In Callelongue, beyond Les Goudes, La Grotte enjoys a particularly distinctive Marseille setting: a small harbour, fishermen's cabins and cliffs mark the literal end of the road, at the gateway to the Calanques National Park. What makes this restaurant unusual is above all its location, rather than artificial decor.
What's on the menu?
The cooking is Mediterranean, using fresh ingredients, fish depending on the day's catch, meat, grilled dishes and wood-fired pizzas. In good weather, the leafy patio is one of the most sought-after areas.
Before visiting in 2026
- Address: 1 avenue des Pébrons, Callelongue, 13008 Marseille.

- Driving can be slow in good weather.
- Parking is difficult around Callelongue.
- The menu and opening hours vary by season.
The extra touch
This outing works wonderfully with a walk in the surrounding area. Driving there, eating and immediately heading back would mean missing part of what makes the place special.
Tip: book early enough to arrive before sunset and allow plenty of travel time. In summer, traffic towards Les Goudes and Callelongue can make the journey much longer than the distance suggests.
