A restaurant open on Sunday in Marseille
At Le Caribou, Sunday deserves its own table. On the Vieux-Port, place Thiars, we welcome you for lunch and for dinner: generous cooking, a sunny terrace and the art of making the meal last while the rest of the city slows down.
The Sunday get-together
The day you finally take your time
Sunday in Marseille has its own tempo: you wake without an alarm, wander along the quays and look for a table to settle the day. At Le Caribou, place Thiars, that table is waiting — open when many have pulled down the shutters.
Here there is no rushed service just because it is the weekend: the room stays alive, the team present and the plate carefully made from the first guest to the last. A real restaurant open on Sunday, at the heart of the Vieux-Port.
Open when it counts
Lunch and dinner, the table stays set
Whether you are after a late lunch following a stroll along the harbour or a quiet dinner to close the weekend, Le Caribou opens its terrace and dining room. Sit down, order, let the afternoon or the evening drift by — nobody rushes you.

From lunch on the terrace to a lingering dinner
Sunday at Le Caribou unfolds to suit the mood of the moment. Three times of day, one address on the Vieux-Port, to find yours.
The family meal
Big table, children, grandparents: Sunday is made for getting together. Let us know and we keep what it takes to seat everyone.
Dinner to close the week
As evening falls over place Thiars, we stretch the weekend at the table: a last dish, a drink, the soft mood of Sundays that refuse to end.
The welcome
A house that hosts even on Sunday
What makes a good Sunday restaurant is not simply having the door open: it is finding, at lunch as at dinner, a team keen to host you, a kitchen running and the time to do things well. At Le Caribou, Sunday is a day like any other — that is, carefully done.
Tell us what you are after — a quick lunch between two visits, a long family meal, a quiet table for two — and we seat you in the right spot. That consistency, weekends included, has made Le Caribou one of the good addresses on the Vieux-Port.
On the plate
The generous cooking of fine Sundays
Sunday calls for dishes you savour without watching the clock: seasonal produce, house specialities and lovely plates to share. A creamy burrata with tomatoes and basil, slow-cooked dishes, fish of the day and creations that change with the deliveries.
Nothing rushed: the kitchen cooks at the weekend with the same care as on weekdays. You come to Le Caribou simply to eat well on a Sunday — on the terrace or in the brasserie room, a glass from the list in hand.
