This Thai restaurant is just a little way out of the centre of Marseille. But it’s worth the walk – the staff are friendly, polite and the food is great.

Located on the stylish and hip Cours Julien, is the popular Le Cours en Vert. It’s a casual place, where the service is friendly. It used to serve fish but it doesn’t anymore and is now fully vegetarian and vegan. It’s a great place to watch the world go by and wander the back alleys of the edgy neighbourhood afterwards.
