Les buvards - Marseille

We ate here twice during our weeks stay in Marseille it can get busy with locals so booking is advisable. It is principally a wine merchant with a vast cellar, knowledgeable and helpful staff. The light meals on offer are deceptively simple but were by far the best we ate. There is no printed menu so celiacs must review ingredients but this was helped by all meals being cooked on the premises. Gluten free options include charcuterie, cheese, a fabulous mozzarella salad, quail salad. There were more adventurous dishes such as pigs snout on mung beans! As you would expect the wine was excellent on both occasions. A recommended Carianne vote du Rhone red and a white Bandol. Both were competitively priced, you pay a fixed 10 Euros over the retail price to drink them in the restaurant.

Les Buvards would have been the great surprise of my short journey in Marseille. First of all, they are perfectly located, close to the Vieux Port but disconnected from the touristic affluence. The place is absolutely ravishing with an outdoor front patio. The service is excellent, precise, simple with a lot of attention. I had the zucchini with a local cheese called Brousse fantastic the steak perfectly cooked with a green salad and a delightful Baba with rum. A very reasonable bill. It's an MUST GO place for dinner, they are closed for lunch. The wine cellar seems impressive as well but i don't drink wine. I enjoyed the tap water.

We visited Les Buvards for a few glasses of wine and a light bite on a sleepy Tuesday evening and thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. This intimate wine bar was full of locals and didn 't seem like much of a tourist destination, but Marseille was oddly empty of tourists that evening so I can 't say if this is typical. The wine is arranged along the walls of the bar, with the prices drawn on the bottles, which found very quaint and novel. To drink your selection in the bar costs an extra €8, the prices are the 'takeaway ' prices. There is a wide selection from around €10/bottle up to €100. It is also possible to buy cheaper wines by the glass from the bar. The food options are not full meals but mainly snacks, although we found the cheese and ham board to be quite delightful and more than sufficient for our needs. This is an excellent wine bar and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to sample French wine in a very accessible location.

We ordered a great time- and the dish of the day, which came a bit cold. but was tasty. it was super packed and loud, service quite slow, which is a bit i guess in the style of buvards

I can understand the critics about the character of the boss, because the first contact is destabilizing, not frankly coming. In time, we see a smile appear, then two. Then the guy starts talking, and he gets interesting and nice. I feel like he's a little elitist and doesn't like people who know nothing about wine... The wines, let's talk about it: quality bluffe! The selection of natural wines is close to perfection. And as food is at the level, we have everything to spend a good time in this very unconventional wine bar. A special mention for the sound atmosphere, also very pointed: this is the first time I hear from Sleaford Mods in a wine bar. In summary: a very good address that must exceed its first impression.
