Review

Tucked near the Old Port and Notre-Dame de la Garde, La Relève stands out as a beloved gathering spot with deep local roots. Since 1944, it’s been a meeting point for everyone from taxi drivers to neighborhood regulars — and now, even the occasional visitor from Paris.

Under new ownership by “the two Gregs,” its laid-back charm, friendly atmosphere, and honest, affordable food have made it a hit. Whether you’re grabbing a morning coffee, a casual lunch, or an evening drink on the terrace, La Relève offers the kind of welcoming vibe that keeps people coming back.
