Food & Wine
Best of Toulon's Traditional Cuisine & Street Food
A culinary stroll through Toulon’s Provençal flavours — close to the ship.
Cruise suitability: Excellent on shorter or flexible port calls
Embrace Toulon’s culinary character on a guided tasting journey through seasonal produce and local street-food favourites — lovingly rooted in Mediterranean and Provençal tradition.
You do not need to leave the city to eat well in Toulon. This experience keeps you close to the harbour hinterland while tasting the season’s local produce.
It suits guests who want curated flavours and commentary rather than choosing restaurants alone.
If you prefer vineyards and coastal villages, compare our Cassis and Bandol days instead.

Return to ship guarantee
Return to ship guarantee: itineraries are planned around your Toulon cruise call so you are back at the terminal with time before all-aboard. If an operational delay on our side causes you to miss the ship, we work with the local provider under the published return-to-ship assurance for that booking.
Getting there from the cruise port
Cruise ships berth at Toulon’s passenger terminals on the Mediterranean waterfront. The historic harbour and Old Town are typically a short walk or brief shuttle from the exit — often around 10–20 minutes depending on berth, pace and route. Follow terminal signage toward the centre rather than wandering the working port. For Cassis, Bandol, Luberon or Marseille days, confirm meeting instructions and plan from your ship’s all-aboard time, not merely the published departure. Aim to be back at the terminal 60–90 minutes early; longer Provence days need the larger end of that buffer.

Excursion FAQs
Is this a full meal?▼
It is a culinary tasting experience with substantial samples rather than a formal restaurant reservation. Hungry guests may still want a café pause afterwards.
