舒适小屋距格里内角一步之遥

Tucked away in the lush green countryside, this 19C former farm is now an exquisite gourmet establishment. A huge, paved courtyard is framed by historic stone buildings dripping in character, the outhouses of which have been converted into cosy guestrooms. The inviting, airy dining room sports a glazed façade and a warm vibe courtesy of a log-burning fireplace. The establishment’s sensibly priced food is indulgent, wholesome and deftly crafted with local produce and showcased in a well-balanced, authentic menu.

A pleasant establishment that holds the ingredients and artisans of the Côte d'Opale and Pas-de-Calais areas in high regard. Chef Emmanuel Pillot and Laura Gambart met at La Liégeoise in Wimereux, where he was sous-chef and she was front of house as cheffe de rang. The dishes leave you in no doubt that this seasoned chef knows his craft. The starter strikes a lovely balance of flavours with a slow-cooked egg, Wissant shiitake, parsley and buckwheat; the tender free-range chicken is accompanied by a medley of Ratte potatoes; and a delicious take on a classic riz au lait. Pure bliss!

A family-run business that pays tribute to women must be a good sign! A “matelote” is the fisherman’s wife, whose talent cannot be equalled when it comes to preparing fish, just like that of this establishment devoted body and soul to seafood (but not to the exclusion of other ingredients). Fish and shellfish are crafted in keeping with culinary tradition and with the firm intention of encouraging sustainable fishing. Save room for the patriotic line-up of Gallic desserts, such as soufflé, the house signature dish.

This restaurant, which feels like a smart bistro, ticks all the boxes. Here, Tony Regnier, who trained at some prestigious establishments, conjures up really modern cuisine with creative touches, flawlessly executed and flavoursome, to be savoured in a tastefully decorated room, or on the pretty flower-filled terrace. The guinea fowl and pistachio terrine served with apple chutney left a lasting impression!
