Start your culinary journey in the Vieux Port, the heart of past and present Marseille, with a taste of the famous roasted camembert à la Provençale. You can try to dip a crouton in it. It’s delicious. Alternatively, have a taste of Provençal cheese, paired with local drinks, such as the famous pastis, the iconic anise-flavoured apéritif from Marseille.
Experience the Marseille half-and-half: pizza in its most authentic form, built on a base of fresh, uncooked tomato sauce that brings a bright, slightly tangy flavor to every bite. One half is generously topped with grated Emmental, melting into a smooth, golden layer with a mild, nutty richness. The other half celebrates the bold character of the Mediterranean, with salty anchovies laid over the tomato base, sometimes enhanced with a touch of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs.
Have a stroll along La Canebière, one of the most famous and historical streets in Marseille. Its named after Canabe, the Provençal term for hemp, that grew in that area. Here you will discover why Marseille is also famous for its confectionery products, such as nougats and calissons. Come with us in an adorable boutique to discover the secrets of these sweet gems.
You will end your culinary journey in Noailles, the market district and also known as "le ventre de Marseille", literally "the belly of Marseille". Here, the savours from Orient will call you! You can taste some crunchy and melting pastries to enjoy without admission of guilt. Which one will be your favourite?
