A Shaded Terrace With a View Over the Port of Cassis
Finding a shaded restaurant in Cassis at the height of summer is not always easy: the southern sun beats down hard on the harbour and many terraces stay in full sun at lunchtime. At Le Bistrot de Ninot, our terrace — the largest in Cassis — is designed to welcome you in the shade, facing the boats and the sea. You enjoy the harbour scene, the coolness and the view, without suffering the heat. It is the perfect spot for a long lunch or a dinner facing the sunset, in the Provençal atmosphere of the port of Cassis.
Fresh Fish and Mediterranean Cuisine in the Shade
A shaded restaurant only makes sense if the plate lives up to the setting. Our menu celebrates fresh fish and Mediterranean cuisine, with a house signature: whole fish presented and then filleted right at your table. In the shade of the terrace, you take the time to savour a platter, the catch of the day or a seasonal speciality, paired with a local wine. It is a simple, generous way to experience Cassis, between sea and southern cooking.
The Comfort of a Cool Lunch in Full Summer
Dining in the cool makes all the difference when you visit Cassis under the sun. Our shaded terrace lets you take a real break away from the hottest hours, without giving up the view over the harbour. Families, couples and groups alike find a comfortable setting to settle in, and pets are welcome on the terrace. After the calanques, a boat trip or a morning at the market, it is the ideal meeting point to recharge in the shade, facing the sea, before setting off again to explore Cassis.
