Michelin Restaurants in Cassis
Les Belles Canailles
The view from the terrace of this luxury hotel restaurant (popular with celebrities), which looks out over Cap Canaille, is quite simply sublime. Chef Nicolas Sintes, who grew up in Cannes, serves his guests Mediterranean-inspired cuisine that has a focus on fish, but also features, for example, local lamb and seasonal vegetables. However, you may prefer to opt for the chef's down-to-earth speciality of bouillabaisse borgne, followed by a wild bass and its broth of pistou soup… All accompanied by a Cassis or Bandol wine, as you would expect. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.

La Villa Madie
Nestling in Anse Corton, an unspoilt natural cove facing Cap Canaille, La Villa Madie is a beautiful contemporary building with a terrace, set in a dream location above the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Hailing from Normandy, chef Dimitri Droisneau has a CV to be reckoned with (La Tour d'Argent, Lucas Carton, Ambroisie); he fell in love with Provence, which serves as a constant source of inspiration. From dish to dish, his cuisine is light, subtle, flavoursome, fresh and aromatic, punchy when it needs to be, always surprising and original. All the magic of the South of France – produce from land and sea, its fish and herbs, wild and otherwise – is channelled to great effect in this cuisine. A case in point: the Carabineros prawn, red berry tartlet, in which the marriage of the iodine and saline of the shellfish with the fruit is in the realm of the celestial. Meanwhile, the charismatic sommelier has no shortage of savvy wine recommendations.

La Brasserie du Corton
The brasserie offshoot of Villa Madie continues to foster simplicity with its market-fresh ingredients and enticing surf and turf combinations. The set menus are different at lunch and dinner, as well as being changed on a weekly basis. Less expensive than at the original restaurant, the dishes here are just as tasty (beef tartare with Tamaris oysters, real Marseille sôcisse with fennel, lemon tart. When the weather is fine, head for the terrace, which commands a knockout view of the pretty bay.
