Description

A stone's throw from Étaples marina, Pierre Chavatte's restaurant sports a contemporary decor with wood details, and the kitchen as a backdrop. Generous and precise, particularly when it comes to sauces, the cuisine is a hit. The prawns with spinach, black garlic and cashews are a pure delight; the oh-so-tender red mullet is elevated by a bouillabaisse-style broth. For dessert, the pear in spiced wine sees an interplay of textures. A sincere, warm and indulgent spot.

Review summary

Racines is noted for modern, refined cuisine using local ingredients, with high praise for food quality, attentive service, and elegant decor. Diners appreciate the sophisticated flavors and professional team. However, some reviews highlight inconsistencies, such as undercooked meat, controversial dessert flavors, and slow service. Value concerns arise from significant price increases on Sundays and extra charges for items like sparkling water. While generally well-regarded for its culinary execution, experiences vary, with some guests finding the pricing structure and occasional service lapses disappointing.

Suitable for diners seeking refined modern French cuisine who can tolerate potential price fluctuations; consider avoiding Sundays or confirming menu details in advance.
