Poissonnerie Laurent, Seafood restaurant at port of Cassis, France.
Poissonnerie Laurent is a seafood restaurant at the Cassis harbor with a fishmonger counter at ground level and dining rooms upstairs. The spaces overlook the Mediterranean port and feature fish and shellfish prepared in various styles.
The place began as a fishmonger shop in 1880 and later expanded into a full restaurant while keeping the original fish counter at the front. This growth shows how a local business evolved alongside its community over many decades.
The establishment reflects Mediterranean dining traditions through its use of local catches and regional recipes passed down over generations. Diners experience the connection to fishing heritage that has shaped this place and its food culture.
Visitors can find the restaurant right at the harbor and buy fresh fish or dine indoors for a longer meal. Both walk-ins and reservations work well depending on how much time you want to spend.
The owner goes by the nickname 'Soupe' and still sells homemade fish soup for takeaway following a family recipe. This personal touch connects the place's past as a fishmonger with what it offers today.
