The gesture

The whole fish filleted at the table,before your eyes

At Le Bistrot de Nino, the whole fish is no ordinary dish. It is first presented to you whole, just as it arrives from the kitchen, before being gently filleted in front of you, at the table. This time-honoured service has been part of our identity on the Cassis harbour 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 comes before everything else.
