Paule & Kopa : le restaurant marseillais salué par Le Monde

Paule & Kopa, the Marseille address highlighted by Le Monde

In 2015, the renowned newspaper Le Monde dedicated an article to this discreet restaurant in its “Gastronomy & Wine – Good Addresses” column, written by critic François Simon.

The article described this Marseille table as a “haven for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine who prefer to stay out of sight,” a fine recognition for Paule & Kopa, which has remained true to its roots and culinary identity.

A local institution with Mediterranean charm

Away from the tourist circuits, Paule & Kopa attracts above all a loyal local clientele, made up of regular guests who appreciate the quality and generosity of its homemade cuisine.

In this warm and welcoming space, supions à la provençale, pieds et paquets, stuffed vegetables and anchovy pizzas sit alongside fresh meat and fish dishes (such as sea bass or gilt-head bream depending on the catch of the day).

Everything is homemade, respecting the culinary traditions of the South. The charm of the place lies as much in its cuisine as in its atmosphere: a sunny terrace, a friendly team, and a Marseille authenticity that appeals both to residents of the neighbourhood and visitors passing through.

A recognition that endures

Ten years after this feature in Le Monde, Paule & Kopa continues to embody the same spirit: a sincere, generous restaurant with no unnecessary frills.

A place where conviviality and good humour mix with the scents of olive oil, garlic and lemon.

Those who step through the door quickly understand why this address remains, still today, “the secret restaurant of the people of Marseille”.
