On the harbour, back from the calanques
Our restaurant sits on Cassis harbour, the departure and return point for trips to the calanques. You settle at the table as soon as you step off the boat or the trail.
Restaurant on Cassis harbour
Restaurant near thecalanques of Cassis
Just steps from the calanques departure point, treat yourself to a break facing the sea: fresh fish and Mediterranean cuisine on our harbour terrace.
Back from the calanques
Ideally placedin the heart of the harbour
The calanques of Cassis can be reached on foot along the trails, by kayak or on a boat trip, and all these outings share one thing in common: they leave from and return to the harbour. That is exactly where Le Bistrot de Nino sits, on Quai Jean-Jacques Barthélemy, in the heart of the village.
After a morning at Port-Miou, Port-Pin or En-Vau, you only have a few steps to take to settle at the table, without getting back in the car or moving away from the sea. This position on the harbour makes our restaurant a natural stop to carry on your day in the calanques over a good meal.

Fresh fish andsouthern cuisine
A day in the calanques works up an appetite, and it's the perfect moment to discover our Mediterranean cuisine and our fresh fish. True to the seaside tradition, the whole fish is presented then filleted in front of you, right at the table, for a moment as convivial as it is generous.
Between the flavours of the South and the freshness of the sea's produce, every dish reminds you that Cassis is as much a food destination as a backdrop of cliffs and turquoise waters. It's a simple way to make the pleasure last after the effort of the trails or the swim.

A terrace openonto the harbour and sea
To savour that return from the calanques, nothing beats a table on the terrace. Le Bistrot de Nino has the largest terrace in Cassis, shaded and open onto the harbour and the sea, with 80 to 100 covers. You settle in the front row of the show: fishing boats, comings and goings along the quay and cliffs closing off the bay. In summer and on fine days, it's the dream spot to cool off in the shade after a morning in full sun. Pets are also welcome on the terrace, handy if you have hiked with your dog.
