What comes up most often
Four reasons to come back
The harbour view
Boats, sea and the Cap Canaille cliffs, all within sight of your table, from lunch through to sunset.
Fish filleted at the table
The fish is chosen whole, then filleted in front of you in the dining room. That gesture is the house signature.
The elevated terrace
It's the largest terrace in Cassis: 80 to 100 covers, shade in the hot hours, set above the quay.
Marine's welcome
You're welcomed as if into a family home, in a warm and unfussy atmosphere.
The terrace
The view everyonetalks about
If one detail comes up in almost every review, it's the view. Le Bistrot de Nino's terrace is raised above Quai Jean-Jacques Barthélemy and looks out over the whole of Cassis harbour: moored boats, glittering water and the cliffs in the distance.
It's the largest terrace in Cassis, with 80 to 100 covers. It's shaded and people happily linger there at lunch and dinner. To get a front-row seat, especially in season, it's best to book.
On the plate
Seafood cookingpeople talk about
Guests often mention how fresh the fish is. The cooking is Mediterranean and homely, made with good produce. The menu follows the daily catch, and a dish of the day changes every morning.
The moment people remember is the whole fish brought to the table and filleted before their eyes. Simple, generous and good: that's what we want to serve every day.
The welcome
A family houseon the harbour
Nino opened the restaurant, then his son took over. Marine later bought it and kept the name in tribute to its founder. She loves introducing guests to new flavours and watching them enjoy their meal, and it shows in the reviews.
Cassis regulars, weekend visitors from Marseille or Aix, travellers passing through: everyone gets the same welcome. Pets are welcome too.
