A Seaside Restaurant in the Heart of Sausset-les-Pins
Le Spot is a seaside restaurant located at 1 Avenue Jules Ferry, in Sausset-les-Pins, directly facing the Mediterranean. On the Cote Bleue, between Marseille and Martigues, the restaurant enjoys a rare setting: a terrace by the shore where the sea accompanies every meal, from morning to evening.
Choosing a seaside restaurant in Sausset-les-Pins offers far more than a meal. You breathe the sea air, listen to the lapping waves and let your gaze drift out to sea. Le Spot was designed around this experience: a generous, relaxed place, open for a morning coffee just as much as a seafood dinner at sunset.
Over the seasons, Le Spot has become a familiar address on the Cote Bleue, frequented by village locals and passing visitors alike. The cuisine stays true to its setting: fresh produce, fish and shellfish depending on what comes in, and a team that knows the Mediterranean by heart.
A Sea View Terrace Facing the Mediterranean
The terrace is the true asset of this seaside restaurant. With 78 seats spread between the dining room and the terrace, every guest enjoys a direct view of the Mediterranean. On mistral days, the dining room takes over with the same panorama behind large windows.
From morning to evening, the mood evolves. In the morning, regulars enjoy their coffee facing the sea. At lunch, the terrace fills with families and professionals coming for the plancha grills. In the evening, the low light over the water and the cocktails create a convivial atmosphere typical of seaside evenings.

What to order by the sea, from morning to evening?
A seaside brasserie open all day is not enjoyed the same way at 9am and at 9pm. Here are our pointers for choosing from Le Spot's menu depending on when you settle on the terrace.
Morning, brunch
Tuesday to Sunday from 8am to 11am: pancakes, salted caramel French toast, avocado toast or Eggs McSpot, with a coffee or fresh juice facing the sea.
Lunch, the plancha
Whole grilled sea bream, the octopus, cuttlefish and prawn trio, or clam linguine. On weekdays, the lunch set includes a dish of the day, a dessert, a glass of wine and a coffee.
Afternoon, sweet treats
Crepes, waffles and ice cream sundaes such as the dame blanche or the banana split: a sweet break after the beach or a stroll around the port.
Evening, spritz and tapas
Hugo Spritz, St Germain spritz or mojito with panisse fries and aioli, then a ribeye with béarnaise sauce or the Spot Burger at sunset.
Sausset-les-Pins, a Fishing Village on the Cote Bleue
Sausset-les-Pins is not like other seaside resorts. This Bouches-du-Rhone fishing village has kept its authenticity, with its small port and its narrow streets. Located between Marseille and Martigues, it makes a natural stop for a day on the Cote Bleue.
The surroundings are full of riches: the coastal path towards Carry-le-Rouet, the Cote Bleue calanques and its marine park. After a hike or a swim, a seaside restaurant like Le Spot naturally extends the day facing the sea.
Around fifteen minutes from Martigues and thirty-five minutes from Marseille via the coastal road, Le Spot is also served by the Cote Bleue railway line. This central position makes it an ideal meeting point for locals and visitors to the region alike.

A Sea View Terrace Among the Finest on the Cote Bleue
Le Spot's true asset is its sea view terrace on the Cote Bleue. With 78 seats spread between the dining room and the terrace, every table enjoys the panorama of the Mediterranean.

Varied Cuisine, from Brunch to Evening Cocktail
Le Spot's menu is deliberately broad and accessible. From 8am, the restaurant welcomes those who want to start the day with a coffee facing the sea or a sweet and savoury brunch.

Sausset-les-Pins, Between Marseille and Martigues

Fifteen minutes away via the D5, it is also a fine choice for guests coming from Martigues who would rather dine facing the open sea than along a canal.
