The apéro sliding into dinner
You come for a drink facing the harbour, pick at a sharing board, and the apéro turns into a full meal before you notice.

A late-night restaurant in Marseille when the night is still hungry
At Le Caribou, we keep serving when many close. Homemade cooking until late, a lively terrace and a busy counter: on the Vieux-Port, a table where you can sit down late in the evening, with nobody rushing you out.
After dinner time
Where you can still dine late
Steps from the quays, Le Caribou is one of those spots where you stop watching the clock. When the neighbourhood kitchens start to pack up, ours is still running: you settle in, you order, you take the time for a real meal — even past the usual dinner hour.
A late-night restaurant is not a room left lit on principle: it is a brigade still at work, hot plates still coming out and a room that keeps its rhythm. In Marseille the Vieux-Port keeps watch — and Le Caribou’s kitchen with it.
Service runs late
The kitchen stays lit later than elsewhere
When hunger wakes up late in the evening, you can still order a real dish at Le Caribou. You sit down without watching the clock, you share, you extend the meal — and nobody pushes you towards the door while the room is alive.
Discover the menuThree moments of the evening
From a late apéro to the last dish
An evening at Le Caribou reads like a stretching tempo. Three moments, one table, to find yours.
The dinner that stretches
At the table, no rush. The plates arrive at their own pace, the conversation lasts and the meal settles in for the whole evening.
The last dish of the night
As the city quietens, the kitchen still serves. A hot plate, a last dish to share, the soft late-evening mood of place Thiars.
The welcome
A team still here, late into the evening
What makes a good late-night restaurant is not the hours on the door: it is finding, when others are closing, a welcoming room, a smiling server and the genuine wish to feed you well. At Le Caribou the welcome never drops as the hour grows late.
Tell us your appetite — a craving for meat, for fish, for something warming or a lighter plate — and we steer you to what will please you, even for the last order. That consistency, service after service, makes Le Caribou a table to come back to late in the evening.
At the table
Generous plates, even at a late hour
Slow-cooked meats, seasonal fish, sharing boards and house specialities: Le Caribou’s menu keeps being served late, with no watered-down version. What we bring you past midnight comes from the same kitchen, with the same care as at the heart of service.
We cook from scratch, with chosen produce, a touch of Marseille accent and real portions. Enough to settle a late-evening hunger or a proper dinner, around a fine table on the Vieux-Port.

Good to know
Late-night restaurant in Marseille: frequently asked questions
Where is this late-night restaurant in Marseille?
Le Caribou is on place Thiars, on the Vieux-Port of Marseille (13001), steps from the quays, the cours d’Estienne d’Orves and the Canebière — at the heart of one of the liveliest squares in the city in the evening.
How late can I dine?
The kitchen stays in service late: you can sit down for a real meal well after the usual dinner hour, into the late evening on place Thiars. For the very last order, a word to the team on arrival lets us arrange everything.
Can I turn up late without a booking?
It is possible, especially on weekdays. But at the weekend or in fine weather the room and terrace fill fast: booking secures a well-placed table for a late dinner, with no wait.
Are hot dishes still served late in the evening?
Yes. Slow-cooked meats, fish, sharing boards and house specialities keep coming out of the kitchen for as long as the late service is open — with the same care as at the heart of the evening.
Can I come just for a drink and a few bites?
Of course. Settle at the counter or on the terrace for an apéro, a sharing board or a few seasonal bites, at whatever hour suits you. Le Caribou is a real restaurant as much as a place to carry the evening on.
Can we dine late as a group?
Yes. Birthdays, afterworks, tables of friends or team dinners: let the team know and we tailor your evening, with the space you need and service running late.
