It’s no secret that every Londoner was obsessed with Marseille last summer. We travelled to the Provençal city in our masses, filling Instagram feeds with snaps of galleries, bouillabaisse and the glistening Plages du Prado. And the few of us who didn’t make it down to Marseille were jealous, oh so jealous. 

But fear not. If you wasted your precious summer 2024 not visiting Europe’s it-city, we‘ve got good news: Marseille’s coolest restaurant is coming to London. 

Tuba is a magnificent dining spot in Les Goudes, right on the water (if you’ve been researching your Marseille holiday, you would’ve seen it already), once a diving centre and now a hotel-restaurant where you can eat seriously good seafood sharing plates right on the rocks overlooking the sea. It’s Time Out’s second-best restaurant in Marseille, and it’s the sort of thing we dream about when the weather in the Big Smoke can’t climb above 11 degrees. 

Now for the big news: Tuba chef Sylvain Roucayrol is coming to London, collabing with Jackson Boxer to chef up a seven-course seafood menu at Parisian bistro Henri, using British produce but with the vibes (and flavours) of Marseille. Jackson Boxer is the chef behind our faves Dove, Brunswick House and more, by the way – and one of our hottest chefs in London. Just saying. 

The Tuba X Henri menu costs £85 per person, and there are two sittings, at 6.30pm and 8.30pm. The only catch? This is a one night only affair, taking place on Tuesday March 25. To secure your spot, visit its reservation page
