“It is thanks to Michel Mouïsse, former chaplain of Notre-Dame de la Garde, that this partnership between our Notre-Dame de la Garde sanctuary and the restaurant of the same name came to be.
By enjoying a pleasant meal—whether alone or with others, with family or friends—you are providing financial support to our sanctuary. Thank you!
Since “man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord,” every meal is a time not only for sharing food but also for sharing words. The magnificent view will also help you savor Marseille to your heart’s content.
You’ll notice the Monastic Crafts on display; they bring us closer to the monks and nuns, who sustain our world through prayer.
Welcome! "

Father Didier Rocca - Rector of the Shrine

A SOCIAL PROJECT BASED ON SOLIDARITY

Opening up jobs to disabled workers: the Restaurant is working withUNAPEI-AP, an association of parents of intellectually and cognitively disabled children, to open up as many jobs as possible to ESAT workers, who are often far removed from employment or at odds with the company, to help them regain their self-confidence and self-esteem.

To become a benchmark for training and sustainable integration through employment. Thanks to the creation of a support network, we are opening the Restaurant to associations and public bodies such as Pôle Emploi to host internships and support training. This methodology of integration through employment encourages psychological reconstruction, removes psycho-social-economic obstacles and stimulates skills development through the discovery of catering professions. In this way, the Restaurant aims to rekindle desire and create vocations by giving everyone the legitimate ambition to go further.
Welcoming apprenticeship contracts from public and private establishments into our workforce.
Continuing the tradition of hospitality to people in difficulty.
Support local charities.

OUR COMMITMENTS

Respect for the environment and social responsibility are the values that underpin the restaurant's project. On a daily basis, it is committed to limiting its impact, acting to preserve resources and promoting "working together". Aware of its responsibilities, it uses them as a springboard to direct each of its actions towards the preservation of the earth and the well-being of mankind, from purchasing to the recycling of unsold products.

All these dimensions are lived out in the dynamism of Pope Francis' Laudate Si'.
