Bar des 13 Coins

Seems this place gets a bit of a polarising review due to the fact that two teams work the space..? Seems to be an unusual arrangement but regardless, the food and wine we were served was delicious, the price is great and the service was very friendly. Very much enjoyed the location, the seating outside was fantastic and located in a small square that acts as a lovely suntrap. I couldn’t fault it, the Salade du Polpe and Hamburger Provence were both great.

Very nice quiet local bar. After a long day walking and came across very friendly and different place. Staff both girls were amazingly friendly Had their house cocktails le 13 coins just amazing We did not eat here so no food reviews. Ambiance neighborhood place.

I planned to have a nice time at this place, however upon the very first interaction with the waitress I honestly just wanted to get up and leave. Never have I been served by someone who was so rude and stressed. Their social media has an apparently really outdated menu, because when we asked for a cider the waitress very rudely said they didn't have it and she didn't know what that was. When serving, both drinks were basically thrown on the table. My advice to the blonde waitress is: if you can't stand serving, then don't. If you hate your job, we also hated being served by you. We had an experience of Karen's diner, without going to Karen's diner. I was honestly so shocked that the only thing I could do was laugh at my own disgrace of choosing to have a drink at this place rather than any other. The place wasn't even full

I thought this bar was great! The bartender and the staff were all very friendly and the patio seating was awesome.

It's a lovely brasserie with tables under the trees providing natural shade. The portions are big and the taste is nice. The service was kind really fast and believe me, we were so hungry that every minute counted! Despite the fact that the waitress did not speak English so good, she tried her best to help us and in the end everything went smoothly with the order. We all liked this place and we noted it down in case we return in Marseille.

Plain and simple, these people are THIEVES and they overcharge tourists. They take advantage of the nice area in front of the nice old bar that they probably got their hands on in some shady way. They are obviously not professional hospitality service providers but they got you in their tourist trap. Definitely to avoid. To respond to the comment of the owner and give more detail of what happened, I asked to see the pricelist before I paid, but he said there is NO pricelist, and he just kept showing me a bill of €7 that he expected me to pay. But all bars etc are obliged to have a list with the prices they charge, so as not to charge each person whatever they want. Especially for a bad beer that normally should not cost more than €2,5 When initially I asked the waitress to see a menu, she said they don't have a menu, and they have "the usual stuff" so go and figure how unprofessional, tourist scammers they are.

It was average place with nice waitress. I would give it 3,5 star if I could ;). The waiting time for ordering was long, but then food came pretty fast. Everything tasted good. This bar/pub has lovely surroundings and it was nice lunch, but I think toilet should be renovated a little.

Kiddie meal approved by the kiddo, the adults tried the calamars á la créme d' ail and the le provençal burger both were amazing! We knew no french and were received well.

Great spot for a meal on the terrace. Aioli was good but needed a bit more on the plate - octopus stew was tasty Service friendly and fast

Food was bland and not tasty. French fries were okay (only things seasoned). Service was lacking and waited over 20 minutes for service to order and 30 minutes for food to come out. Ambiance is nice, outdoors, under a tree so watch out for projectiles. Waited 20 minutes for the check, just for the waitress to come back and tell us we have to pay inside after telling us she'll be right back with the check. It's a trap for tourists. La nourriture était fade et pas savoureuse. Les frites étaient bonnes (seulement des choses assaisonnées). Le service manquait et a attendu plus de 20 minutes pour que le service commande et 30 minutes pour que la nourriture sorte. L'ambiance est agréable, à l'extérieur, sous un arbre, alors faites attention aux projectiles. J'ai attendu 20 minutes pour le chèque, juste pour que la serveuse revienne et nous dise que nous devons payer à l'intérieur après nous avoir dit qu'elle reviendrait tout de suite avec le chèque. C'est un piège pour les touristes.

This is the super cute little bar in Marseilles. It was our first night in France, after flying in to Barcelona and taking the train in. We just wanted a drink and a quick bite. This was perfect. We even tried the signature drink, the 13 coins. One of the ingredients is grappa. It is creamy though. We were leery. Well it was not as bad as it could've been, it did not go down smoothly. As Americans we don't drink a lot of grapa over here so it's a little jet fuel even when mixed with other things. It probably was some of the most palatable grappa drinks I've ever had though. It was a good way to end the evening. The other drinks were amazing. The food was great. We had olives and cheese. We had a couple of other items that I can't recall (prob due to that last drink ) but everything was quick,cheap and great. Very cute little neighborhood hang out.

Great quaint place to grab a drink and a meal. Highly recommended, great service. Speaks English.

Went on an afternoon during the World Cup so not a lot of restaurants were open. We were pleasantly surprised to find this little cafe. I got the beef tartare and my wife got the fish of the day. The food was excellent. The tartare was spicy and came with a really good salad with a balsamic vinaigrette of some sort. Also came with fries which I did not love but weren't bad. The atmosphere was a bit loud, next to a street but the food was great and the waiter was very kind though we did get passed over when her shift ended and a new waiter came in. Probably biggest reason for the 4 star.

After walking up the hill to see the interesting "Visages" or "Faces" exhibition at Centre de la Vieille Charité, I continued my museums tour towards the Villa Méditeranée. On my way, I stopped by at a nice little square to refuel. The location of Bar Des 13 Coins is very nice, despite the occasional "tourist train" passing by. I ordered chicken on bread with cheese and tomatoes. In general, I am not big fan of tomatoes, but together with the herbs this dish was exceptional. So simple, yet so tasty. As I got used to in Marseille, the white wine I had with my lunch was pretty tasty as well. And, the waitress even knew English, which helped in making this meal slightly less complicated than at other places in Marseille. Good food, nice wine, lovely service - Bar Des 13 Coins definitely has all the ingredients to make me happy.

Such a cool, well run bar for drinks or food. Service is excellent. We've had the same (pretty, black, young) waitress twice who took very good care of us. First time there were six of us with two kids between lunch and dinner serving but she offered us a huge charcuterie plate for only 14 euro, plus the best sardine dip I've ever had. Yesterday she was just as good and kindly remembered us! Not to mention this place is historic - mentioned in Jean-paul Izzo's marseille trilogy books. A must Panier stop.
