Celebrate your birthday by the sea
At Pointe Rouge, l'Estéou hosts your birthdays on a terrace above the harbour: a festive Mediterranean table, just minutes from central Marseille.
The address for big occasions
A successful birthday comes down first to the place that sets the tone. Facing the Pointe Rouge harbour, l'Estéou opens its warm dining room and its terrace turned towards the open sea: enough to blow out the candles far from the noise of the city centre, only a few minutes' drive away.
For two, with friends or around a large family table: the house loves meals that bring people together and gives the party all the time it needs, Tuesday to Sunday, all year round.

From a table for two to the big gathering
The birthday for two
A table for two at sunset, a seafood platter and a glass of rosé: the perfect backdrop for an evening that matters.
The birthday with friends
The whole gang around wood-fired pizzas and fish to share, almost with your feet in the sand, garlands lit.
The big family table
Three generations gathered facing the harbour: the dining room and terrace welcome large tables for a festive lunch or dinner.
The private table
For a surprise birthday or a more intimate moment, a dedicated space can be reserved on request.
When the sun sets over Pointe Rouge
The best slot? Late afternoon, when the light gilds the harbour and the terrace fills up. You share a platter, linger over the aperitif, and the cake arrives as night falls over the sea — let us know when booking and we'll handle the candles.
Mediterranean cuisine that knows how to party
Whole grilled fish, red-tuna tartares and sashimi, seafood platters, pasta and wood-fired pizzas: l'Estéou's menu sits in the middle of the table and is savoured together, from the youngest guest to the finest gourmet. Choose à la carte, or build a set menu for the whole table.
Diets, allergies and surprises are prepared in advance: mention it when booking and the birthday meal will run without a hitch.
