In the shade, facing the harbour
A shaded terracewith a harbour view
Finding a shaded restaurant in Cassis in the height of summer isn't always easy: the southern sun beats down on the harbour and many terraces stay in full glare at lunchtime. At Le Bistrot de Nino, our terrace, the largest in Cassis, is designed to welcome you in the shade, facing the boats and the sea.
You enjoy the spectacle of the harbour, the coolness and the view, without enduring the heat. It's the ideal spot for a long lunch or a dinner facing the sunset, in the Mediterranean atmosphere of Cassis harbour.

Fresh fish and Mediterraneancuisine
A shaded restaurant only makes sense if the plate matches the setting. Our menu celebrates fresh fish and Mediterranean cuisine, with a house signature: whole fish presented then filleted right in front of you, at the table.
In the shade of the terrace, you take your time to savour a platter, a fish of the day or a seasonal speciality, paired with a wine from the region. It's a simple and generous way to experience Cassis, between the sea and southern cooking.

Since 1962
A Cassisinstitution
Le Bistrot de Nino has been an institution of Cassis harbour since 1962, passed down over three generations. This heritage shows in the welcome, the loyalty of our regulars and the many Google reviews left by our guests.
Choosing our shaded terrace means far more than a table in the shade: it's living a piece of the Cassis seafront's history. And to extend your stay, La Maison de Nino offers accommodation right above the restaurant.
