Best places for lunch in Marseille 

[Lutèce]

Is this what you mean by 'best'?

I’m looking for a good place to have lunch near the old port of Marseille.

Last time we were there, (Sept 2019) most of the restaurants around the Vieux Port had become pizzerias if that is what you are looking for.

 

It is also quite touristy there so the choices and value for money may not be he best. and you would be better looking at restaurants somewhere close to the area but not actually around the port.

 

As it isn't at all clear what you are looking for, nor your budget, try Tripadvisor Marseille Restaurants where you can use the filters to help you decide.

We usually walk around and look at the menus which are always posted outside.  Look at the outside tables to see what the people are eating and the ambiance, and then pick a place.  The best deal (quality and price) at any restaurant, especially in tourist areas, is to order the daily special or "plat du jour."   It will be posted on a blackboard outside.  Order a carafe of the house wine.  Rosés are the specialty of the area.  Also, order a carafe of water, otherwise they will bring you an overpriced bottle of mineral water. 

And enjoy.  It is difficult to get a bad meal in France.
