Culinary festival

"Mars à table"

March 8 to 22, 2025

In Marseille, cuisine is more than just a taste sensation: it’s a true cultural heritage, a means of gathering, sharing and opening up to others. From March 8 to 22, the city of Marseille and the Office de Tourisme, des Loisirs et des Congrès are launching the first edition of Mars à Table festival. The event invites residents and visitors alike to discover or rediscover the wealth of local and Mediterranean culinary delights, featuring seasonal produce alongside the city’s restaurateurs.
