Homemade pasta at Paule & Kopa: a Mediterranean journey

The Mediterranean on your plate

In the heart of Marseille’s Old Port, balancing tradition and creativity, Paule & Kopa offers a sunny, family-style cuisine deeply rooted in Mediterranean heritage. Among the restaurant’s must-try dishes, homemade pasta stands out as a cornerstone of the menu.

Cooked with passion and precision, these recipes highlight local products and southern flavours, combining simplicity, richness, and a distinctly Marseillais character.

Linguine, our common thread of flavours

Linguine, the long and delicate pasta originating from Italy, serves as a blank canvas for the aromas of Provence, the treasures of the sea, and the typical products of the region. At Paule & Kopa, linguine is cooked to order, using fresh, seasonal ingredients:

• Linguine with three cheeses: A comforting classic with a southern twist, made with a carefully selected blend of melted cheeses for a perfect balance of sweetness and character.
• Linguine with brousse du Rove: A nod to local terroir with this rare and precious specialty. Brousse du Rove, a fresh goat’s cheese typical of the Marseille region, brings a creamy texture and a delicate, slightly herbal flavour.
• Linguine with pistou (seasonal): A true taste of Provençal summer, featuring fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil. Generously coated around the linguine, this dish is full of freshness and sunshine.
• Linguine with baby squid (supions): A bold dish where tender baby squid meet a lightly tomato-based sauce scented with Provençal herbs. A house specialty that beautifully bridges land and sea.
• Linguine with bottarga: Elegance and intensity define this iodine-rich recipe. Bottarga, often called the “Mediterranean caviar,” is finely grated over the pasta, releasing its subtle, saline flavour. A refined dish, not to be missed.

Simple, local cuisine full of soul

All our pasta dishes are made in-house, using ingredients carefully selected for their freshness and origin.

At Paule & Kopa, we like to tell the story of Marseille through food. Our linguine dishes are a perfect example: local products, a touch of Italy, and that unmistakable generosity that defines traditional family cooking.
