The Mediterranean meeting point of Pointe Rouge
Set at 1 Avenue de la Pointe Rouge, l'Estéou is the neighbourhood restaurant turned towards the sea: the Mediterranean begins where the terrace ends. You come for lunch by the boats, linger over an aperitif and dine as the sun dips into the sea.
Here, the beach sets the pace. The menu follows the catch, the terrace follows the light, and the service takes its time — the time of a genuine southern moment, in Marseille, Tuesday to Sunday, all year round.
The best of the Mediterranean, served with cool feet
Whole grilled fish, red-tuna tartares and sashimi, seafood, pasta and wood-fired pizzas: our kitchen celebrates Mediterranean produce with no fuss and just the right dose of Marseille generosity.
The fish of the day changes with the catch, the aïoli stays homemade and the desserts are made to share. Honest, simple cooking, meant to be enjoyed with a glass of rosé in hand, facing the beach.

The atmosphere
When the sun sets over Pointe Rouge beach
The best moment? Late afternoon, when the light gilds the sand and the terrace fills up. The aperitif lingers, a seafood platter is shared, and dinner settles in before you notice the time passing.
