A restaurant in Marseille 13001 with real character
A Vieux-Port institution, Le Caribou brings together 100% homemade seasonal cooking, a competition-level cocktail bar and a lively terrace, right in the heart of the 1st district of Marseille.
The address
The place to be on the Vieux-Port
Just steps from the quays, in the 13001, Le Caribou is one of those Marseille spots you come to for lunch and stay at for a drink. A brasserie-style room, warm banquettes and staff who know their regulars: the spirit of a true neighbourhood restaurant, on the scale of the Vieux-Port.
From noon until the small hours, the whole city passes through — Sunday families, tables of colleagues, couples and night owls out for the bar. An open house, fuss-free, true to Marseille.
In the kitchen
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.
Seasonal, every week
The menu shifts with the market: vegetables, fish and meat chosen as close as possible.
The homemade touch
Sauces, plating and à-la-minute cooking — nothing outsourced, everything on the plate.
Generous and made to share
Plates designed for the table, to pick at or savour facing the sea.
After the plate
A cocktail bar built to compete
When the kitchen hands over, the counter takes the lead. Signature creations, revisited classics and seasonal colours: Le Caribou's bar is one of the most alive cocktail addresses on the Vieux-Port.
It is an easy place to linger after dinner, drink in hand, while place Thiars comes alive. The bar stays open well after the kitchen, to keep the evening going in the heart of the 13001.
Outside
The terrace, at the heart of the city
Under the pergola, Le Caribou's terrace is an invitation to slow down. Sit in the sun for a lunch that stretches on, and come back in the evening for the atmosphere and the harbour lights.
Place Thiars, a stone's throw from the Canebière and the quai de Rive Neuve, is one of the finest spots to take the pulse of Marseille, drink in hand.
