Restaurant Calendal

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

Had a lovely dinner at this restaurant. The waiter was super helpful and kind and was able to accommodate to our dietary requirements (gluten free) and give us advice on the different dishes. They were able to change some of the dishes including the moules gratinee to make it gluten free. We loved the vibe of the place and the food was really delicious. I would definitely return and recommend this place to my friends and family if they were visiting.
