Reviews Summary
Coquille - Bistrot Marin garners praise for its incredibly fresh seafood, particularly the mussels and oysters, and its delicious wood-fired pizzas. Diners often commend the friendly and attentive service, as well as the charming seaside atmosphere. However, some reviews mention that the food can be mediocre to bad and unreasonably expensive, with one diner experiencing exceptionally poor service and an unpleasant incident.
"We booked a table for 6 people, and it was amazing! I had mussels with fries, and they were so yummy—everyone should try them.
We shared a big plate of seafood, and it was super fresh and tasty. We also had some wine and sparkling water.
The restaurant is really pretty, which made it even more fun. Make sure to book ahead because it can get busy. If you love seafood, you’ll love this place!"
Fran Benedito
"A very good seafood restaurant (and Pizzas) right next to the Vieux Port in central Marseille. The Coquille St Jacques carpaccio appetiser was delicious as was Merlu roti with spring vegetables. The wine card is substantial with a good variety of prices. The staff is warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant is large and thematic and therefor less personal than the others we visited during our long weekend. That said we still had a lovely evening."
Manuel Malle
"When searching for a dinner place, I saw this restaurant was recommended in many forums because of the good food which I must truly agree on! Additionally, I also had a very pleasant experience there with the staff. The young miss who served at my table was truly attentive and caring, she recommended me great wine and despite having many guests at the time and me not having a reservation, I felt very welcome."

Les 8 meilleures pizzas de Marseille
Si Coquille est plus connue pour ses délices iodées, son immense four à bois crache aussi de formidables pizzas en quatre versions : fromage, anchois, sardines ou moitié-moitié. Parfait pour s’aiguiser les crocs avant d’attaquer sur la terrasse un plateau de fruits de mer, un poisson entier à partager ou un tartare de bœuf au couteau, que l’on lustrera d’une Margarita, d’un verre de rouge camarguais ou d’un thé glacé maison. Un vrai bon plan à un jet de caillou du port, avec service adorable en sus.
