The days are getting longer, the sun’s rays are warming our faces, and the irresistible urge to enjoy the moment, a drink in hand, is growing stronger by the day. In Marseille, there’s no shortage of terraces and rooftops, but there’s a newcomer worth checking out. This summer, head to Malmousque, where Pigment invites us to take in the view and savor the sunny days over brunch, a cocktail, or a coffee.
Pigment, a sun-drenched bar in the heart of Malmousque
It’s on the Corniche Kennedy that we discover Pigment. Open since July 2025, the bar cultivates a certain simplicity. Behind a discreet façade lies a bright space with orange hues, designed to slow down the pace.
On the culinary front, the spirit is decidedly Mediterranean. The menu showcases creative mezze dishes, as colorful as they are flavorful. Reimagined hummus, bold combinations, and locally sourced ingredients set the tone. Depending on the season, you can enjoy, for example, a pea and feta hummus or a halloumi-butternut sandwich, topped with fennel and red onion pickles, coleslaw, and lemon mayonnaise. The whole experience is accompanied by a selection of wines carefully chosen for the aperitif.
Deck chairs and cocktails: a new sunny and intimate rooftop
The place never ceases to surprise and hides a little summer nook at the top of a discreet staircase. Far from the image of flashy, stuffy rooftops, Pigment invites you to enjoy the summer in all its simplicity. With deck chairs, beanbags, and sofas, you can settle in comfortably on the minimalist, light-filled terrace. In this relaxed atmosphere, you can sip a cocktail, take a coffee break, or share a delicious summer dish with friends. A perfect spot, suspended between relaxation and conviviality.
Sunday brunch in the sun
Highlights on the Corniche: Pigment enhances the rooftop experience with a brunch menu every Sunday. The menu reflects the establishment’s signature style. For €35, sweet options (fresh fruit salad, cookies, chocolate croissants) are paired with hearty savory dishes such as bagels, halloumi bowls, or Turkish-style eggs. The meal is accompanied by hot or refreshing beverages, depending on your preference.
