The best bars and cafés Provence

Le Lochness is the new and first Scottish pub in Marseille, located next to the Old Port, on the Cours Jean-Ballard. In an authentic setting that refers to the Highlands, a mountainous region passing through Scotland, Le Lochness offers the discovery of the legends of the Battle of Culloden clans and the best Scottish beverages!

For over 60 years, smokers of all species have been in the Old port bar. It is known for two reasons: open in the evening, you can buy cigarettes until 22 p. m. in the winter and much later in summer. An indoor space on the floor is reserved for the tobacco addicts. Drink a café on the terrace, order a bakery or a sandwich all day, buy an ice, find together support the Olympique de Marseille in front of the giant screen are the additional proposals of this smoking bar not like the others. A nice setting and a nice ambiance, but a nice atmosphere for the game nights with good child fans.

It is a place not to be missed for the Arles parties. A great atmosphere, a top staff and a really pleasant setting, what more could you ask for? A beautiful terrace where it is pleasant to consume for example. Well, that's exactly the case. We really liked the cocktails and the little food that goes with it. It's really the perfect place to relax and have a great time with friends over a good beer, in moderation of course.

Welcome to the RCT lair! You can dine there at noon or noon and evening on the day of the game. But above all, if you don't have a place for Mayol, here you will come with the var mélée, especially since if you make the right bet, you will leave with a closed balloon at the end of the final whistle! The city loves and encourages its club, and flags and flags decorate buses and lights at every match to encourage the team. It must be said that their Facebook site exceeded the 40 000 fans… This is the extent of the excitement for this famous club, led by Benard Laporte who won the Heineken Cup 2013 in Dublin!

Here is the beautiful Café Célestine, in the heart of the village. The owners of the place are no novices, since they used to run the Micocoulier in Eygalières. On the menu, a cuisine from here and elsewhere, sometimes surprising, always tasty like the cannelloni à la Monégasque, spinach, chard and meat juice. Of course, everything is homemade, from the appetizer to the dessert. In the latter, we recommend the green apple and lemon pavlova. Note that the establishment alternates coffee, restaurant noon and evening, non-stop, for a moment of happiness.

The Café de la Comédie has a special history because it takes its name from the first "Italian" theatre in Avignon, inaugurated in 1732. It will be sold out for more than 100 years. It is the Place de l'Horloge theatre that will steal the show. Today the café is opposite the mythical Hotel de l'Europe, located on one of the most beautiful squares in Avignon. Its large terrace is in the shade of one of the two gigantic trees of the Place Crillon. It is very popular with the people of Avignon. Good value for money. Warm welcome.

On the Place de l'Horloge, the oldest brasserie in Avignon which has known the glorious hours of Jean Vilar and Gérard Philippe. Names of prestigious actors are engraved in golden plates on the backs of the red benches in the bar room... Classified balcony, retro Parisian woodwork and small lamps on the tables. In summer, you can sit down for a coffee and a croissant on the terrace on the plane tree side for shade, if not sun. Even if it is crowded, the service is fast. For the restoration, a brasserie in continuous service in summer.

In place of the Great R, the Grand Théâtre de Provence opened the Teddy Bar, a cosy atmosphere of a pub, open the evenings of representation from 19 H and two new intermission bars - one in the lobby, one in the patio for smokers (and non smokers).

A good evening, in love or between friends, around a good wine accompanied by a charcuterie and cheese board… it is hardly necessary to be happy. At 21 Chai, you will enjoy a fine selection of local wines, such as AOC des Baux, Ventoux, Croze-hermitage or some great wines in AOC Pomc, riparian, châteauneuf-du-pape. And if you feel like it, count on the skills of sommeliers who will let you discover a few nice wines. What more can I ask? Delicious accompaniment and pleasant atmosphere… It's okay, it's all inclusive.

Justine opened her coffee shop after training as a barista and roaster, and working as an apprentice in Bordeaux, Madrid and Portugal. She roasts her beans on site, from Mexico, Ethiopia and Honduras. Each origin has a different flavor: full-bodied, balanced, full-bodied or light. Justine will advise you on how to choose from the different beans on offer. You can also sit down for a coffee with homemade brownies or cake - that's the Kaki concept, a convivial place.

Come to Bar Lounge Chang'an, this is an opportunity to discover a part open to all of Villa Massalia, hotel and bar, both under the theme of Asia. The bar offers classic and innovative cocktails as well as a snack card, small things to eat throughout the day. In short, the location is ideal for those who wish to spend a relaxing moment in a nice setting or terrace, between sky and sea. Every Saturday evening, from 19 a. m., a live orchestra will bring the atmosphere.

This is the Radisson Blu Hotel bar. It is located on the right of the entrance, inside, where you expect comfortable red armchairs. There are good cocktails (including a famous mojito), an aperitif, a digestive, a soft drink or a hot drink, but you can also eat it from until. On the menu, soup of the day, sandwiches, salads, pasta, and even hot dishes (chicken tajines, beef fillet…). Unless you prefer to drink a cup of champagne with a small dessert…

Here the atmosphere will take you directly to the dance trail. This Cuban restaurant offers salsa courses every Thursday evening (with Ingrid)… Many evenings are organized, South American or Antillean. Enjoy South American wines such as the Cafayate of Argentina or Chile's Casillero del Madre. Alongside pictures and pictures of Cuba, the by warm colors, you can sip a mojito or a caipirinha, sipping a few tapas and especially listening to the musica.

Don't miss it with its beautiful bright red facade. Intimate atmosphere of a small district bar just steps from Crillon Square and just opposite the oldest hotel in Avignon, the hotel of Europe. The Marigny is a kind of small popular oasis in the chic neighborhood. There is a good feeling: the atmosphere is rather family-friendly, prices are very affordable, and the whole press (regional, sporting and national) as well as a tobacco flow. The owners of the sites welcome the long-awaited people with great smiles and small friendly ribbons in the back. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Especially recommended in summer to enjoy the terrace while not suffering from the cagnard!

The crowded establishment at the festival proves to be much calmer the rest of the year. We come here before you will pout for the deliciously shaded terrace that is suitable for discussions between friends with a drink. The chef, quiet, makes salads to small onions or small, simple dishes. A café that is especially worth the detour in summer for its situation far from urban unrest and for the fountain of the tune place Louis-Pasteur, in which we gladly trempe its feet. It is also popular with university students, who have only a few metres to do to rally it.

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.

Opened in the summer of 2021, La Soifferie is attracting a lot of attention among the new bars in Marseille. A vintage decoration, a relaxed atmosphere that fits well with the Cours Julien district, people come here to taste delicious home-made cocktails, punches, a selection of craft beers or organic wines. A few small plates to go with it all and you're off to a great start to the evening. There is no doubt that at La Soifferie, it will not only be a question of thirst but also of moments of life.

Dimitri Tikhonkikh, a winegrower in Sannes in the Luberon, opened La Bonne Quille in Le Puy Ste Réparade, a few kilometers from Aix, with Hency, Cave and wine bar. The place is convivial, and it has to be said that the 2 partners are bon vivants. There's no fuss here, just sit out on the terrace around the barrels, or share the big table inside to enjoy a plate cooked by Dimitri or homemade tapas with a glass of wine. Great welcome, superb wines with Hency's advice, beers, spirits, delicatessen.

My Beers is, as its name suggests, a space entirely dedicated to beer. Blonde, brown, amber, hopped, roasted... you will find, on the displays of the store located in the new Shopping Promenade, an incredible choice of beers, from the most classic to the most original. The decor is warm, the atmosphere friendly. It is a perfect place for aperitifs with friends, around a tasting board that includes a sausage, a terrine and a Saint-Marcellin.
An excellent address.

At the bottom of the Cours Franklin-Roosevelt, a discreet address that deserves to be known, a few steps from the Réformés. Behind an attractive frontage, we enter a rather surprising café, with its counter and the smiling welcome of the owner, then a room in enfilade where you can enjoy your coffee, tea or pastry on a sofa or on cushions. A Zen place, which offers teas and herbal teas, ayurvedic infusions and homemade blends, some with CBD. On the pastry side, gluten-free, vegan, classic, all homemade by the chef, just like the quiches and cakes served for lunch. We like to spend a relaxing and greedy moment there.

This bar, situated in the extension of the Toche brewery, invites you to enjoy a champagne cup or a cocktail. The ideal place to start - or finish - your evening.

Beautiful fin de siècle façade and large terrace on the Cours Jean-Jaurès. Le Siècle is a Mecca of Balmean life, where you can enjoy a morning café croissant, lunch from Monday to Friday, or start the evening with an aperitif. The brasserie-style à la carte menu includes daily specials, salad formulas, grilled meats... All cooked on site. Plates are copious, but you'll need to save a little room for dessert, which is served by the jug or with good local wine. Good value for money. Warm welcome.

Hosted by Greg, Via Notte is a wine bar that hosts many FC Istres supporters. It is possible to watch the games on the big screen and it is not uncommon to see players in the third half-time well fried.

The gallery café of the Varieties, the cinema independent of the centre, is a haven of peace to extract from the constant movement on the Canebière. Well kept secret, it doesn't show its presence in front! With its large spaces, its vintage furniture of the 1970 s, it is the ideal place to wait for its next sitting or simply to ask for the abundant cultural communication (free exits of the city, booklets, flyers). Comfortably installed on the molestine sofas or in one of the large plastic armchairs, you will not be disturbed to immerse yourself in reading. They know how to make an appointment before or after a canvas. You don't have to go to the movies to stop here. A gallery space (pictures or pictures of Marseille) gives all the atmospheric centre air, with this zinc counter, in the middle where you can order a glass of wine, beer, tapas. Organize thematic evenings around city events (festivals, retrospectives, etc.), with buffets, openings, cocktails.

This wine bar is one of the trendiest places in town! In the pedestrianised city centre, the place invites you to have a good time when you leave the office, at aperitif time, or in the evening. Most of the nectars served come from the south-east of France, where quality is no longer an empty word.... As for the "nibbles" offered to accompany the libations, on which bull sausage, roasted camembert, pata negra or bellota jabugo compete for the limelight, they make your mouth water... Or rather the wine! To be consumed in moderation, of course.

Good coffee and good tea, sitting or standing, inside or on the terrace, this is what this historic tea/tea shop in Marseille offers! Created by the Standing Family in 1932, the Standing Café is now one of the last rotations of the Phocéean city. The grain bags and the time mills are there to testify. Cafes come from the most famous countries: Guatemala, Brazil, India, Bolivia, Jamaica, Kenya, Burma, Papua… Also, a wide choice of teas (Darjeeling, Ceylan, Earl Gray, China, Japan…) or perfumed. In summer, choose Mangajo iced tea, apple grenade or lemon apple. Don't miss a little softness: Shuttle, home cookie, the famous Fouque nougat or still to test absolutely, the Marseilles bar of the Standing Café, a bar of black chocolate, milk or nougatine! The staff is always friendly. Discover or rediscover!

You are challenged to find something more atypical! In the middle of a commercial area, on the floor of a kitchen, the Eight Roof Top is a real good surprise. Perfectly laid out and planted with trees, nicely decorated by an artist from Toulon, this cocktail bar promises good moments of relaxation at the end of the day with, as a bonus, the sunset behind the Mont Faron! For those who are a little hungry, cheese or charcuterie platters and a few specialties will accompany your cocktails. An intimate address for enchanted evenings.

Taking the place of Melting Pot, Vice Versa opened in late October 2022 in this corner of the Cours Julien, which comes alive at weekends. It's a bar where you can enjoy imaginative cocktails, created by a bartender who has worked at such benchmark establishments as Caribou and Mama Shelter. You can also relax over a selection of beers, wines and soft drinks. When your legs start to itch, a small door opens and leads to a basement room where djs will keep you dancing until the end of the night.

Fancy a cocktail? Push the door, or sit on the terrace (depending on the season) of l'Heure bleue, THE cocktail bar of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Mojito, tequila sunrise, bramble, the young and trendy team that runs the establishment masters perfectly the mixtures to last until the end of the night! Mediterranean tapas and smoothies are also on the menu. Here's a little riddle: which cocktail is made of vodka, blue curaçao and fresh yellow lemon juice? the "Blue Hour" of course!

La Maison du bon café is a well-known roasting company in Châteaurenard since 1958; all the products are made there. But it is also two shops with a tea room: one in Châteaurenard and one in Saint-Rémy. In a very chic atmosphere, you can taste an impressive choice of teas, coffees, chocolates and other infusions. A wide range that will make you discover new flavours like this Pink Sakura green tea with its sweet cherry scent. The tasting can be accompanied by macaroons, chocolates or cupcakes.

An address that was lacking in a Panier that tended to get drowsy too easily at the end of the day. At Tout vin à point, we take place in a nice little wine bar, which also serves as a dining bar. The owner will advise you on a nice selection of natural wines according to your preferences. A very lively place, where exhibitions and concerts take turns to never get bored. On the tasting side, to accompany your glasses of wine, there are boards of cold cuts, cheeses or mixed, but also a choice of Breton buckwheat pancakes. Conviviality assured and atmosphere that takes every time. It's a great place to meet people and it's a guarantee for the life of the neighborhood.

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!

Emki Pop is first and foremost a name that will remind you of delicious popsicle sticks. A local brand born in 2016 and delicious sorbet sticks that can now be found in many outlets in the city. But since 2017, Emki Pop also rhymes with a cafe, the first sedentary address after months of work in a scooter. A nice little café in the Vauban district, where you can taste the house specialties, the latest ice cream novelties, but also a wide choice of gourmet hot drinks and some very fun. Some small tables on a raised terrace in front of the store. A real charming little address.

Mathias and Clémentine offer you a unique address in Forcalquier, which is different from the rest of the town! A unique place to party, to dance, with a consistent musical program. La Boca also offers themed evenings on Fridays and groups in summer. It's also a warm place to have a good time with games, tapas, vegan appetizers, cheese, cold cuts and mixed drinks, accompanied by delicious cocktails, wines or good local beers. A nice place to share with your family.

The Longchamp district is rich in good addresses, but it was lacking a coffee-shop worthy of the name where you could enjoy good specialty coffees at any hour, complemented by a pastry or lunch on the go. That's exactly what the young couple behind Pollux thought. Two conversions later, we find ourselves in a café with a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. It's like being in northern Europe or the United States, but with the conviviality that makes our city so charming. Local coffees from Brûlerie Moka in particular.

Amateurs of rum, you hit the right door! In a musical atmosphere of reggae, salsa, funk, African and world music, Le Patio boasts a map of more than 60 home arranged rums. The atmosphere is often at the meeting, the address is nice.
