La boite à sardine, Seafood restaurant in central Marseille, France
La Boîte à Sardine is a seafood restaurant in central Marseille with an open kitchen visible from the dining area. Chefs prepare fresh fish daily using ovens, grills, and pan-frying techniques, combined with seasonal vegetables and rice.
The restaurant opened with its maritime concept focused on fresh seafood and moved to Boulevard de la Libération in 2013. This relocation allowed it to expand while keeping its original fishing-inspired identity intact.
The dining room reflects Mediterranean fishing traditions through its decor. Fishing nets, life jacket cushions, and an international collection of sardine tins from around the world adorn the space, giving it an authentic maritime character.
The restaurant is located in central Marseille and operates Tuesday through Saturday, remaining closed on Sunday and Monday. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak hours, as tables may be shared with other diners.
Diners select their preferred fresh fish directly from the daily display, which typically features five to six different varieties alongside oysters and shellfish. This hands-on approach lets guests choose exactly what they want before it is prepared in the kitchen.
