If you are looking to dine outdoors near the Marseille harbor but away from the touristy crowds,…read moreVinonéo is a good option. I had a lovely lunch here on the terrace out front. Even though it was 30°C, the breeze and shade from the tall trees made it a perfect spot to enjoy some French fare and people watching. The fresh Burrata Caprese (with pesto sauce!) and Squash Blossom appetizers were very tasty. Probably the the best versions of each I've ever had. I was so full by the time I finished them that I had a bit of trouble making my way through my Lamb Shank entrée. It was lamb roasted with shallots, root vegetables, and a wine sauce, but the meat was a bit over-cooked, salty, and dry. I probably should have chosen a lighter dish. The wine I had was very good though, and it's a beautiful place to dine outdoors!

My wife and I had the most scrumptious dinner here out on the patio this past August. Despite the…read morestifling heat, our seating was cool with a gentle breeze off the nearby harbor. I had swordfish carpaccio with wasabi "ice cream" of which I still dream. The wine list while brief, was excellent, and our server directed me to the perfect pairing. The service was attentive, but unobtrusive. When we are back in Marseille this is definitely a place we will happily return.

I'm in France. It's a bistrot (bar/restaurant) and it's focus is wine. Le Bistrot a Vin =…read morehappiness, delight, joy, peace, libations and nom noms. This location is right on the port so al fresco (outside) dining lets you see boats, ships and pretty much all things maritime. The bistro, IMHO, didn't have a HUUGGEEE wine list, in fact it was rather seasonal so rose was the wine of the day - but what it lacked in quantity it more than made up for in quality. Tasty chilled roses from the impeccable bandol region sang with their tart zingy aftertaste that lulled the tongue into a gratified submission; why talk when you can continue to sip and drink!? A nearby art exhibit at a rehabbed warehouse turned museum was featuring the biography of (gay icon) Jean Genet - so the eye candy wandering about was more than impressive. My companion and I had one rule we'd abide to while traveling together in France; instead of trying to fit in as many tourist sites as possible in our limited time, if we found a place we liked - we'd stay there and enjoy the vibe - why rush happiness? So one bottle in the late afternoon soon morphed into three so we could watch the spectacular sunset on the Riviera and munch on that oh so perfect French bread and some briny oysters.... oh the good life! One caveat I should note - great service, clean interior but due to location - pricey. To me, worth every penny..... although I guess I should note my companion picked up the tab.

We were some of the first customers to arrive, since we Americans eat early (and quickly) and we were hungry after all our morning excursions.

We ended up paying inside, where I could see that it was also a charming place for the cooler months when you'd want to be inside.
