Paule & Kopa, Vieux-Port restaurant in Marseille
The soul of Mediterranean cuisine on place aux Huiles, just steps from the Old Port
Paule & Kopa – The story of a Marseille passion
Mediterranean dishes & Provençal specialities in Marseille
Located in the heart of Marseille, on the charming place aux Huiles just a stone’s throw from the Old Port, Paule & Kopa is far more than a restaurant. It’s a local institution, a warm, lively place where authenticity, conviviality and culinary craftsmanship come together.
Since day one, Paule & Kopa has celebrated Mediterranean and Provençal cuisine in its purest form: homemade dishes, fresh local ingredients, and traditional recipes passed down with care.
Here, every plate tells a story, one of the South, the sea, the sun, and every service is an invitation to enjoy a generous, heartfelt moment in a welcoming atmosphere.
An iconic address on Marseille’s Old Port
Business lunches, birthdays, family gatherings, private events
Set between the picturesque lanes and lively quays of the Vieux-Port, Paule & Kopa has become a must-visit dining spot for both locals and travellers.
From the sunny terrace, overlooking the Hôtel-Dieu and the reflections of boats in the harbour, guests enjoy a truly southern atmosphere while discovering the authentic flavours of the Mediterranean.
Inside, the restaurant blends natural materials, contemporary touches and Provençal charm, creating a warm yet elegant setting.
It’s a place where you instantly feel at home, whether you’re here for a business lunch, a romantic dinner or a friendly evening out.
The Paule & Kopa philosophy – Tradition, sharing & pleasure
Fresh ingredients, seasonality and regional producers at the heart of every dish
At Paule & Kopa, everything begins with the product. Our chefs work daily with fresh, seasonal ingredients, sourced largely from regional producers.
This commitment to flavour shines through in a menu where Marseille classics meet wider Mediterranean inspirations:
- Provençal-style supions
- Aubergine parmigiana
- Grilled fish depending on the daily catch
- Carefully selected French meats
- Homemade desserts such as orange-blossom crème brûlée or brousse & limoncello delight
Every dish is crafted with respect for tradition and love for the craft, values that have shaped the restaurant’s reputation for many years.
