Épicerie l'Idéal, Mediterranean delicatessen in Noailles district, Marseille, France.

The shop is open Monday through Friday, with extended hours on Friday for aperitivos. Visitors will get the most from the experience during regular business hours, when both the retail section and restaurant are fully operating.
The adjacent restaurant was created to showcase the shop's products in creative dishes that change daily according to the chef's inspirations. This creates a dynamic offering where visitors never know which specialties they might discover on any given day.
