Book a private restaurant at Marseille's Old Port

Organising an event at Marseille's Old Port means offering your guests an exceptional setting facing the port. Au Bout Du Quai restaurant, located at 1 Avenue de Saint-Jean, has two terraces accommodating up to 80 guests: a covered terrace seating 40 and an open-air terrace seating 40. Whether for a birthday, corporate seminar, thesis defence or family gathering, our team adapts to your needs to create an unforgettable moment.

Homemade cuisine for your event

For each private event, our chef prepares a personalised menu using fresh, local produce. Our Mediterranean cuisine showcases fresh fish from our Marseille fishermen, seasonal vegetables and Provencal flavours. We offer packages to suit all budgets, from cocktail receptions to seated meals with table service. Contact us on 04 91 99 53 36 to discuss your project.

Organising your private booking, step by step

Booking Au Bout Du Quai follows a simple path. It all starts with a first contact, by phone on 04 91 99 53 36 or via our online form, to specify the planned date, the number of guests and the type of event. We then look at availability and the most suitable space: covered terrace, outdoor terrace or full privatisation. Next comes the menu, built with the chef from fresh, local produce, followed by a personalised quote. The booking is confirmed once the quote is approved. The earlier the request comes in, the wider the choice, particularly in high season between May and September.

Choosing the right space for your event

The restaurant offers three configurations. The covered terrace, seating up to 40, suits intimate dinners and celebrations that call for a sheltered setting. The outdoor terrace, also seating up to 40, plays the open-air card with its port view, ideal for a cocktail reception or a summer meal. For larger events, the full privatisation combines both spaces and welcomes up to 80 guests. The choice depends on the format: a small birthday gathering does not need the same space as a corporate seminar or a large family meal.

Budget and quote for a private booking in Marseille

There is no single rate for a private booking: the budget depends on the number of guests, the menu chosen and the format selected, from a cocktail reception to a seated meal with table service. This is why every request leads to a personalised quote rather than a fixed price. To get an estimate tailored to your event at Marseille's Old Port, contact us on 04 91 99 53 36 or via the form, specifying the date, the number of guests and your menu preferences. We come back quickly with a detailed proposal.
