Fresh fish,at the heart of the menu
At Le Bistrot de Nino, fresh fish is the guiding thread of the menu. We choose it with the daily catch, present it to you whole, then fillet it at the table. A simple and generous way to honour the Mediterranean, steps from the fishing boats of Cassis harbour.
Mediterranean cuisine, quality produce, a family spirit: every plate tells the story of the sea nearby, without fuss, with the true taste of the produce.

Our signature
The whole fish,filleted before you
Here, fresh fish doesn't arrive anonymously on the plate. It is presented to you whole, just as it was chosen, then filleted in front of you, at the table. This gesture, passed down through the generations since 1962, is part of the experience: you see the freshness of the produce and enjoy delicately prepared flesh, facing the sea.
