The tapas were very delicious and the service was very friendly. They have great vegetarian options.

I was so disappointed by this bar. My Airbnb was a 5 min walk away and so I walked up and down Rue de La Republique many times during my trip to Marseille. This place always caught my eye. I liked the look of the outdoor area. The decor and the crowd looked just my kinda vibe. On my last night in Marseille I decided to treat myself and stop for drink. I wanted to sit outside, enjoy a cocktail, people watch and soak up Marseille street life before I returned to London the next day. The waiter wasn’t friendly. He looked at me with a “why are you sitting here” type of look on his face. I asked for the drinks menu. After seeing there was a happy hour on I asked for details and decided to go with a caiprinhia. It was so good! I wanted to order another except the waiter was nowhere to be found. I sat there for ages. He didn’t come check if I was okay, he didn’t come to ask if wanted another drink, whether I wanted the bill - nothing. Felt like I could have gotten up and walked away within paying. In the end the lack of service and the lack of attention put me off of ordering another drink. Let me take myself somewhere that acts like they want my custom. I went inside paid and left. A shame as the place looks great and the cocktail was good too.

We only came in for a drink and a rest on a hot Marseille day, it was quiet and a chill vibe. It's a very cool set up with the bar/restaurant and then co-working space attached. The interior design is slick, and the mojito I had was bang on, the staff were nice and next time I will come and try the food which looks great!

I reserved a table from Babel, confirmation mail arrived. When I arrived restaurant, I was told by a waitress that they had fixed menu for that day and given a piece of paper listing menu. I have never seen such a rude behaviour in my life. This is not a restaurant , it’s a bad joke. They could have informed me of what they could offer as a reply to my reservation request. If you want to spoil your night with nasty surprises, this is the right place for you.

I had a vegetable soup, which was the only vegan option, but for them to have one at all is rare in Marseille!

Great ambiance, music is top tier. Was initially sad about the lunch menu not being available but was pleasantly surprised by the topas!

During my stay at their coliving space I sat at their bar and ordered couple of drinks and food. Food was great. However one of the waitress was very arrogant and disrespectful. She provided a very poor quality service! Shame on her ! I submitting a complaint and the rest of the staff were understanding!

Food 5 stars Service 4 stars Atmosphere 5 stars The food was great. We came for dinner and were aware that tappas were the only dining option. This is more of a lunch place than anything else, so just be aware of that before rocking up to dinner. That being said, every plate tasted fresh and delicious and arrived very well presented. We ordered the Burrata, the Assiette de San Daniele, and the Hummus. Service is French service. If you're expecting western style service where they check in on you every 5 seconds, you'll be disappointed. You order, you wait, you get your drinks, you enjoy your drinks, your meal arrives. You order another drink. You chill out for an hour and digest your dinner. No rush. Relax. Enjoy. The staff on our visit were not the greatest at english and our french was atrocious but we ordered dinner and drinks without any issues and the staff were lovely and welcoming. Definitely would come back again.
