Wow from the outside was not expecting to be blown away but our experience here set a new high on…read moreour European journey this year. This is a single room restaurant with 7 seat bar and 11 tables inside. Plus an outdoor seating area in front. The atmosphere is very rustic with deep rich brown walls and lighter brown wood floors with a rouge celling and front accent wall. Soft music/ blues playing in the background; soft enough to have a nice conversation, or just sit and sip your wine (not that it has to be wine, as they have bier and spirits as well. Photos of famous blues musicians decorate their walls. Server with limited English, but that worked fine with our limited French...lol. We started with the house white, which has a lovely grapefruit bouquet with a sweet fruity taste; unfortunately too sweet for me, so I poured that into my wife's glass. I then ordered a house red, and wham the red was sensational! We had their cheese salad and shrimp skewers... wow fantastic!!! We were not going to do dessert but we saw this trio that other patrons ordered.... yogurt with fruit sauce, brownie with whip cream and praline icecream, and a small cup of chocolate mousse...Yum!!! We were very happy campers when we left!!! If we lived in Dunkirk area, we would be regulars here!!!!

Outside you have a terrace overlooking the town hall, which is heated when it gets a bit too cool. And upstairs you have a nice little restaurants serving, amongst other things, the prize-winning potjevleesch - a selection of cold pressed meats in jelly, served with chips. Sounds disgusting but it's actually nice ! The menu is fully translated into English too, which is useful.

Les tables sont proches les unes des autres, et le service est efficace.

I dream about it. It was amazing and I wish I could recreate it or find it in the states. My spouse like the moules as well. If I had to live on one food forever, this would be it. If I would to die tomorrow, I'd want this as my last meal. I hope they still make it and name it after me. I should add that this was in July 2016

Was expecting something Chinese-like in aroma and flavor. More like pasta primavera. Maybe that is just the way they serve it, but when the only thing Asian was the rice cake and bean sprouts on top.....a let down On the burger front, nice side salad. Patty was tasty but too small for the bun (Now I know to order double patty). The bacon on mine was essentially not cooked and far too much fat for my teeth to cut through. Had to pull it out and leave on the side. Fries were undercooked, soggy, and cold. It was a Tuesday night in Dunkirk in mid June. Maybe just an off night with the B team in the kitchen.

I was in town at the end of November so most restaurants on the beach were closed and the town quite deserted. Thankfully this place was open. Excellent service by waiter whose English was far better than he thought. He apologized but his English was quite good. Mussels and fries came with vegetable soup and delicious French bread to soak up the wine with pepper sauce in which the mussels were served. I love spicy food so was happy for the pepper. Order them another way if you don't. There was enough food for two. I was starving after traveling all day and couldn't finish. For 19.50 Euros (about $22 at today's exchange rate) this feast was quite the bargain.
