Fantastic seafood restaurant serving the best and freshest of catches. Meat/steak options too if seafood isn’t your thing. We overheard other guests’ interactions with staff and discovered that there are vegetarian/gluten/dairy free accommodations available too should you require. We enjoyed the best mussels gratin ever (huge juicy, tasty and meaty mussels bathed in high quality tasty parsley&garlic butter topped with crisp breadcrumbs) and great calamari (perfectly crisp and lightly battered in well seasoned gram/chickpea flour served with mixed salad) as starters and then a wonderful fish of the day (today being sea bass; de-boned and served as two fillets along with a good portion of clams also served with a generous amount of vegetable and potato gratin sides) and one of the best seafood risottos we’ve ever had (stuffed full of squid, clams, 2 enormous prawns, so succulent and naturally sweet, cooked in a sublime seafood stock and delicious freshly milked cuttlefish ink, not from a sachet). Generous portions, good service (with staff speaking both French and English) and good wine. Complementary Limoncello served after the meal. Limited (4 white, 4 rose and 4 red) but superb quality wine selection. No tap water option or complementary carafe of tap water available. €6 charged for bottled mineral/fizzy water. Good quiet location on a pretty street off the main touristy quay. Pleasant outdoor seating in hot and sunny Cassis. Inside looks a little dated and dark. Toilet facilities ie cubicle (singular) is very basic, alas, but not bad. Recommendable for food and service. Booking in advance recommended
This is the second time I've come and once again it was pure joy.
The service: the couple running this restaurant are adorable and friendly.
The setting is great: just a few tables, a sofa, the open kitchen, it feels like we're at home or at a friend's.
The cuisine: evolving over the days and seasons with fresh, quality products. I was able to taste salmon and spinach lasagna in March and yesterday squid a la plancha. Perfectly cooked and seasoned.
Only a few dishes per day but which promise great research and quality.
We were even able to have gluten-free dishes for the coeliacs reading this! (As the card changes regularly this is not guaranteed, it is better to contact them).
Guess what: I'm going back before my train tomorrow!
Excellent address! We were 3 vegetarians including one person allergic to gluten and the restaurateur/service was able to adapt with a smile and fresh, seasonal and well-cooked products, not to mention the very popular children's menu. That's what we call a professional! You can go there with your eyes closed and a light heart.
Had a fantastic lunch for an 85th birthday today. Was excellent from start to finish , the food was superbe , complemented by a very professional staff all who spoke great English and made us feel very relaxed and welcome. My mother has to eat gluten free which was dealt with perfectly - she had expertly modified versions of everyone elses plates which were every bit as delicious. As for the setting , it is just magnificent. Would definitely recommend this wonderful experience.
We had a very pleasant time. The cuisine is inventive, light and tasty. In addition, I am gluten intolerant, and not only did they take this into account but also, the pastry chef herself being gluten intolerant, made desserts that I was able to taste. The location on the terrace by the water is magnificent. The team in the rooms is very welcoming and professional. Thanks to the whole team.
I ordered the swordfish with a side of pasta, but since I am gluten free I asked if the side of pasta could be replaced with the risotto.I was told there are absolutely no changes to the menu....well it was really a pasta dish with small, cubed and what appeard to be precut frozen swordfish pieces due to its chewiness along with a few olives and sauce..... totally underwhelmed! The service and atmosphere were really great..but the food was very disappointing.
