Rares options véganes - Edit
L’endroit est sympa, l’ambiance est détendue et c’est au pied de la sublime Gare Saint-Charles.
Read moreMais le service n’est pas du tout « vegan friendly » et pas souriant non plus.
Pour les rares options véganes, on enlève les produits faits avec du lait volé aux animaux et on ne les remplace pas.
C’est bon, mais sans plus.
C’est très cher. Trop cher pour ce que c’est !
Il est temps d’évoluer et de proposer uniquement des plats 100% véganes. Les demi-mesures et les maigres options véganes, on en a marre!
Updated from previous review on 2024-10-20
Pros: À côté de la gare
Cons: Végétarien pour un lieu écolo, c’est pas sérieux!, Très peu d’options véganes , Pas de sourires et c’est cher !

Great café and new brunch - Edit
L'ecomotive brings a nice VG touch to the area around gare Saint Charles. Several vegan options for drinks and food. Inquire to the staff if you want to know if VG dishes can be veganized. A new brunch option is now available during weekends (since January 2024). The staff is quite welcoming. This address has become an obligatory stop for me whenever I visit Marseille.

Always a good stop when we have to wait for the train! - Edit
I suggested l'Ecomotive, because we had an hour wait for the TGV to Lyon
Read moreWe already knew that
you have to climb some stairs for this. But the view from the station over the city is beautiful!
I saw that the vegan cake was sold out and that there were only vegan cookies.
So I took an oat cappuccino for myself and Grenadine juice for Joris, as I'm not a big fan of cookies
But after 10 minutes the vegan cheesecake turned out to be replenished! I was very happy!!
Then of course I ordered a piece of cheesecake (with lemon and blueberries)
with extra grenadine juice.
I thought it was a wonderful combination.
The cake was magic to me! 🫐🍋🍰
It had a good crust and a delicious fresh-sweet substance
We enjoyed the terrace and the people around us. It was very cosy.
Advice: You never know how crowded this place is and which cakes are left. So please never be disappointed,
only be surprised! A veggie restaurant close to this station is great in itself!

Simple and good - Edit
If possible don't go between 12 and 1 pm as it was really crowded when we went there. However we waited until a table was free. It was worth the wait. There were 2 vegan dishes available. It was simple but really tasty and fresh.

We were too early for lunch - Edit
We had a train change here but we’re too early for lunch. They had a couple of vegan items like biscuits and carrot cake. So we got a couple of chocolate chip biscuits and a coffee. They were very nice and it is convenient near the station. A shame I didn’t get to try lunch though.

Nice place, home-like food - Edit
This place is so nice to have lunch, just a coffee. It's located near the train station and, in my experience, it's not always easy to get access to vegan food in these areas.

Lieu très agréable et bonnes options veggie! - Edit
Accueil très sympathique. Lieu agréable. Bons plats vegan/veggie (merci!). J’ai testé le « chilli sin carne ». 12€ le plat copieux le midi. Peut être un bon spot pour remote working.

Great cafe with really nice staff - Edit
Spent a long time in here while I had a long transfer of trains. Couldn't recommend it enough for the cosy feel of the place with great priced coffee and cakes. Delicious soup and the chia seeds soaked in plant milk is such a great idea I'll definitely be doing that sometime. It's so close to the train station that it's worth going to for a quick coffee if you're on a transfer

Tasty food prepared with care - Edit
I stopped off here with my partner as we had two hours before a train. I loved the chilled out atmosphere and ambiance in this place - and loved looking at the art prints strung around the walls.
Read moreThe food was great - we both had salads for lunch which were filling and delicious- a really nice dressing and excellent cooking of the vegetables. We also got some vegan cake and a hot chocolate - non-dairy milks available include soya and oat and another - no additional charge for requesting them. The staff were lovely and there is a really community feel about the place. Would recommend to anyone in or visiting Marseille!

Mein Lieblingladen in Marseille - Edit
Es gibt für mich nichts Schöneres als in der Stadt anzukommen und Schlange zu stehen für ein frisch gekochtes Mittagessen. Es war immer sehr lecker. Nur einmal war ich zu spät, um auswählen zu können: sie kochen nicht nach, man muss also etwas flexibel bleiben. Ich empfehle das Café/Restaurant auf alle Fälle gerne weiter, super nette Leute, die gerne alle Fragen beantworten, wenn die Stoßzeit vorbei ist. Wer die Hygienestandards aus Deutschland gewöhnt ist, sollte nicht dort essen. Geschirr wird direkt unter der Küchenzeile gespült, wo offen gekocht wird.
