Healthy, organic, but a bit too lightly seasoned - Edit
Mariposas serves home style french food, apperently everything is vegan (yay!) and organic (don't care!). We came in around lunch time and had two different main dishes. The eggplant with lentils and rice was pretty good, the grilled zucchini dish could have used some more spices tbh. Still, we enjoyed the meals a lot.

Very tasty - Edit
Everything was tasty and delicious. Fresh and good quality products and wine. Portions are indeed a bit small, which is ok regarding the quality and sourcing of the ingredients, but I was still hungry after one starter and one main. I think it could be avoided by adding a bit more cereal/carbs to the dish to make it a bit more heavy and fulfilling.

So happy to have found it - Edit
A place like this cannot be underestimated and would have its place even in cities with many other vegan restaurants. But in France, even in Marseille this restaurant is simply an oasis for vegan food lovers.

Franchement bof après 3 expériences - Edit
Après 3 repas à des moments différents chez mariposas, je retiens que le personnel est globalement stressé et pas très accueillant. Les plats sont bons mais en très petites quantités… c’est dommage d’avoir encore faim en quittant le restaurant.
Read moreCe midi j’ai commandé un choux fleur rôti, on me l’a servi cru. Je l’ai signalé et on m’a affirmé qu’il était cuit.
Bref… je ne reviendrai pas.

Pros: Goût des plats
Cons: Trop petites quantités , Personnel pas très agréable , Trop cher pour ce que c’est

Bonjour Camille, nous sommes désolé que l'expérience chez Mariposas n'ai pas été concluante, neomoins j'aimerais vous rappeler que les produits que vous avez dans l'assiette sont bio et locaux. Et De filières vertueuses . Du coup les prix doivent être à ce niveau. Une assiette à 15eu aujourd'hui avec un quard de chou fleur, une purée de pommes de terre et une compotés d oignons c'est du travail humain qu'il faut aussi rémunérer à sa juste valeur. Le travail est dans le goût qui vous a plu, pas dans les quantités, peut en ayant pris une entrée l'équilibre aurait pu se faire. Parfois nous sommes stressé car bcp de monde aussi, nous sommes désolé de n'avoir pas pu prendre plus soins de vous. Une prochaine fois peut être, ou pas...

Okay, but not great - Edit
Changing vegan menu with creative dishes, but the realization was a little disappointing. The aromas slightly inharmonic, a bit dry, small portions... But overall quite okay!

Delicious, healthy local food - Edit
The food here is very tasty, freshly made and is vegetable-based, so it is very healthy. We went there as a group of three and tried everything of the menue and liked everything very much. It is a bit pricey tho and portions are not that big (we didn‘t really have lunch that day and walked a lot - two of us still were a little hungry even after having a starter and a maindish). What I really loved was that they had a good non-alcoholic wine😄

Créatif - Edit
Repas de l’entrée au dessert avec boisson, délicieux. Très créatif. Change de l’ordinaire ou de tout autre restaurant vegan/végétal qui propose généralement toujours le même chose.. Là non, surprise totale. Ça faisait longtemps. On ne s’y attend pas. Je recommande

Amazing Sunday brunch - Edit
I came here a while ago but never left a review!! Me and my friends came here on a Sunday and we got a brunch / tasting menu thing where we got to try multiple dishes! Was a bit expensive but definitely worth the price

Very nice atmosphere and very cool staff, kind and funny. BUT it's expensive and the portions are small. I would go it more often if the portions were adapted to prices.

One of my favourite places in Marseille! - Edit
The menu here is fresh, local, organic & seasonal & boy does it taste good! It’s such a joy seeing a vegan restaurant rely on vegetables rather than meat replacements as the star of the dish. On weekends they do a brilliant 4 course brunch for 26 euros. Highly recommended #Veganuary

Nice little vegan spot - Edit
Nice spot at the back of Cours Julien, a lively place in the evening. Very friendly staff. Small menu that changes regularly. All their suppliers are local. Would definitely recommend as one of the top vegan places in Marseille!

Wow! - Edit
If you're looking for something special, mariposas is a perfect option. The staff was really friendly and presented the menu to all of the guests individually. The menu changes regularly. Definitely no 0815 restaurant. I enjoyed every dish we had. Really a unique experience. When you're visiting Marseille, this is a must-see.. ehm eat. 🥰

Happy healthy food - Edit
I ordered the potato galette with grilled veggies, which was brilliant flavor wise. There is very obviously a huge focus on the ingredients themselves and dishes were also really vibrant both visually and on the palate.
Read moreAs other reviews have already mentioned the portions are fairly small for the price and I definitely could have had more before I was full. It’s located in a bustling area in Marseille with a lot of restaurants and bars.

Small portions, but tasty - Edit
I can only repeat what the other reviews already said: My food was tasty, but what I got felt like little more than half a portion. I had to order a dessert to feel somewhat satiated. Given the price, that's why I'm not giving five stars.
Read moreThe location is quite nice, right in Cours Julien. The square where Mariposas is located was full of dining and chatting people.
The menu was not available in english (just written on a chalk board), and it was hard to decipher, especially without knowing french. In the end I just ordered something random, which turned out to be good.
Pros: Tasty food, Nice location
Cons: small portions, especially for the price, Menu not available in english
