"Dinner at Malo-les-Bains seaside promenade was unforgettable. We tried several moules-frites recipes: Marinières (wine & herbs), Dijonnaises (with mustard), Fromagères du Nord (with maroilles AOP cheese – strong & delicious), and Fusion (with basil & sukiyaki sauce, so unique). We also shared a refined cheese platter. The restaurant was full but service was quick, efficient and always smiling. Watching the sunset on the beach while enjoying such a delicious and authentic meal made it the best experience in Dunkirk."

"We really enjoyed our visit to this restaurant, so much so that we went there for dinner twice during our stay in Dunkirk. The first night, we received exemplary service from the waitress who was incredible proactive in setting up our table, taking our orders and looking after us for the evening. However, the following night was the complete opposite; the waiter could not have looked any less interested in serving us.It was practically empty (only 2 other tables) and we still had to wait 20+ minutes to have our orders taken. We were ignored by this waiter the whole night and even had to go up to the bar so that we could get his attention and pay; it seemed as though he was more interested in socialising with the other customers/staff at the bar than being a waiter. The food was very good for both nights, please make sure that the waitress is rewarded as she was a gem. Menu has an allergy section which was most inclusive for my partner's dietary requirements."
