Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We did a roadtrip and cross also Dunkerque. After parking the car. We walked around the city. Around lunch we going to the beach for lunch. At Le Comptoir de la Mer we look at the menu and we are okay to take A seat. After 1hour30 we eat very well get a nice lunch and drinks. A nice menu with food and drinks. The food was delicious and a lot choice for drinks. Nice place!"
"Friendly staff, nice and clean, grazing boards presented amazingly and good quality food, good place for english people (menus and staff spoke really well)"
"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."
"Great food which came quickly and the quality was above our expectations and impressive! Wide range of homemade deserts which would definitely recommend and the view made the location perfect. Will certainly come back again next time and will recommend to friends"
"Delicious food. Huge portions of muscles. The fish of the day was the best I’ve ever had. The burger was outstanding."
"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."
"My friend and I had a great experience at Le Comptoir de la mar. I had mussels in creamy Dijon sauce .My friend had fish and chips but requested mayonnaise which was made strait away from scratch . We had Cider from Breton France. We are from UK and Canada."
"Quite good value for the food and drinks, the mussels and burgers were great and linguine was decent, friendly waitress and convenient location near the dunkerque museum with plenty of parking"
