Les Arcenaulx, Mediterranean restaurant near Vieux Port, Marseille, France
Les Arcenaulx is a restaurant in Marseille serving seasonal dishes that combine fresh seafood with Provençal ingredients in a dining room with exposed stone walls and wooden beams. The chef adjusts the menu based on what is available, creating new combinations for each season.
The building was originally a maritime arsenal from the 17th century where port goods were stored before being converted into a restaurant. Today the structure still shows traces of this industrial past in its construction.
Inside, a bookstore hosts regular meetings where authors discuss their works with visitors interested in literature. The space mixes dining with literary life, creating a place where food and books come together.
The restaurant sits close to Vieux Port, making it easy to reach by walking through the neighborhood streets. Visitors should be aware that the interior spaces may have uneven floors and low doorways due to the age of the building.
The wine list is managed by Simone Laffitte and includes more than two hundred fifty French wines from different regions. This selection allows every visitor to find a wine that matches their taste and budget.
