    LOVED the cocktails here, with such a nice view! The balcony was great too, if you're just in for drinks! The tapas provided with the drinks were also a great compliment, olives, cheese, etc.

    Very cool spot, live music at night, awesome atmosphere, great cocktails. Only place in Europe where they can make a legit old fashioned :) They don't serve food at night though so just go there for drinks after dinner.

    The perfect place when you want to have a drink, or some drinks ;), before dinner, or an expresso with a sunny day (it's often happen in Marseille ;) ) ! Located in the Vieux Port (marina) next to the Town Hall, first floor of an Hotel (can't remember its name!). Nice view of the Notre Dame de la Garde which is the main church in the region & the marina Friendly service and from 6.30pm selection of tapas are served (olives, fish, cooked chicken, peanuts ETC!). I always go there with friends when I am back in the city!

    After reading the good reviews, we stopped in for dinner on a Monday night. The server offered to seat us on the small balcony that overlooks the old port, but I couldn't handle sitting a foot away from a smoker. Sitting inside by a window with a great view, we ordered a couple of glasses of rosé. Our server also brought some tasty bites - chickpeas with mustard sauce, corn with some peppers, and seafood crostini. Turns out they don't have dinner on Monday nights, but they have ardois (literal translation "blackboard") which are protein-centric appetizers served on slate plates. We chose a sardine ardois and a beef carpaccio ardois. The beef carpaccio was thin round slices of beef with capers, pesto, and parmesan cheese. The sardine ardois was 4 sardines (French coast sized, not American sized) atop salad, served with a cut and toasted roll with tomato (similar to bruschetta). Considering the jet lag, it was just about a perfect portion size for a light dinner, particularly with the free tastes offered with drinks. After our ardois and the second round of wine, she brought more free tastes - this time a potato salad with curry and something else that made it yellow, cucumbers with goat cheese, and olive tapenade crostini. Our server was friendly and quite helpful, even in English, and the view couldn't be beat.

    Went to La Caravelle while in Port from the MSC cruise ship Miraviglia. We saw good reviews on yelp so we decided to try. My map app kept telling us we were at the Destination but we could not find it. It is on the second floor overlooking the water. Just look up. We did see the menu posted outside, all in French. Do not be intimidated. While they have no English menus inside, staff was very helpful and translated and made recommendations. I also used Google translate to help out. Food was fantastic good wine, very reasonable price. my wife had the swordfish special and I had The salted cod with vegetables. A traditional dish in Marseille, My wife loved the sword fish. Lots of locals in there, definitely not a tourist trap.
