Le Pavillon of the Westminster, a 1930’s luxury hotel and a flagship of the Côte d’Opale, boasts a velvety cocooned vibe and a black and ochre colour scheme. The dining room, hung with huge animal-themed tapestries, provides the backdrop to William Elliott’s creative seafood-centric score. Virtuoso talent and delicacy depict the craftsmanship lavished on noble ingredients like caviar, lobster, langoustine… Examples include Audresselles lobster in cherries and almonds underscored by an aceita di terga vinegar dressing. The terrace commands a view of the iconic La Canche lighthouse. Simpler fare

Modern Cuisine · Bib

€€

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.

Le Mezquité

Fusion, Mexican

€€€

Courgettes, samphire and salsa macha; avocado and chocolate parfait – this restaurant in Le Touquet successfully showcases its take on fusion cuisine, with a penchant for smoking certain food items. Chef Julien Szyndler prepares regional ingredients using Mexican methods, sauces and spices, for instance cochinita pibil (with pork marinated and cooked over mezquita wood) or mole poblano with duck. The food mirrors the couple's roots: he hails from nearby Valenciennes, while Laura Flores, his wife, is from Mexico: Puebla, to be precise (southeast of Mexico City).
