Lunch & dinner
The right moment to book
Lunch facing the harbour, a dinner that lingers, cocktail apéro on the terrace: each service has its own mood. At weekends and in fine weather the terrace tables go fast — booking a few days ahead means the view is yours and the apéro starts without a wait.
The terrace
A lunch right on the harbour
Under the pergola of place Thiars, Le Caribou's terrace is the best vantage point over the Vieux-Port. Sit down for lunch or apéro, sheltered from the sun, and watch Marseille go by.
A stone's throw from the Canebière, the cours d'Estienne d'Orves and the quai de Rive Neuve, it is one of the finest views in the city — and one of the most sought-after tables as soon as the sun is out.
At your table
Seasonal cooking straight from the market
Once your table is booked, the plate takes over: fresh produce, seasonal cooking and Marseille generosity, from a dish to share to a fine burrata and tomato salad.
Our team welcomes you without fuss, guides you through the menu and lets you take your time. That welcome, true to the spirit of the harbour, is what brings the regulars back service after service.
