Set on Quai Jean-Jacques Barthélemy, in the heart of Cassis harbour, Le Bistrot de Nino welcomes you for a meal with your eyes on the sea. Our terrace, the largest in Cassis, shaded and open onto the harbour, is the ideal setting for a sunny lunch as much as for a dinner facing the sunset over the boats.
Whether you come as a couple, with family or with friends, our sea-view restaurant in Cassis places you in the front row of the harbour's spectacle. Here you savour a generous Mediterranean cuisine, driven by the fresh fish deliveries, in the friendly atmosphere of a local institution passed down over three generations.
The experience
A table in the front rowof the harbour's spectacle
At noon, the light of Cassis settles on the tablecloths and on the water; in the evening, the harbour lights up and the boats sway gently with the swell. From one service to the next the scenery changes, but the view remains: the sea, within table's reach.
You settle in unhurried, between a seafood platter, a well-chilled glass and the quiet coming and going of the harbour. It's this Mediterranean gentleness, simple and generous, that we love to share at Le Bistrot de Nino.

Sea view or side street?
A fish mealfacing the sea
In Cassis, you can sit down in a side street of the old village or right by the water. For a fish meal, the harbour view still changes the experience: the light on the sea, the sea air and the coming and going of the boats extend what you find on the plate.
A table facing the harbour
On our shaded elevated terrace, the largest in Cassis, every meal is lived open onto the sea and the boats. Fresh fish, presented then filleted in front of you at the table, takes on its full meaning in this harbour setting.
The choice of a side street
A table in a side street offers the shade and quiet of the old village, away from the sun. It is another way to discover Cassis; for a fish meal facing the sea, we prefer to seat you in the front row of the harbour.
On the plate
Fresh fishand Mediterranean flavours
The cuisine at Le Bistrot de Nino puts fresh fish in the spotlight. Depending on the catch, whole fish is presented then filleted in front of you at the table, a gesture that has been part of our identity since 1962. The flavours of the Mediterranean guide the menu, between seafood and Provençal accents.
Facing the sea, every dish takes on a special dimension: the freshness of the produce answers the view over the harbour and the cliffs. It's this meeting between plate and landscape that makes our sea-view restaurant a benchmark address in Cassis.
Before or after the calanques
A table on the harbour,back from the calanques
Cassis harbour is the departure point for walks toward the calanques, from Port-Miou to the neighbouring coves. A few steps from the quay, our sea-view restaurant welcomes you to recharge facing the sea, on the largest shaded terrace in town.
After a morning by boat or a hike along the trails, nothing beats a lunch of fresh fish on the harbour, or a dinner facing the sunset. Remember to book your table, especially in season, to make the most of the terrace.
