The waiters were welcoming and friendly, the food was delicious, and it was overall quite lively. Even inside seating had a good view of the ocean.

Really good find on the waterfront in Dunkirk. Great central location, dog friendly (outside on the Terrace). They have a wind-shielded glass fronted area out the front which we sat in (probably seats about 30 people). We were able to have great views of the beach and people watch as we enjoyed the Croquettes de fromage and Frites. Staff were super welcoming and very friendly. The only downside was the toilets. Its a huge place and there's only 1 x toilet for women and 1 x toilet for men. So the queue for the Ladies toilet was quite long. Meal was nice though and reasonably priced.

Ordered moules marinière, rice with dorad fish fillet and vegetables- both dishes were nice. As dessert we had lime+ coconut+ passionfruit/mango icecream and "chou" with ice cream, both were simply amazing. We were warmly welcomed. Recommended!

The view is very nice. No need to reservation. Foods were delicious but little bit small porsions. The prices are normal, standard for Europe. We prefered fish and chips, the fish of the day and 2 glasses of champagne.

Had lunch here in our first day. The place was very busy by the time we left. We had the welsh rarebit. It was far to much- tasty to begin with but neither of us could finish it as it got too ‘cheesy’. The other food coming out looked good but the portions are huge. We definitely felt like sleeping afterwards.
