The gesture
Whole Fish Filleted at Your Table, Before Your Eyesan old-fashioned service
At Le Bistrot de Ninot, whole fish is no ordinary dish: it is first presented to you whole, just as it arrives in the kitchen, before being carefully filleted in front of you, at your table. This old-fashioned service has been part of our identity on the port of Cassis since 1962.
Filleting a fish at the table means taking the time for the gesture and for sharing. This care, passed down over three generations, extends a simple and generous Mediterranean cuisine, where the quality of the produce always comes first.
Fresh Fish and a Mediterranean Cuisine
Our Mediterranean cuisine puts fresh fish first. Depending on the catch, the selection changes with the seasons, so we can offer you produce at its very best, cooked with precision and without artifice.
Around whole fish, our menu also celebrates the flavours of the coast, from tapas to share to homemade desserts. Every plate carries the spirit of a harbour bistro, warm and devoted to fine produce.
Whole Fish on Our Terrace Facing the Harbour
Enjoying whole fish takes on another dimension facing the sea. Seated on the largest terrace in Cassis, shaded and open onto the harbour, you enjoy a setting worthy of the plate, for a relaxed lunch or a dinner almost at the water's edge.
