The best bars and cafés La Ciotat

Ideally located on the pretty Place Sadi-Carnot with its fountain, just a stone's throw from the port, this café has been renowned for the past 7 years by Ciotadens for its excellent homemade waffles. But to sum up the place would be too simple, for here people come to enjoy brunch as much as natural wines (Loire, Rhône Valley, Provence, Vaucluse, Var...), as well as tasty dishes for lunch. In the kitchen, Lisa's talent shines through. At Le Petit Futé, you'll appreciate the relaxed, family atmosphere of the café, the lovely terrace and its truly Mediterranean ambience, as well as the coffee specialities on offer. A wide variety of fruit and vegetable juices, and an eco-friendly approach.

A historic bar in La Ciotat where petanque was invented! The café reopened in 2015 after a major makeover. Make way for a studied concept, a pretty setting with its mosaic floor, its line of tables on the terrace... Here, we give pride of place to local products from the Provencal craft industry with pastry cakes, ciotadens cookies or homemade lemonades. It is the ideal place for a sweet break: breakfasts, ice creams, waffles, hot-dogs, bagels, soups... The good idea: a solidarity bookshop is adjacent to the café!

A new address in the old town centre that bourbon lovers have already adopted. On the charming Place Sadi-Carnot, you will love the cosy interior of this bar run by an Italian in love with La Ciotat. A la carte, renowned spirits, rum, gin and whisky. There is something for every taste. The place to have a drink with class without it becoming "have you seen me". Very nice wine list too, Italian of course and French. You can also enjoy a picnic with some nice homemade piadinas, a real delight!

Qu'a vist La Ciotat, se noun a vist Ô Central, pou dire : n'ai rèn vist ! This institution of the port gathers natives, visitors and workers of the building site from the morning around a coffee, the midday to benefit from the sun and the evening for aperitifs which one remembers. It's a bit of a friends' place with the friendly Hervé and Mathieu who run the place. Le Central has been given a makeover, with a larger bioclimatic terrace and green walls. In season, you can't miss the Friday concerts if you walk along the port.
