Au Bord de l'Eau, Restaurant and brewery in Madrague de Montredon, Marseille, France
Au Bord de l'Eau is a restaurant and brewery in Madrague de Montredon, a small fishing village in Marseille. The building sits right at the water's edge with views of traditional wooden boats that bob along rocky shores and Mediterranean waters.
The place continues an old tradition where fishing boats brought their daily catch directly to restaurants. This practice has shaped Madrague de Montredon for generations.
The place reflects the close bond between fishing and dining that has long shaped life along the water. Visitors can see how local fishermen use their boats and bring fresh catches directly to the kitchen.
The venue is open Thursday through Sunday plus Monday lunch, with both a covered veranda area and an open outdoor space. Visitors should know that the waterside location means walking access is required and the area can be exposed during bad weather.
The place produces its own beer on site, which sets it apart from typical fishing restaurants that usually rely on outside breweries. This combination of fishing, dining, and beer making creates an unusual mix.
