This gesture, inherited from our family history, guarantees complete transparency about what you eat. It is part of the experience that leads so many guests to rank us among the best addresses in Cassis for fish.

Set right on the quay, our terrace is the largest in Cassis, with 80 to 100 shaded seats and a direct view over the harbour and the sea. You lunch or dine to the rhythm of the boats coming and going, in the front row of the Provençal scene that gives the town all its charm.
Mediterranean Cuisine Made with Fresh Produce
Beyond fish, our menu celebrates Mediterranean cuisine: seasonal produce, clear flavours and generous plates. This consistency, year after year, explains the loyalty of our regulars as much as the enthusiasm of visitors passing through Cassis.
