“Cavaliers of the sky
the swallows return
riding the clouds”
Morgane Reynier
In May, when the buds open and nature awakens, an invitation to discovery awaits you at Restaurant Tabi. Inspired by the flower gardens that adorn the streets of Marseille, our restaurant is decked out in its most beautiful colours to welcome you into the warm atmosphere of the Vallon des Auffes district.
Here, every day is an invitation to travel, where flavours blend harmoniously to create an unforgettable taste experience. Thanks to chef Ippei Uemura and his team, nomadic kaiseki cuisine reveals all its subtlety, awakening your taste buds to the five fundamental flavours: sweet, salty, bitter, acid and, of course, umami.
We invite you on an exceptional gastronomic escapade, where each dish is an ode to the season and its delights. But before that, please note that we'll be taking a short break from 30 April to 9 May 2024 inclusive, so we'll be ready to take you on a journey once again.
So in May, let your desires carry you away and join us for a feast that will awaken all your senses.
At Tabi, most of the containers are designed by our Chef Ippei UEMURA.
Indeed, his creativity extends beyond the kitchen as each year he collaborates with Japanese artisans to offer our customers a journey that lives up to our promises.
The latest example is the Tuna Yubiki plate from Koda Yaki. The aim was to be able to combine elegance and practicality, like the spout used to easily finish the dish. And this continues throughout Japan, as this map shows.
It's no secret that Tabi is synonymous with travel.
Chef Ippei Uemura's signature is the fusion of ancestral Japanese techniques with local products from the land, sea and mountains.
The collaboration with Provençal producers is essential and allows us to offer seasonal products of excellence throughout the year.
These include oysters from the Bay of Tamaris, honey from the Manufacture du Miel, olive oil from Valensolive, strawberries from Terre de Goût, micro pods from Paysan Urbain, mushrooms from Champignons de Marseille, flowers from A fleurs de Pots and truffles from Plantin.
The Voyage menu perfectly illustrates the diversity of flavours, as it offers no less than 23 different vegetables.
