What is Gare Maritime – Food Market?
At the heart of the Tour & Taxis site, the Gare Maritime – Food Market brings together 10 street-food kiosks and a bar in a beautifully restored old train station.
You sit at a large table, order at the counter, via terminals or QR code, then pick up your dish when a buzzer or a text message calls you: simple, fluid, ideal for the family.
The place is dog-friendly and regularly hosts activities (afterworks, DJ sets, theme days, children’s corner, weekends and holidays).
Why is it convenient with the family?
- Large covered area : you can have a dry lunch in rainy weather, with wide aisles for strollers. (Tip: In winter, some areas can be cool → bring a little wool.)
- Easy ordering : QR code at the table, kiosks, or directly at the kiosk with buzzer/SMS pickup.
- Choice for everyone : 10 cuisines (burgers, pizza “à la portion”, fish, sushi, poke, cone of sausages from around the world, Korean, Mexican, Indian halal, etc.).
- Bar “Victoria” open continuously (even 1 hour before and 1 hour after the kitchens).
