La Cave à Jambon
Situated at the heart of Marseille, Cave à Jambon has become an inescapable address regarding tapas for 3 years . Real shared student-house in very rustic decoration, the aficionados of Iberian products will be amazed in the unique cellar where whole hams, with high quality, are hung, at the bottom of the room. Behind barrels used by the way of high tables, an exceptional selection of wine followed by a corner kick grocer's shop is available to the clientele: olive oil, food cans and jars decorate walls like real trophies. This small market, in the scents of Spain, is the perfect place for a quick lunch or a dinner between friends, the whole in a warm atmosphere and more friendly.

Drunken Sailor
Formerly named Butte Rouge during 13 years, the boss of places renames this tapas bar Drunken Sailor (in reference to an Irish marine song) while keeping his concept of Spanish tapas (and adding it an exceptional range of cocktails). Just a step from the Plain, in a very livened up district of Julien Courts, the warm atmosphere is always there. With its small terrace of barrels, the restaurant calls up to a relaxed and family atmosphere, where sharing a board of charcut' between friends seems to be an obvious evidence. Mostly, it is the leader of any Barcelona’s laws that brought him with "home-made" sound and Spanish recipes, validated unanimously.

Tasca
Tasca? It is the major address of Marseille inhabitants when they come to to join a good party in an a typical place. That is to say, when we arrive in front of the entrance, Ferrari street, not far from Plain, we say immediately that the restaurant cannot welcome our entire reservation, so everything seems to be small. Intimate ambience thanks to subdued lights, the intrigue plunges us into an endless path in the deafening hubbub. In a farther distance, an immense patio welcomes dozens of tables, surrounded by gigantic candlesticks. All are furnished by ramekins in terra-cotta, collecting the famous patatas bravas, boquerones fritos or even some meat kebabs. One multitude of both salty and sweet recipes, for the biggest happiness of the customers!

It is the first restaurant to take Andalusia in the Phocaean city. Tapas Rojas, this Spanish restaurant situated a few steps away from Saint Charles station, transports us to Spain by the caliente, red and black decoration. The atmosphere, very welcoming is just like its bosses, who come from Iberian Peninsula.

El Picoteo offers you the Spanish time, the party time. In the cozy inside or patio warmly decorated and surrounded with stone white walls, we would consider almost in one typical village-house. And then, when tapas come to the table and when the scents overhang the room, it makes no more doubt: here we are brought in Spain.
