A Hidden Gem on the Edge of Marseille – Perfect for Seafood Lovers
If you find yourself at the end of the Marseille coastline, just where the Calanques National Park begins, don’t miss the chance to visit this charming little seafood restaurant. It’s a true hidden gem, offering a genuinely local experience.
The menu focuses heavily on fresh, local fish dishes, prepared with the authentic flavors of the region. I had one of the best seafood meals I’ve ever tasted, perfectly paired with a glass of excellent French wine. To top it off, I tried a local shot that everyone seemed to be enjoying – it had a taste similar to Ouzo, strong yet refreshing, and a perfect finish to a delicious meal.
The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. And the view? Simply stunning. The restaurant overlooks a small, picturesque harbor, adding to the relaxed and authentic atmosphere.
If you love fresh seafood, local flavors, and a genuine French dining experience, this place is a must-visit. Highly...

It's a friendly small village and while I enjoyed my coffee at the little table out front, I watched the staff and neighbors playing with the dogs and hanging out laughing.
Next time I will plan to get there for lunch. I highly recommend them, just because they're...
Read moreWe had lunch for 4 at La Marine Des Goudes, and were seated at an indoor table that still had a lovely view of the sea. Unfortunately the nice view was overshadowed by the poor service. After waiting 40 minutes for our food, we asked our waiter on the status, and he had clearly forgotten to put in our order until we asked. He asked us to remind him what we had ordered and we watched him put it in. Then, rather than owning up to the error or apologizing for the delay, a separate waiter came and blamed the chef for overcooking the linguine, and said that was the reason our food took so long (we had watched multiple tables who arrived and ordered long after us receive linguine without issue).
When the food finally came it was just okay. Over priced for the quality and the staff...
