Les Halles de la Major - Marseille

Quality food, great service, polite and friendly staff, this was a great find, near the Mucem and the Cathedral. Innovative dishes all cooked to order, lots of choice, reasonable prices. The concept is simple and perfect for large groups of friends as you are given your own number, you walk around the different food stalls and counters to choose your food and when you leave you pay your own bill. At the same time the friendly seating arrangements allow large numbers to sit together in a very good atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We had a good lunch here but I was disappointed as it was not at all what I was expecting from the description. There was a single table with some vegetables for sale which really made it just a cursory market . It seemed more like decoration. And there were a number of food stations with very limited menus and even more limited because we arrived for lunch a little after 2 pm. It said open until 5, but they were out of or maybe just not interested in cooking anything to order at that point. There was a seafood station with a selection of 5-6 seafood salads to choose from. There was a pizza pasta station but I was told no to pasta. There was a vegetarian station with a variety of cold vegetable plates falafel burrata tuna salad. There was a grilled kabob station with a burger on the menu but they were out of that which left only 3 kabob options or a steak. There was an asian noodle rice station with 5-6 plates to choose from. There was dessert station and there was a cafe bar station. That 's it. So barely a marketplace and not even a large food court. Which was fine. But not at all what I imagined and have seen in many other cities. The food we ordered was good and the setting was nice.

Very good products, fresh. The concept: we take a number at the reception, we choose from different poles (Italian, fish, meat... , rates are displayed and we install where we want. When we're done, we come back with our number to settle our addition. Welcome.

Restaurant with a different concept: you order at different food or drink stands with a number and you see the head of the dishes, then the servers bring us what you ordered. Nice location, very friendly servers.

Original concept, generous trays for tapas with family or friends. From choice, it's friendly for a moment in the sun. Relaxed service, nice but pro and fast for snack tapas.
