Highlights
- Le Cours Julien - Ice Cream - the best ice cream shops of Marseille, let yourself be surprised by the vast array of flavors offered, many truly unique!
- Boulevard Chave - Charcuterie and Cheese – a diverse selection of cheese and cured meats, from the nearby Corsica, from the Provence and the rest of France. Served with a good glass of wine, of course!
- Le Cours Julien - Tapas – Marseille loves its tapas : there isn’t a best way to try different types of specialties in manageable sizes, all in one evening: octopus, goat cheese, eggplant caviar and many others… all depending on seasonal availability.
- Rue Crudère - Panisses or Joels – Marseille has one of the oldest ports in the Mediterranean, their typical sardines, the “joels”, can’t be missed. And if you don’t love fish that much, there are always the delicious panisses! And while you’re sitting in a typical Marseille pub, why shouldn’t you try the “pastis”, the alcoholic drink of Provence?
- Place Notre Dame du Mont - Cocktail or dessert – We’re almost sure you will be full at the end of our tour, but if you still want to try a typical dessert of Marseille, we suggest trying it here, a delightful mezze fusion restaurant, loved by Marseille foodies.

Varied and great food tour of Marseille, recommendation! - We had a really great food tour through a colorful and beautiful part of Marseile. Ines is insanely friendly and showed us bistros and restaurants we probably wouldn't have gone to. There was savoury, sweet and always the really good wine from Provence. The atmosphere was warm, you feel welcome. In Marseille certainly an insider tip for a food tour, highly recommended.

Great food and cool area of Marseille - Ines was a wonderful tour guide! We had a small group of 4 and it was perfect. My college-age son and I were able to try many types of cuisine that Marseilles has. We explored a cool area of Marseille too!! After this tour I felt like I knew where to come back to for a great dinner or lunch. Ines was very knowledgeable about this area and the food. She took us to some of her favorite places. I highly recommend!!

Great way to experience food culture in Marseille - A great way to try the food specialties in Marseille and explore the La Plaine and Cour Juliens districts. Ines was very friendly and shared a lot of great insights. She picked unique and delicious dishes for us to try such as octopus and mackerel ceviche, but can select dishes based on your preferences. We enjoyed the 4 different venues we visited and had a good amount of food. We wish we had done this tour earlier so we could have gone back and tried more of the food in the area.

A wonderful way to spend an evening - The walk thru the neighborhood was just as interesting as the food tastes. Being able to converse with our local guide about living in Marseille enhanced our tour.

Lovely day out trying local food! - We did the Marseille food tour in February and absolutely loved it.
The weather was gorgeous so we had a lovely day out.
Our guide, Inga, brought us to lovely local spots where we got to try some delicious food and wine!
Inga was fantastic. She taught us Marseille history and kept the group lively and entertaining.
We had a great group who were over for the rugby match, so it was lovely to meet new people and bond!
Thanks Inga for a fantastic tour. Would highly recommend! 5/5

An amazing night ! - Ines is an incredible guide who truly knows the best places and hidden gems of Marseille. It was wonderful to see places other than the Vieux Port and discover the lively and diverse Marseille culture. Walking through the streets, no matter the weather, with a local is such a great experience I would highly recommend to anybody. The food is all delicious, perfect for everyone and all the venues have a wonderful vibe! It is a perfect opportunity to try amazing food and discover the art districts of Marseille.

Nice tour and wonderful guide - Only my husband and I signed up for this tour and we had some trouble finding it- the meeting point is a restaurant and they knew nothing about this tour company. When Ines arrived, she was very friendly and accommodating. We visited multiple local restaurants and she ordered food in accordance with our preferences. Overall a fun time!
