Amazing seasonal food - Edit
I’ve visited Mariposas a couple of times and the food was always outstanding. Easily in the top 5 of best vegan restaurants I’ve ever been to. They even make veggies I don’t particularly like taste absolutely fantastic. High quality ingredients, very creative dishes and lovely service, make me already look forward to my next time in Marseille!

Bonne adresse, lenteur du service à revoir - Edit
Très bon et original du plat au dessert, restez sur les propositions maisons comme les cocktails car le pastis n'est pas top. L'attente a été conséquente donc peut être que le 1er service est un meilleur choix si vous êtes affamés.
Read morePros: Les plats sont très bons
Cons: Lenteur du service et des oublis, Pastis et café pas top, En terrasse chaleur extrême même le soir

Incroyable ! - Edit
Je mangeais du Moussaka et mon père a mangeais des pâtes. Tout était très bon avec les bonnes proportions. Bon atmosphère. C’est au cœur du Cours Julien donc emplacement parfait.
Read morePour les anglophones (dont il y avait beaucoup y compris nous-mêmes), les serveurs et serveuses parlent bien anglais.

I ate Moussaka and my father ate pasta. Everything was very good with good proportions. Good atmosphere. It is in the heart of Cours Julien so perfect location.
For those who does English (of which there were many including ourselves) the waiters spoke English well.

Tasty kitchen - Edit
Waw ! I knew the reputation of this restaurant, and in the end we try it tonight.
Read moreWhat a masterclass !
A true cooking, with smart and delicious associations, combinations.
We eat fantastic chakchouka with scrambled tofu, The deepenes of the flavour were unbelievable ( tomato sauce with cumin) and Indian fried fennel as starter.
As main dishes : Pasta candied lemon sauce ! Amazing !
And what about the Mushroom Kebab, with a delicious toasted bread garlic rubbed !
This menu was just terrific! The plates very hearty. Not enough space to enjoy dessert.. next time for sure.
The place was full !
Don’t forget to book !

excellent food - Edit
had three very authentic main options, especially the kebab was great, but also shakshuka as an appetiser and the chocolate cake as dessert. Stuff was friendly, the food came pretty quick. You might get a reservation if you want to sit outside!!

Tasty but small portions - Edit
Part of my food was not very warm and the carrots were too fibrous to eat.
Read moreIt was understaffed. It took more than an hour to receive the food. We did arrive at opening time and the restaurant filled quite fast.
The portions were quite small.

Nice and queer 🏳️🌈 - Edit
The restaurant and the people who go there have a nice, queer / alternative vibe. Super friendly staff. Good but not great food. The dessert (chocolate fondant) was amazing though! 😍

Good food, slow service - Edit
Booked on a Saturday night, and was tightly squeezed in between other parties. Service was slow and we were forgotten a couple of times. Food was really good though! Unfortunately not very warm when it reached us.. Had the noodles and the mushroom skewers, with chocolate cake and cheesecake as dessert. Everything really tasty!

Good food, great vibe! - Edit
The food menu is super limited but it was still good. We loved that place was filled with people having conversation with people.. the host was super nice who took us through the highlights of menu and what it meant.. but if you are looking for a good French experience with vegan food. The place made my heart full ❤️

Fantastic food and great staff! - Edit
I had high expectations of this place and they were entirely met. Great, bold flavors, good portion size and the staff was awesome. Really recommend this place if you want to eat a bit more fancy or just want an amazing dinner when in Marseille. The cheesecake dessert was out of this world! We shared a starter and dessert and had our own main dish and that was more than enough. I forgot to take more pictures because it was so good. Enjoy this gem!!

Sehr lecker! - Edit
Wir haben hier unseren Urlaub verabschiedet und es war ein Fest! Das Essen war lecker, frisch gemacht und schnell auf den Tisch. Eine Karaffe Leitungswasser gab’s schon, bevor wir bestellt haben. Die Mitarbeiter*innen waren super freundlich und sprachen sehr gut Englisch und eine Person sogar auch für uns Deutsch. Das fanden wir sehr zuvorkommend. Die Speisen sind gesund, Bio und ALLE Vegan. Für meinen Kaffee gab’s dann auch Mandelmilch. Geschmacklich einfach total natürlich und sehr überraschend. Die Teller sind liebevoll angerichtet und auf jeder Gabel gibt’s einen neuen Geschmack. Man schmeckt den Aufwand, der dort in der Küche betrieben wird.
Read moreDie Portionen scheinen erst klein, sind aber trotzdem gut sättigend. Die Preise sind auch eher gehoben, aber für die Stadt und das tolle Essen auf jeden Fall jeden Cent Wert. Die Lage ist mitten in einer alternativen, künstlerischen Gegend mit Graffitis und Open minded People mit Links-grünen Tendenzen. Love it!
Tolle Atmosphäre, wir haben uns im Mariposas sehr wohl gefühlt.
Wir werden wieder kommen! Danke für den Genuss und die leckeren Mocktails!
Reservieren ist zu empfehlen.
Die Speisekarte bekommt ist ins englische übersetzt auf den Tisch.

Leuk tentje in Marseilles bruisende hipsterhart - Edit
We gingen hier op aanraden van een collega naartoe, die al 3x in Marseille was geweest. Dat schepte al vertrouwen en het eten beschaamde dat niet. Frisse voorgerechten en behoorlijk smaakvolle hoofdgerechten. Ze vullen niet te erg, er wordt gewerkt met veel verschillende groenten en de sausjes zijn tamelijk lekker. Er was nog ruimte voor dessert (altijd fijn) maar die waren wel dermate zwaar dat we die niet helemaal op kregen. Vooral de lavacake was intens en had de helft zo groot mogen zijn.
Read morePros: Veel verschillende verse groenten, Originele gerechten, Leuke sfeer op dit terras
Cons: De chocoladecake is te machtig, Sporadische rioollucht (heeft ook zijn charme), De smaken missen soms wat power
