la poissonerie laurent

Beautiful location and pretty restaurant. We hadn't booked so they asked us to sit at a quayside table while they found a table for us. Very helpful in finding us a table but things went downhill after that. We both decided to have moules frites the moules were ok in themselves but I had 6 closed ones which is a lot for one dish. We were not given a bowl to wash fingers or wipes. I had Provençal sauce which had a strange flavour and was quite unpleasant. My wife had the cream sauce which was better but a bit thick and claggy. The frites were also disappointing as they were thick cut and not very good. Looked to be plenty of similar good places to eat but this was a poor choice. I think they are relying on their location and not their food

We're local which is why I've said we won't be back. As everyone says, the location like all the rest is great, It's a fast food joint and has great chips but the rest is inconsistent and with fish, that's the kiss of death. The other problem is that the tables are too close together, the chairs are really uncomfortable for sitting for very long and the staff are rushing back and forth lie a marathon which basically gave me indigestion!

Let me start by stating that the restaurant is perfectly situated with a beautiful view of the surrounding scenery; service was good. But when you go to a place like this you expect the food to be relatively edible and probably fresh; it was NEITHER.Fritures mixtes: a mix of mini fish deep fried and a staple of southern french and Mediterranean cuisine was a total failure. The fish were not fresh (probably frozen), not crunchy and tasted stale with a lost a bitter taste.Souped de poisson: the fish soup was blah! Noix de St. Jacques: Although we were told they would be fresh, they were not. Also way overcooked and dry and covered with too much pesto sauce and french fries! Summary: expensive but bad food in a beautiful setting; someone should buy them out!

Cassis is full of good places to eat and on the marina front outside in good weather couldn't really get any better however I felt the meal we had here could most certainly have been better for the price !This place is a specialist fish venue so choosing a fish dish has to be the way to go...we chose fish soup as a starter which was the same as everyone else's fish soup and I felt it could have been better in content and presentation for 12 euros or thereabouts .!was no different to the bottled fish soup you see in any supermarket.Similar situation with the main course...ordered a sole meuniere which was Ok but not memorable and again at 24/25 euros for the dish, could have been better presented with some vegetables or something to add colour !I ordered a local white which was dull and without any body but that was my fault not the restaurant's !Overall not a great meal and for 88 euros for 2, we could have done better elsewhere in the town so you need to shop about and ask the locals for guidance !

What a lovely place overlooking the harbour in cassisWe loved it so much we went back for dinner The fresh fish was simply amazing! Eric the owner was so helpful and friendly that he feels like a friend The staff rushed around to make sure everyone was looked afterTry the mussels and the fish is a must

Cassis is magnificent. La Poissoniere was quite good as well. The Moules were good and the gambas were very good. We had a red wine with our meal despite the waiter's insistence that we have a white or rose.

Right on the port front, this busy restaurant serves fish. The meal we had was OK - nothing terrible but nothing noteworthy - perhaps its success is due to its location rather than the food?
