La Vieille Auberge

Decent place to hop to a dinner with no reservation. Quite good, although some dishes lack finesse. Fish soup is very good, as well as veau cheeks. As to desserts, go for cold and hot apple.

Great location and view. I was expecting more from the food, except for dessert that was really good (sorbet). 2 Menu options are available, for 34€ and 48€. Book in advance by phone and ask for a table inside or outside.

Great location on the port and the setting inside was nice. But we were sadly let down by our bouillabaisse. We ordered this local speciality as a treat (nearly €100 for two people to share) and one of the crabs was black on the inside and smelled absolutely foul. Our whole table of 12 could smell it. The staff first tried to say that it was not off, then attempted to claim that it was only for decoration on the plate, which they didn’t specify when they gave us the dish and even so you cannot serve putrid crab on the same plate as fish to eat. Both excuses unacceptable. No apology or acknowledgement of the validity of the issue, which was extemely awkward and ruined the tone of our evening for the whole table. Even aside from this, the other fish in the bouillabaisse was tough and flavourless. My husband grew up in Cassis and knows this is not normal for the dish - a complete letdown. They wouldn’t take any money off the bill for the rotten crab, not even a small amount as a gesture of good will. Other dishes seemed fine but uninspired and not fresh. TOURIST TRAP AND A RIP OFF WITH RUDE STAFF. Take our advice and try one of the other delicious local restaurants!

We went to La Vieille Auberge for lunch during our day trip in Cassis, and had a great experience. The location is right along the port and easy to find. I ordered the sea bream and it was super fresh with very minimal seasoning, all it needed was just some fresh lemon. Every table get fresh bread and roasted vegetables in the house. The service was attentive, our server cut the fish up for us so it was easy to eat. Definitely recommend!

Best restaurant in Cassis!! I’ve been going there for years, never been disappointed! The food is super fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff is very nice and the atmosphere is warm. Their formulas (starter + main dish + dessert) are a great value for money. Don’t forget to make a reservation!

Great down-to-earth restaurant. Cozy and friendly atmosphere. Good fresh food and Great prices. Better to book before during high season.

Loved this restaurant! They do a great deal for 34 euros, a starter main and dessert all great portions. Everything was delicious, would recommend. Beautiful view of the dock and cliffs in the back.

Delicious food, friendly and efficient service, good wine, a great selection and a nice location dockside in Cassis. It's a little calmer as well on this side of the Dock. We had the grilled Sardines and vegetarian lasagne. Both were delicious! A good rose by the glass as well.
