We decided to try Café Bovo based on the excellent reviews and its location near our hotel. It was a great decision. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were brilliant, particularly our knowledgeable and hilarious waiter (with an excellent taste in music!). We also very much appreciated the chef's offer to adapt the dishes to our taste, which encouraged us to try ingredients that were new to us. We enjoyed our dinner so much that we returned a second time before we left Marseille and the experience was just as wonderful as the first time. The ambience wasn't luxurious or fancy, but it was comfortable and welcoming; we especially liked the plants and fairy lights in the front window.

What an amazing little place. The service was so warm and welcoming. The food was very surprising, original and superb. The overall atmosphere was amazing. They have 9 dishes on the menu, all looked very good. We decided to share all nine dishes. We were happy that we did. The overall experience was truly remarkable.

Uniquely French innovative food. In old port neighborhood. Delicious creations in authentic atmosphere. Staff tried very hard to overcome language and cultural disconnects.

Welcome & Atmosphere 🌟 When we arrived, we were greeted warmly, setting a positive tone for our visit. The restaurant wasn’t crowded in the afternoon, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. Menu & Service 📜🍽️ Although the menu is only available in French, the staff were incredibly friendly. They introduced the dishes by showing us some of what they were going to serve. They made a genuine effort to explain everything in English, which we greatly appreciated. Staff Passion ❤️ The passion of the staff for their work was evident and added a special touch to our dining experience. Food Quality 🍲🍰 Every dish we tried was delicious, including the dessert. Overall Experience 🌟 It was a delightful experience, and we would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and warm hospitality.

We did not feel confident about our choice of Cafe Bovo for dinner initially. The menu was quite small. We ordered house cocktails to start with and these were disappointing. But then the food began to arrive and that was all really superb. A very clever chef! Add in a bottle of very good house white wine and great background music and this turned out to be a great choice of restaurant, conveniently very close to Le Vieux Port too.

Excellent quality food and nice ambiance. We only spoke English so only one server could help us which hindered service. I would go back to place again.

My wife and I found this restaurant via a TheFork review. We were not disappointed. The staff were brilliant - fun, vibrant, careful, respectful, knowledgeable. The food was outstanding- the flavors were wonderful. We went the tapas route with 5 choices plus desert. We were full. Good value for money - Euro 73 which included 2 glasses of wine. We were in Provence for 16 days with many meals out and this was by far the best. Highly recommend.
