Yokäe — Restaurant in Marseille

I am so sorry that I only discovered this place on my last night in Marseille. If I had found it sooner I would’ve eaten here many times during my trip. The food was so good! I wanted to try everything on the menu.

I had the medium chicken yassa dish. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the plantain, rice, sweet potatoes and fried onions - everything complimented eachother. Even the Bissau, hibiscus drink went down well. Very tasty.

To top it off, the staff were super sweet. Very nice guys. One of them spoke English, so we had a bit of a chat. They were all so welcoming. I felt happy to support especially with it being a black owned business.

I wlll recommend Yokae to anyone I know who is visiting Marseille. I wish...

Had the Congo bowl, it was delicious and felt healthy - you can add a dessert and drink for only €3.90.

The big Congo bowl was so much food I couldn’t finish, to have this plus dessert and a drink was only €17.90 - which seems like a steal for such high quality. Some of the drinks are cool and imported.

The decor is simple but clean and there’s some good hip hop, grime and French rap playing. The staff were really friendly - has to be one of the best value for money experiences in Marseille and would...

Incredible food, and incredibly friendly people. We were looking for easy takeout on our last night in Marseille and were excited to try Yokae, but didn't expect to have our best meal of the entire trip!

The Poulet Mayo and the Mikates were great, but the Kongo Bowl was the definite highlight. Everyone working was friendly and helpful, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Marseille. I really can't recommend it...
