Herbs & Seasonning

Since its launch in 2018, Kouss·Kouss has been exploring the flavours, variations and sounds of this great transcultural dish. Following on from harissa (2022), blue fish (2023), a thousand and one seeds (2024) and chickpeas (2025), the festival is once again adopting a thematic approach, dedicating its latest edition to herbs and spices. From Belle de Mai to Plan d’Aou, via the Vieux-Port, Noailles, Les Goudes and all the neighbourhoods where the energy of Marseille’s culinary scene pulsates, nearly 200 venues are invited to come alive to the rhythm of aromatic herbs: iconic restaurants, up-and-coming eateries, community canteens, residents’ associations, third places, bakeries, patisseries, greengrocers…

This 9th edition of Kouss·Kouss, which forms part of L’Été marseillais, is co-produced by the Marseille Tourist, Leisure and Convention Bureau, the City of Marseille, Kouss-Kouss is produced by I.C.I – Cuisines de l’extraordinaire, Les Grandes Tables & Marseille Shopping.
