In Noailles, the smell of spices hangs in the streets. Here you leave Europe and imagine yourself in Marrakech or Algiers.
The North African neighbourhood of Noailles is the place to be for lovers of good food. This neighbourhood, also called "the belly of Marseille", is home to spice shops like Salaédine, the toko Tam-ky and many good restaurants. The very popular dish couscous here is best at restaurant Fémina. You eat delicious tagines there, under a ceiling of colourful cloths. Also be sure to visit the lively Noailles market. The meaning behind Marseille's slogan Nous sommes tous d'ici et d'ailleurs (we are all from here and from elsewhere) will become clear to you right here.
