For some, Sunday brunches are a tradition. An unmissable rendezvous with family and friends to recover from a big night out, or simply to round off the weekend in style. With sweet or savory offerings, brunch is an ideal culinary combination for gourmands. And if you can’t think of the best places to brunch, Marseille Secrète shares its favorites with you!
1. The original: brunch on board a catamaran
Aboard the maxi-catamaran “Ecolorato” or the small catamaran “Savana”, take advantage of a 5-hour crossing to admire all the scenic beauty of Marseille’s Parc National des Calanques. And it’s a well-known fact that sea air makes you hungry. Treat yourself to viennoiseries, hot drinks, cereals, brochettes à la plancha and much more, served up for a hearty brunch on the Mediterranean.
2. The Incredible: the gargantuan Mama brunch
Every Sunday from 12pm to 4pm, Mama Shelter ‘s incredible brunch delights you with a complete offer at €42: homemade hot chocolate, fresh fruit juices, pastries, fruit salad, fresh fruit… It’s also an English brunch, with scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and more…. But if you’re going to brunch at Mama Shelter, it’s also and above all for its ultra-trendy setting and its well-established reputation.

On sunny days (of which there are quite a few), the Rowing Club is the ideal place for brunch. On the terrace, in the shade of the shade sails, enjoy a breathtaking view of the Old Port and Fort Saint-Jean. And with a wide variety of savoury and sweet dishes on offer, the Rowing Club even offers an all-you-can-eat brunch! The little extra? They offer an early-bird service from 11am to 1pm, and another for fans of sleeping in from 1:15pm to 3:15pm.

5. The “too hot” brunch: Deïa coffee & kitchen

Here, you can also enjoy the house specialty: brunch (totally vegan). And gluten-intolerant diners will also find something to suit them, with a number of options on the menu.
8. Brunch on the terrace at Café Borély
If we like to go there for their aperitifs and other events, Café Borély also offers a brunch that’s as tasty as it is generous. In a pleasant setting a stone’s throw from the château that gives the café its name, you’ll find all the classics of a successful brunch.
