In the heart of Marseille, food is much more than a tradition: it is a true way of life. Between sea and land, Marseille’s specialties tell a story shaped by sunshine, sharing, and authentic ingredients.
On the Vieux-Port, some establishments continue to honor this Provençal cuisine with sincerity. At Paule & Kopa, each dish highlights local flavors, respecting traditional recipes.
Typical Marseille dishes to discover at the Old Port
The essence of Provençal cuisine through must-try specialties
Supions in the Provençal style, a signature dish
It is hard to talk about Marseille gastronomy without mentioning supions. These small squid, sautéed with garlic, parsley and olive oil, offer an explosion of Mediterranean flavors.
Tender, fragrant, and generous… supions in the Provençal style are a true invitation to travel, right from your plate.
Pieds et paquets, a traditional dish
Another emblematic specialty: pieds et paquets from Marseille. This typical dish, slowly simmered, reveals the full richness of local cuisine.
Generous and authentic, it perfectly reflects the spirit of recipes passed down from generation to generation.
Fish from the calanques, local freshness
Another must-try is our fresh fish sourced from the Marseille coastline, particularly from the Frioul islands and the calanques. Grilled sea bass, depending on availability, is prepared with simplicity to highlight its natural flavor.
A dish that perfectly embodies the richness of the Mediterranean Sea and local expertise.
Marseille-style pizzas, between tradition and local identity
In Marseille, pizza has its own identity. The famous “half-and-half”, with anchovies on one side and cheese on the other, is a perfect example.
At Paule & Kopa, artisan pizzas are prepared in keeping with tradition, with homemade dough and carefully selected ingredients.
Stuffed vegetables and flavors of the South
Provençal stuffed vegetables complete this range of specialties. Zucchini, potatoes, and eggplants, filled and slowly cooked, offer a cuisine that is simple yet deeply flavorful.
A southern cuisine, generous and full of character.
Authentic Provençal cuisine in the heart of the Vieux-Port
Tasting Marseille specialties on the Vieux-Port is a complete experience: a unique setting, a warm atmosphere, and meaningful cuisine.
At Paule & Kopa, every dish reflects this philosophy: offering homemade, sincere cuisine inspired by local produce and designed for sharing.
Whether you are visiting or a Marseille local at heart, it is the ideal restaurant to (re)discover the great classics of local gastronomy.
