Lunch in Cassis

[martyap]

We will be porting in Marseille and spending the morning in Aix and the afternoon in Cassis. Any suggestions for a restaurant for lunch? Nothing that requires a reservation, good views would be great. Also a shop to purchase nougats. We will be there on a Tuesday, Mid May. Thanks

The waterfront is lined with restaurants, all with the same great view and outside tables.  No reservations needed.  The menus are all posted outside, so just look at them and pick a place to eat.  We have been to several and they are all good. Local specialties: soupe de poissons (fish soup), moules-frites (mussels and fries), daurade grillée (grilled sea bream). 

 

For nougats there are a few souvenir shops around and near the port. Most of them will have them.

not nougats,  but calissons d'Aix, the local speciality of Aix,easily identified by their diamond shape but also widely available across the region. You could buy calissons  in Aix in the morning and buy nougats in the afternoon.😀😀
