“ €20 for two course lunch with a coffee - the fish comes with amazing sauce and the dessert is a apple cooked in sugar and shaved in a spiral like way. Absolutely amazing, authentic and homey. Would recommend. ”
“ As an American, this was an amazing experience. Out of several restaurants in Cassis I've gone to, these were the KINDEST people you could encounter. I highly highly recommend. Also the food was phenomenal and they can give great wine recommendations for people who don't know the French wine profiles. ”

A true gem by the sea — highly recommend to anyone visiting Cassis! ”
“ The staff were great, felt very taken care of. Bossman brought the live lobster to the table and made it say “bonjour”! Yummy fish soup, amazing brown butter lobster all deshelled for me (most helpful of them) and loovely poached apple dessert with chantilly. Ambience in the cool summer night and chatter in the alley very charming. ”
“ Feels that you visited a friend and they decided to make you a great meal. Great hospitality, excellent food, wonderful wine selections. I've been here twice so far, some of the best dining you can have in Cassis. Duck breast and rib roast for main courses. Duck was delicious with honey and a bit of mustard sauce. The steak was incredible. Must get au poive sauce, the best!!! Moules (muscles) were soon tasty and not heavy. No idea how this is done, but dip your bread in the sauce! Cannot say enough about the service and hospitality. Just go! Had lunch here as well, shrimp appetizer was great. Pork filet as well as whole fish were great ”
“ The food is excellent and priced affordably. The location is a little bit off the waterfront offering a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. Jean Marie and his staff are very friendly and attentive. My wife, children and I enjoyed dining here several times. At some point, I hope to return and try the bouillabaisse. ”
“ Jean Marie has been running this restaurant for the last 32 years. The cuisine is fresh and the owner is very friendly. Today, we enjoyed the menu du jour for $20, which included a main dish, dessert, and a coffee (see picture). It was delicious. This recommendation from a local customer did not disappoint us. Merci Jean Marie ”
