"This is one of the restaurants with outside seating around the church square. We have had drinks at all of the places over the years as it is such a perfect outside space (save the bikers on Sunday doing their best to imitate Marlon...Brando but could no how kickstart a lawnmower). We had what we wanted as a light meal one night and said let’s try one of the places and picked this one as I had an oyster craving. We both started with soups de poisson, fish soup. It was very good with just the right graininess that comes from ricing the cooked fish. Judy said it was lacking in depth of flavor, but we ate outside on a cool Fall night where the soup cooled quickly and that might have been the reason. The weak point was the rouille, which is spread on toasted croutons and dropped in the soup to soften. Rouille is best described as garlic/sweet red pepper mayonnaise. Classically made the old way, everything is ground in a stone mortar and pestle and the olive oil embraced in small amounts with great amounts of arm power. This one lacked an adequate garlic kick but was ok. I then had a couple of different oyster varieties, which were fresh as can be and excellent. If for no other reason, I’d come back here for shellfish. Judy wanted a small salad but asked for a small salad Nicoise, which is never very small. It came with a perfect hard boiled egg (almost liquid center), two slices of tuna with a fired crust, some sweet pepper strips, some what might have been canned black pitted olives and greens I’d be ashamed to serve in my house. Lots of bruised leaves of lettuce and arugula, and the ugly looking outside leaves escarole and lettuce. And all was overdressed. That fourth star is in the details. But I would come back here for the shellfish."

Popped in latish on Saturday evening. Luckily we got a table for inside. Busy place so service was not fast but food was very good.

Overall a nice experience. Food was good. Only suggestion is to have more then waitor working. Poor gentleman was all alone with some help but may have been easier if more wait was working.

The young lady and the chap serving us were very good. But not enough personnel for the quantity of customers. Very good crab , fish soup (I had the Royal) and grilled sole. Wine list could be better.

We went with our children The little pirates menu had a choice of fish, mussels or a burger with veggies or chips plus ice cream and a drink. The adults seafood choices were very nice. The outdoor square seating was great in early autumn.

My toy poodle and I went to Au Bistrot Marin last night, and we weren’t disappointed. I had mussels prepared with some kind of herb coating. Exquisite! A glass of their white house wine. And home made tiramisou for dessert with coffee. It was relaxed...and comfortable, quiet, I had good service. And they let me leave a tip on the check. I will be in this region for another two weeks, and I will return to this restaurant. View menu

We really enjoyed this brasserie. They seem to specialize in fish and just about everyone was ordering the mussels. We had the starter with the three dips....olive paste (tapenade), anchovy dip (anchoiade) and garlic mayo (aioli) served with hot bread sticks and a great assortment...of raw veggies. All delicious. Then we had a zucchini gazpacho that was really tasty, and a small nicoise salad, also delish. We also tried the lamb which was tender with a lovely sauce. The servers were friendly, kind and efficient despite the fact that our French was really poor. Glad we stopped here. Lots of locals there as well.

poor service- on beautiful, cool, Provence evenings too many tables are crammed into too small of a space (your seat back will be touching the table behind you, the sides of the tables touching adjoining tables and the umbrellas will be UP) keeping you...away from the views of the moon and the stars and keeping the fresh evening air away from you...food is mediocre altho we have had excellent oysters here. When they served mussels w/out any utensils, I got up helped myself to forks...better than trying to flag down someone who cared (they don't) for appropriate table service. Skip this- go to Fontvieille or Mourries or St Martin de Crau for dinner- it will be better not nearly as expensive t...
