L'Épuisette, Michelin-starred restaurant in Vallon des Auffes, France
L'Épuisette is a restaurant located at the fishing port of Vallon des Auffes on Marseille's Mediterranean coast. The dining space spreads across two levels with large windows offering views of the water and harbor activity below.
The restaurant opened in 1999 and received its Michelin star in 2003. The kitchen has maintained this distinction continuously under Chef Guillaume Sourrieu's leadership since then.
The name refers to a traditional fishing net once used by local fishermen along this coast. This connection to maritime work is visible in how the kitchen treats fresh catches as central to its daily cooking.
The restaurant operates Tuesday through Saturday with lunch service from 12:00 to 13:30 and dinner from 19:30 to 21:30. Advance booking is recommended to guarantee a table at this popular spot.
Each morning, the kitchen sources fresh catches directly from fishermen who dock at the harbor below. This daily collaboration allows dishes like bouillabaisse to be made with five different fish species pulled from the sea that same day.
