Hosting at l'Estéou
A whole venue to book for your event
Hiring a private restaurant means owning a space for the length of a meal: no neighbouring tables, a dedicated service and a menu built for your party. At l'Estéou, we turn the dining room, the upstairs or the terrace into a private setting, a few metres from the Pointe Rouge port.
From a table of ten to a reception of a hundred guests, the house adjusts the space, the menu and the pace of service to your event. You choose the occasion, we handle the rest — right down to the setting sun over the bay.
Your occasions
Every event finds its place
Birthdays & celebrations
A birthday dinner, a christening or a family celebration on the terrace, with a shared menu and the sunset as a backdrop.
Group meals
Tables of friends, associations, small weddings: we gather your group around cuisine of the sea, upstairs or in the private dining room.
Corporate events
Business lunches, seminars, team evenings or launches: a professional, Mediterranean setting, minutes from the city centre.
Our spaces
The room, the upstairs or the terrace — to fit your party
The upstairs of l'Estéou can be hired for groups who want a space apart, out of sight, without leaving the spirit of the house. The lower room, with its banquettes and bar, welcomes large parties; the terrace opens the meal onto the Mediterranean.
Depending on the season and the number of guests, we hire out one space or the whole venue. Set menu or à la carte, sunset aperitif, plated service or buffet: the formula is shaped with you, ahead of time, so the day itself leaves nothing to chance.
The atmosphere
The sea, the light and a table in no hurry
The best setting for an event in Marseille? A terrace open to the deep blue, the string lights coming on at nightfall and the scent of the grill in the sea air. You share, you toast, you linger — and your evening settles in without a glance at the clock, facing the Pointe Rouge sunset.
A Pointe Rouge address
A few metres from the port, in the heart of the 8th
Set at 1 Avenue de la Pointe Rouge, l'Estéou owes its reputation to its setting as much as to its cooking: the fish comes from the neighbouring quay and you host almost with your feet in the water, in the spirit of a Marseille cabanon.
From the Prado, Escale Borély, Bonneveine, Mazargues or Roucas Blanc, a few minutes are all it takes to reach your event, from Tuesday to Sunday. Easy access for your guests, parking nearby and the sea in full view.
