In Malmousque, Aposto is not a conventional restaurant but a secluded table d'hôtes inside the home of two travelling artists. At 14 rue Arnaud, guests sit among artworks, second-hand finds, travel souvenirs and collectors' pieces: the décor feels more like a lived-in cabinet of curiosities than a dining room designed by a restaurant chain.
What is the meal like?
The homemade cuisine is Mediterranean and inspired by travel, with a deliberately concise menu that changes according to produce and current inspiration. The experience relies as much on meeting the hosts and other guests as on the food.
Good to know before visiting in 2026
- address: 14 rue Arnaud, 13007 Marseille;
- limited number of places;
- operates mainly by reservation;
- a single or very short menu depending on the date;
- mention allergies and dietary requirements when booking;
- check the 2026 calendar through the venue's official channel before travelling.
A little something extra
Aposto deserves its category because guests really do dine in the artists' home, in their own world, rather than in artificial themed décor.
Tip: come prepared to talk. If you are looking for an anonymous restaurant where everyone keeps to themselves, the table d'hôtes format loses much of its appeal.
