Livingston, Orange wine bar and bistro in central Marseille, France
Livingston is an orange wine bar and bistro in central Marseille located on Rue Crudère. Wooden bistro tables, classic Baumann chairs, and film posters furnish the space, while Mexican-inspired murals form the backdrop.
The establishment opened in June 2021 under the leadership of Harry Cummins, Laura Vidal, and Julia Mitton, who brought chef Valentin Raffali from La Mercerie. This launch marked the beginning of a fresh approach in the Marseille dining scene.
The restaurant name draws from Richard Bach's book about Jonathan Livingston Seagull, reflecting ideas of freedom and independent thinking in food. The Mexican-inspired murals on the walls create a relaxed artistic setting that invites diners to explore bold flavors.
The restaurant opens for dinner Monday and Thursday through Sunday, offering a fixed menu served in multiple courses. The space is compact, so arriving early and making a reservation helps ensure a comfortable dining experience.
The menu showcases small seasonal plates, including pizzetta grilled over binchotan charcoal and calf's head croquettes with chipotle mayonnaise. These dishes reveal an experimental cooking style that pairs traditional ingredients with unexpected flavor combinations.
