On the harbour since 1962
A Cassis institutionhanded down
Le Bistrot de Nino took over the name and the place of Nino, a house that belongs to the memory of Cassis. Three generations later, the address stays true to what made it endearing: the view over the harbour, the professionalism and the pleasure of welcoming people well.
It is this continuity, as much as the quality on the plate, that places Le Bistrot de Nino today among the best tables in Cassis.
On the plate
The Mediterranean,with fish as king
The menu celebrates fish and the produce of the Mediterranean. Our signature: the whole fish, presented then filleted in front of you, served simply to let its freshness speak.
Seafood platters, lobster linguine, grilled fish or the daily special: every plate follows the catch and the season, in the generous spirit of a family kitchen.
The view
The largest terracein Cassis
You don't become one of the best addresses in Cassis without a vantage point. Our terrace, the largest in Cassis, seats 80 to 100 covers up high, every table turned towards the harbour, its boats and the cliffs of the bay.
Shaded in the hottest hours, open to the sea at sunset, it is the ideal setting for a sunny lunch or a dinner for two — and it carries on, just above, with La Maison de Nino to stay the night.
