A restaurant in Marseille open right now
Just past noon, mid-afternoon or well into the evening: at Le Caribou, the kitchen runs non-stop, seven days a week, and the bar takes over in the evening. On place Thiars, there is almost always a table waiting for you.
No need to check the clock
An open table, at any time of day
Looking for a restaurant open now in Marseille often means finding kitchens that close between services. Le Caribou does the opposite: non-stop service from lunch to dinner, with no afternoon break, Sundays included.
Steps from the quays, the brasserie-style room — banquettes, woven rattan chairs, soft light — welcomes you for a late lunch just as well as for an impromptu dinner. An open house, fuss-free, true to the spirit of the Vieux-Port.
In the kitchen
The brigade on duty, from lunch to dinner
Open does not mean “minimum service”. Throughout non-stop service, the kitchen sends out the same 100% homemade, seasonal cooking: sauces, cooked-to-order dishes and careful plating, whether you arrive at noon sharp or mid-afternoon.
Throughout the day
Whatever the time, there is a moment for you
Le Caribou does not close its doors between services: the same address simply changes tempo as the hours go by. Find yours.
Afternoon
Non-stop service
Late lunch or a mid-afternoon craving: the kitchen never stops, and you are served just as in the heart of service.

The late-night bar
Whatever the weather
A covered terrace, open all year round
Under its bioclimatic pergola, Le Caribou’s terrace stays open whether the sun is blazing or the mistral picks up. Air-conditioned and sheltered, it lets you sit outside in every season, on place Thiars.
No need to check the forecast before coming: inside or out, the table is ready, with the Vieux-Port as a backdrop.
After dinner
The evening goes on at the counter
When the kitchen closes, Le Caribou stays open. The cocktail bar — ranked 41st best cocktail bar in France at the French Bar Awards 2025 — carries the evening on.
Seasonal creations, revisited classics and mocktails made with the same care: enough to end the evening in the heart of the Vieux-Port, without changing address.
