La Rose des Vents

In a small regional-style building near the docks, this young couple beautifully showcases local ingredients. Example dishes include pressed sea bass with sand carrots, chervil sorbet; fillet of hake, beurre blanc with sea aster, mashed sandy potatoes; baba with a citrus syrup, cream with lemon balm… Tasty and expertly executed cuisine!

The top floor of this entirely revamped 18C salt barn is home to a fashionable, stripped-back restaurant decked in raw materials that commands a panoramic view over the Somme Bay. According to the dictionary, a schorre (or a salt marsh) refers to an “upper coastal intertidal zone of thick mud, covered by grass and regularly flooded by high tides”. Chef François-Xavier Sailly regularly renews his creative gourmet score with unexpected combinations.
