About the Vibe
Le Consolat is where Marseille’s Asian bistro scene gets a serious upgrade. Chef Mina Kandé and her team have crafted a chic, Sinophile-inspired space that feels more like a Wong Kar-wai film set than a neighborhood eatery. Think polished tables, wood paneling, and atmospheric lighting setting the stage for pan-Asian small plates with serious swagger. Skip the desserts—they’re the only weak link—and go for the hand-cut steak tartare with white kimchi or the Sichuan-style mussels glazed in yuxiang sauce. Pair it with a natural wine pour from Juliette Authier and you’ve got yourself a proper night out in Longchamp.

Chic Asian bistro with serious swagger
Le Consolat is one of those rare spots where the food actually matches the hype. Chef Mina Kandé has created a menu that’s both playful and refined, with dishes like the hand-cut steak tartare topped with white kimchi and fermented chili crisp that hit all the right notes. The Sichuan-style mussels with fries are a standout—crispy, tangy, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is effortlessly chic without trying too hard, and the natural wine list curated by Juliette Authier is genuinely impressive for a bistro of this size.
The only real letdown is the desserts. The basil flan and tapioca with peach and sesame brittle just don’t have the same punch as the savory courses. But honestly, you can easily skip them and still have an unforgettable meal. If you’re looking for somewhere in Longchamp that feels special without being stuffy, this is it. Just make sure to arrive early—seats fill up fast on weeknights.
