Bar des 13 Coins

Food was bland and not tasty. French fries were okay (only things seasoned). Service was lacking and waited over 20 minutes for service to order and 30 minutes for food to come out. Ambiance is nice, outdoors, under a tree so watch out for projectiles. Waited 20 minutes for the check, just for the waitress to come back and tell us we have to pay inside after telling us she'll be right back with the check. It's a trap for tourists.

La nourriture était fade et pas savoureuse. Les frites étaient bonnes (seulement des choses assaisonnées). Le service manquait et a attendu plus de 20 minutes pour que le service commande et 30 minutes pour que la nourriture sorte. L'ambiance est agréable, à l'extérieur, sous un arbre, alors faites attention aux projectiles. J'ai attendu 20 minutes pour le chèque, juste pour que la serveuse revienne et nous dise que nous devons payer à l'intérieur après nous avoir dit qu'elle reviendrait tout de suite avec le chèque. C'est un piège pour les touristes.

This is the super cute little bar in Marseilles. It was our first night in France, after flying in to Barcelona and taking the train in. We just wanted a drink and a quick bite. This was perfect.

We even tried the signature drink, the 13 coins. One of the ingredients is grappa. It is creamy though. We were leery. Well it was not as bad as it could've been, it did not go down smoothly. As Americans we don't drink a lot of grapa over here so it's a little jet fuel even when mixed with other things. It probably was some of the most palatable grappa drinks I've ever had though. It was a good way to end the evening.

The other drinks were amazing. The food was great. We had olives and cheese. We had a couple of other items that I can't recall (prob due to that last drink ) but everything was quick,cheap and great. Very cute little neighborhood hang out.

Great quaint place to grab a drink and a meal. Highly recommended, great service. Speaks English.

Went on an afternoon during the World Cup so not a lot of restaurants were open. We were pleasantly surprised to find this little cafe. I got the beef tartare and my wife got the fish of the day. The food was excellent. The tartare was spicy and came with a really good salad with a balsamic vinaigrette of some sort. Also came with fries which I did not love but weren't bad.

The atmosphere was a bit loud, next to a street but the food was great and the waiter was very kind though we did get passed over when her shift ended and a new waiter came in. Probably biggest reason for the 4 star.

Such a cool, well run bar for drinks or food. Service is excellent. We've had the same (pretty, black, young) waitress twice who took very good care of us. First time there were six of us with two kids between lunch and dinner serving but she offered us a huge charcuterie plate for only 14 euro, plus the best sardine dip I've ever had. Yesterday she was just as good and kindly remembered us! Not to mention this place is historic - mentioned in Jean-paul Izzo's marseille trilogy books. A must Panier stop.

After walking up the hill to see the interesting "Visages" or "Faces" exhibition at Centre de la Vieille Charité, I continued my museums tour towards the Villa Méditeranée. On my way, I stopped by at a nice little square to refuel.

The location of Bar Des 13 Coins is very nice, despite the occasional "tourist train" passing by. I ordered chicken on bread with cheese and tomatoes. In general, I am not big fan of tomatoes, but together with the herbs this dish was exceptional. So simple, yet so tasty.

As I got used to in Marseille, the white wine I had with my lunch was pretty tasty as well. And, the waitress even knew English, which helped in making this meal slightly less complicated than at other places in Marseille.

Good food, nice wine, lovely service - Bar Des 13 Coins definitely has all the ingredients to make me happy.
