We visited Cassis for a few hours while staying in Marseille. A couple of bar owners and taxi drivers told us we should go.
Our bus was delayed by an hour some didn't arrive until gone 2pm, so we were concerned that the restaurants would be closed.
Thankfully we found Poissonnerie Laurent. We were warmly welcomed and our waiter was cheerful and helpful with the menu.
My wife had Moules Provencal, which came in a huge pot with a tomato sauce, chips and bread. They were big and plump, perhaps because they were baked.
I had a Small Bouillabaisse. It's a good job I ordered a small one because it was huge. A plate of potatoes, with mussels and a whole Gurnard plus at least a dozen large croutons, rouilly and grated cheese and a tureen full of soup. The waiter explained how I should eat it, which was helpful. It took an age to eat it because there was so.much, but it was fantastic. I highly recommend the restaurant and the dish.
All washed down with a glass or two of local Rose wine which was lovely. A touch of salinity, red fruits, herbs and lovely and off dry.
We even had room for a Lemon Meringue tart which came with the most incredible cassis I've cream.
The service was prompt, we were never rushed, and the bill came to €105, which was very reasonable for such a fabulous meal great service overlooking the Port.
Highly recommend.
