Can you sum up Babouche restaurant in Marseille in 6 words? A simple ticket to Morocco. Nestled on Rue Sainte, a stone’s throw from the Old Port, this temple of North African cuisine immerses you in an enveloping atmosphere, where Berber décor and real couscous come together. In a warm and colourful atmosphere, you’ll share fragrant dishes and a few laughs, all punctuated by a warm welcome. In short, an address with heart… and flavour! and flavour!
A journey for the eyes and the palate
As soon as you walk through the door, Marrakech opens its arms to you: red zelliges on the walls, hanging lanterns, decorative slippers (yes, literally) and a cosy atmosphere to match. At Babouche, the atmosphere is pleasant, with a bohemian touch and, above all, ideal for catching up on a North African speciality.
The warm welcome immediately puts you at ease and invites you to stay and enjoy the energy of the place. The relaxed atmosphere is ideal for an evening with friends or a family dinner, but you can also come alone or as a couple for an intimate gastronomic moment. The oriental music in the background will transport you even more to the souks of Marrakech. A place where you can feel at home and at the same time be somewhere else: that’s the magic of Babouche.
Moroccan and North African delicacies
When it comes to cuisine, get ready for a festival of flavours. At Babouche, the menu is short but meticulous, with the great classics of Moroccan and North African gastronomy: ultra-generous royal couscous, lamb tagine with prunes that melts in your mouth or a surprising tagine with sardine meatballs, a nod to Marseille. These delicacies are accompanied by hummus, taktouka or halloumi for those with a sweet tooth. The meat is tender, the spices perfectly balanced and the portions honest. Everything is homemade, including the traditional desserts: baklawa, oriental pastries and orange and cinnamon salad.
Babouche also caters for vegetarians and halal diets, with a selection of options to suit all tastes. The cherry on top of the tajine is a rich and varied wine and cocktail list. We recommend you try a mint-based house cocktail, a creation that adds a touch of sweetness to your meal.
