This new wine cellar arrived unexpectedly in December 2022, but once you've stepped through the door, it lives up to all its promises. At the helm is Maxime Agostini, a young wine enthusiast who left the region for a few years to work in the capital, where he honed his wine knowledge, and returned to Marseille to realize his dream of opening his own wine cellar. The advice is expert, with a pleasantly relaxed tone. A fine selection of regional, French and foreign wines. In an unusual move for Marseille, Maxime Agostini sells quite a few Greek wines, having specialized in the field for several years. An opportunity to make new discoveries. As well as wine, spirits and champagne.

Here we advise novices for their beginnings in the discovery of the nectar of this nectar, help to choose the ideal bottle, depending on whether it is intended for a man or a woman… and finally we are refining the tastes of connoisseurs to make them discover a bottle more appreciated than the previous one. Indeed, this cellar regularly runs its stock by sourcing from new producers. In short, here the advice is paramount, the welcome is charming and the contents of the cellar enchanting. France is the country of wine par excellence, but not all French are amateurs capable of making the difference between a coteaux-en-provence or a Bordeaux! You can only come out of this place enchanted by the good mood of the boss, and the water in the mouth, impatient to taste this little treasure that was helped to find you.

Bordeaux, Bourgognes, Alsace wines, Côtes-de-Provence, Côtes-du-rhône, wines from Languedoc… And many others come directly from producers of these names. In addition, the warm and friendly welcome gives preference to the choice of choices through sound advice from real professionals. A true happiness, just a few steps from the church of the Chartreux, for hedonists and epicurists as for curious amateurs. It's also convenient to make a good bottle when you want to bring a good bottle to your friends.

Between the lively Place Sébastopol and the commercial district of Cinq-Avenues, the arrival of this new peasant grocery store is welcomed by the inhabitants of the district. Although urban, they are still looking for good, reasoned, local products in order to consume more conscientiously. This small grocery store offers fruits and vegetables directly from the producers, mainly from the department. Selection of alpine cheeses, creamery and organic groceries. Local ice cream from the pink elephant with white spots.

In the authentic district of La Blancarde, in a discreet street along the railway line, you will find the Orsoni family biscuit factory, which has been there for almost 30 years. A must for many Marseilles families who love the canistrelli they make there, the soft macaroons or the famous Marseilles shuttles, with orange blossom, the house specialty. You will also discover Provençal navettes which differ from the Marseillaises by their shape, rounder and more plump than the slender Marseillaises. There is also a large selection of other sweets with the possibility of buying them in pretty containers as gifts.

A new Italian caterer in the very commercial and friendly district of Sevastopol Square. All the good things are here to take away or even available for delivery. Beautiful choice of fresh homemade pasta (white tagliatelle, with vegetables or pumpkin), stuffed ravioli (vegetables, beef, Sicilian style), gnocchi. Every Saturday, it is homemade pizza (cheese, anchovies, mozzarella, broccoli and sausage, vegetables). Booking possible by phone. On the grocery store side, delicatessen, cheese, antipasti and dry pasta. Sicilian specialities of the house, a delight: arancini, caponata and cannoli on the sweet side. Everything is of course homemade. A sure thing

Marseille has its navettes and canistrellis, Aix has its calissons, and now the city can boast its own madeleine! La Madeleine de Marseille, recently opened as a boutique by two partners, Patrick and Nicolas, is located in the lively Cinq-Avenues district. It's a pretty store with the sweet aroma of freshly baked madeleines. Proust himself would love it, and would never leave the premises. Different flavors: aniseed, almond, pistachio, lemon, plain and a delicious melting sensation on the palate. A real treat. Everything is made on site in the small laboratory, so it's very, very fresh. You'll appreciate the texture of the madeleines, the bits of chocolate, the flaked almonds and the pistachio powder. A gourmet marvel you won't want to miss!

In addition to the vast choice, you'll find expert, personalized advice from Vanessa, a passionate wine connoisseur. Monthly events include a tasting of the house favourites, which has become a not-to-be-missed event.
