in the sun or sheltered from the mistral and the odd shower. Just mention your preference when booking: we set the table that suits you.
