Epicerie L'IDEAL

A wonderful little place that both sells items to buy and is a restaurant. We enjoyed a simple but very tasty meal. The zucchini soup was noteworthy. Highly recommend visiting.

Loved the atmosphere, food and wine. Service was excellent- made us feel so welcome and held a table for us even though they don't usually take reservations. Thank you so much- we had an excellent lunch!

Favorite spot in all of Marseille. Perfect any time, but best for lunch, great for wine, even better for groceries. Staff is super gracious, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about their menu and products.

Beautiful place with very warm and welcoming people who really take care of you! Best sandwich I had in ages 🥖🫶merci chef for making me the best vegan sandwich!

The restaurant has a new menu every day. I went with three friends and we enjoyed everything that we tasted. I'd definitely go back! Also, you can buy the ingredients that were used to make your food. I'm not sure if they share their recipes though. ;)

An incredible unique dining experience. The menu seems to change daily and the dining happens within/just outside what appears to be a specialty grocery store. The food was delicious and this was one of the most memorable meals that we had in Marseille.

Beautiful store with an extreme amount of yummy condiments, spices, etc., including many very local and regional things that are hard to find outside the Provence, let alone outside France. Spend some time and money here and find lots of delicious ingredients.

Charming Italian grocery that also serves a very good lunch. The staff is charming if a bit distracted.

Insufferable bobo magnet. Brought my friend to show how the neighborhood is getting ruined, and to see the bobos clustered into a small safe space Anyway, decide to buy some over-priced truffle oil. Impossible to know where the caisse is, as cluster of local bobo creatures generally swarming in open spaces in a combo of m'as-tu-vu / maybe let's pay. A woman who may also be the owner was flitting from behind supposed caisse and full tables taking orders, but not serving anyone either waiting to pay or trying to buy something. I tried to find out if we were in fact near the caisse. Since this is France, she pretended like this wasn't a problem, and that I'm the weird one. And of course didn't fix the problem. I exited the place to take some air and let French friend finish the wait, as my yanqui aggression was too elevated for the situation. Owner/lady patronizingly asked him what he was going to use the truffle oil for (quoi?!). He said cocktails and she was surprised. Whatever, bros.
