The restaurant was busy, popular with locals and visitors alike. Between the four of us we enjoyed...Moules Marinieres (x2) and Entrecôte steak (x2) both of which were very enjoyable. This was all washed down with a couple of large beers, glass of wine and a diet coke the bill came to 85 Euros. So an enjoyable and reasonably priced lunch and we would be happen to return.

Pas de Calais is not usuallly a gastronomic paradise, but there are a few good restaurants. Having visited L'Epoque in Berck last weekend I was pleasantly surprised. The food was...excellent! Moules Mariniere were superb, as was the Sole Meuniere and served at a very reasonable price. The big issue for this restaurant on a busy Sunday afternoon is the service. It was very slow indeed. We were going to have a dessert but, in the end, just couldn't wait any longer. From sitting down at the table to getting the bill was a slow 2 hours for just one course! The wait was pretty even; a long wait for the menus, a long wait for the order to be taken, a long wait for the food to arrive and a a long wait for the bill to arrive. Good food but needs better service.
