Know This The restaurant offers field trips for school French classes (dependent on COVID restrictions).
Owners Gilles and Andrea Brassart run Cassis Bistro’s dining room with a mix of casual charm and French elegance, while partner and executive chef Dominique Moussu’s brilliance is evident in every plate of exquisitely prepared — and very French — food. Moussu is a heavy hitter who excels at fine-dining flourishes (including in the extraordinary take-home dishes he’s come up with throughout the pandemic), while the Cassis kitchen under head chef Dhanray Martin brings a special touch to accessible classics like steak frites and short-rib bourguignon. Cassis’s secret lies in its ability to take its food seriously without too much pretention, making it the perfect restaurant for both tried-and-true lovers of European cuisine and French first-timers.
