A restaurant near the Canebière
Steps from the Canebière, Marseille's legendary avenue, Le Caribou welcomes you on place Thiars, on the Vieux-Port: 100% homemade seasonal cooking, a competition-level cocktail bar and a lively terrace, at the beating heart of the city.
The address
A stone's throw from the Canebière
Walk the Canebière down to the harbour: at the end of the avenue, place Thiars opens up and Le Caribou is waiting. Come for lunch after a stroll through the city centre, and stay for a drink when the terraces light up. It is the spirit of a true neighbourhood restaurant, on the scale of the Vieux-Port.
A brasserie-style room, warm banquettes and staff who know their regulars: the house is open from noon into the small hours, true to the lively, popular Marseille of the Canebière.

Cooking that is 100% homemade
It all starts with fresh produce worked on site, in tune with the seasons. The chef and his team sign a generous menu where homemade is not a slogan but a given — the table you want after a walk along the Canebière.
