We were looking for a quick dinner before getting Eurotunnel, but what an absolute gem we found here. We couldn't believe such a beautiful authentically French restaurant would be situated right by the Centre Commercial shopping centre in the middle of Calais (which is handy, as parking was free for 90mins!). This review will sound a little gushing, but having had to regretfully settle for McDonalds in the past due, to opening hours and the time of our crossings, we were just delighted to find this restaurant. The whole place excludes old world charm, as did Madame Patron and our her staff. The food was stunning and the bill very reasonable. It was an amazing way to finish our trip and an unexpected pleasure to find a place like this. Food was available from 5:30pm, although I think the usual opening time is 6pm - which is earlier than most proper restaurants . This meant we could have a lovely meal before getting our 8:15pm crossing. Thank you for an amazing experience.

This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. We have now visited it twice this year. We would thoroughly recommend it to others for a truly French experience … great food and service with a traditional atmosphere.

Typically French with a big F. Nothing had changed from previous visits, nothing needs to. Everything remains perfect from the decor, the wonderful table settings and the attentive, polite, friendly helpful staff. It made our trip fantastic .

This jewel of a restaurant made our trip to Calais. Four of us had a fantastic four course lunch. Service was excellent and our host was attentive and helpful throughout. A first class dining experience and we cannot wait to return

Very nice classic restaurant with wide variety of choices on the menu. Excellent service and very tasty dishes. Nice opportunity to also take demi bottles as we stopped here for a nice lunch on our full day trip.

Bonjour mr , Merci pour ce commentaire négatif concernant notre restaurant mais cela faisait longtemps que nous n’avions pas reçu de clients aussi désagréables , ne trouvant rien de bon de l entrée au dessert ce qui est incroyable! Nous pensions à vous offrir le dîner mais à quoi bon , se faire plaisir! Si nous avions beaucoup de clients comme vous ( ce qui est très rare juste pour que vous le sachiez ) nous ne continuerions plus ce beau métier qui nous passionne depuis toute ces années. De temps en temps il faut malheureusement dire la vérité Merci Cordialement Caroline et son équipe qui vous remercient

Whenever we visit France we either have lunch there when we arrive or when we are on our way home. Wouldn't miss it ever. Great lady who runs the place

Superb lunch. Warm welcome and everything was delightful. We had crab and soup poissons for starters and confit of duck cooked like a croquettes and chips and Rick had monkfish and rice, bith completely delicious. Dessert was pistachio and raspberry cheesecake and apple frangipane and calvados, fabulous. We had an excellent red Sancerre. All excellent value and a perfect slow speed to relish the food. I have to say, gaving been to Calais for the first time today, there is nothing to interest us to return, except this lovely restaurant.

Chose to our accomodation, we booked for 7 pm. Not surprisingly we were the first customers and benefitted from the undivided attention of the owner and maitre d' hotel. The atmospheres of the place was enhanced by an authentic Belle Epoque decor..The various tasting menus were all excellent and the wine recommandation perfect. An absolutely enjoyable experience
