Delicious, healthy local food

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

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

Pros: De qualité , Original

Amazing Sunday brunch

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

A bit expensive but nice

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.

Pros: Cool staff, Quite good food

Cons: Too expensive, Small portions

One of my favourite places in Marseille!

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

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!

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. 🥰

Tasty and creative menu

They use fresh and local produce and their menu is creative. The menu is written on a chalkboard that is s bit hard to read, but everything we had was delicious!

Excellent vegan tapas

A gem to find in Marseille after struggling to get anything that wasn't fries everywhere else. Staff helpful and friendly with good English. I would definitely return and try the rest of the menu!

Pros: Varied dishes , Helpful staff, Excellent quality ingredients

Cons: An English version of the menu would be helpful

Happy healthy food

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.

As 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

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.

The 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

Food made with love

The restaurant is situated in what I think it Marseille's most vibrant area. There is no printed menu, just one chalkboard passed around between tables, and even if you read French it can be hard to read the items, so it's mandatory you ask the wait staff to help out there. We went with a Galette (potato pancake) with some ratatouille type toppings, and a middle-eastern dish whose name I do not remember. They were tasty and healthy, you can tell they focus on whole foods and avoid any processed ingredients. Although as with most "healthy vegan" restaurants, I left not feeling really full.

Updated from previous review on 2023-08-12

Pros: Healthy food, Nice location in a vibrant area

Cons: Food doesn't really fill you up, You need to wait your turn for a hard to read menu, One staff a lot less friendly than the other

Tasty

I did enjoy this meal however I didn't think it was outstanding. Struggled with the menu as it's hand written and in French (obviously) but I couldn't read the words to translate them. Luckily we were saved by our French speaking neighbours. Two of our meals were served cold which I wasn't expecting and didn't love. It's insanely popular which is good to see. The pudding was perfect though, including peach ice cream!!

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Hard to read menu

Really tasty food

The food and atmosphere is amazing, really nice that you can choose multiple dishes to share. Don't skip the desserts😄only the stuffed paprika wasn't really my cup of tea, the rest is 👌

Good For Sharing

We were a group of three and ordered seven main dishes and two desserts to share. While each dish tastes fine on its own, it's the variety of dishes and how they complement each other that elevate this restaurant to a 5-star experience

Lekker en gezellig plekje!

Het eten was erg lekker en goed op smaak. Ook een gezellig plekje en vriendelijke bediening.
Wel was het niet heel vullend omdat er niet echt iets van koolhydraten bij zat. Dus ik zou aanraden om de lekkere aardappeltjes er bij te bestellen😄

Pros: Alles vegan, Goed op smaak, Vriendelijk

Cons: Niet heel vullend

Simple food

the menu was only in french written on a blackboard so one staff member who spoke some english tried to explain it to us but they got it wrong a bit. wouldn’t go there again if i knew beforehand how expensive it would be. the food itself tastes good but nothing outstanding.

Pros: good taste, nice staff, nice outside seating

Cons: expensive , small portions, hard for english speakers

Lovely place!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this vegan restaurant, and it left a positive impression. The restaurant offers a variety of tasty and wholesome plant-based dishes. The location is convenient, and the staff is attentive and accommodating.

Whether you’re a vegan or simply curious about plant-based options, this place offers a delightful journey for your taste buds.

I think this restaurant is a fantastic choice for a gathering with friends. However, I would advise making a reservation in advance, as it tends to be quite popular, especially during peak hours.

All local produce

The plates look small but it's actually quite filling! Got the fried tofu, was really yummy. And the desserts were gorgeous! Bonus points for using only local produce and having a sanitary towel box in the bathroom!

Pros: Local produce , Gorgeous desserts, Inclusive bathroom

Must go

First lunch here in Marseille was amazing. I got the galette (pancake) and highly recommend. The Saint German Spritz was also so refreshing on a hot day and the French cocktail. Was a little pricey and also minimal English so brush up on your French.

Delicious, but simple

We started with the humous which had slow-cook pieces of courgette as a topping. The main was a tofu dish, however, when the dish arrived there we only 3 small pieces of tofu.
