Seasonal bistro classics with garden tables & harbor views
"Sepia and its outdoor tapas bar, Julis, have the most peaceful, green setting inside hilltop Parc Pierre Puget, plus views of the cityscape and a little slice of the Med. Lunch at Sepia is a la carte, with mains from €23 and a three-course dinner (€57) of things like pork shoulder with black rice and wild leeks or a fish tartare. Julis is more accessible and its menu a bit more global, with small plate options like grilled sardines with brûléed oranges and chimichurri, or chicken teriyaki with figs and pickled shiitakes. Come for sunset cocktails, like a zingy ginger julep or a mezcal negroni. Reservations are recommended for Sepia, but you can walk in at Julis." - sophie friedman
"This little eatery near the beach is perfect for lunch. It is run by a pair of catering pros – she is in the dining room while her hubbie, who boasts stints in fine restaurants, helms the kitchen. Whether in the dining space with its maritime decor, or on the lovely timber-decked terrace, you will sample vibrant, legible food that warms the soul: tartare of sea bream fished off the coast of Valras; pollock, aioli and black rice; creamy coconut and pineapple marinated in ginger." - Michelin Inspector

"This guinguette perched on the Colline Puget promises an incredible view of the city and the sea as well as a colourful dining experience. In the kitchen, the chef's go-to ingredient is seafood, but he also likes to combine fish with a meat sauce (or vice versa), in dishes such as yellowtail with Albufera-style sauce. Next door is Julis – their offshoot wine and tapas bar, which is very popular with locals from the Saint-Victor and Endoume neighbourhoods for after-work drinks." - Michelin Inspector
"An established restaurant with a strong focus on guest experience, honored as a semifinalist for Outstanding Hospitality and recognized as a repeat nominee." - Naomi Waxman
