Oh! Mouettes

Oh! Mouettes restaurant in Calais boasts some of the very best panoramic views of the port in town. This traditional restaurant, owned by a trio of enthusiastic brothers, specialises in the freshest of wild fish and superb fruits de mer. The interior of this charming restaurant is modern and tasteful, in tones of gold and ochre with not a nautically-themed detail in sight, thank heaven. A dining room on the first floor has unbeatable views over the port, and there’s a lovely Terrace too. You might start with a little plateau of fruits de mer, then move on to something like grilled seabass fillet with béarnaise sauce, then one of the many home-made desserts, like the profiteroles. The service is utterly charming and the wine list has a nice selection of Alsatians.

La Buissonniere

Reviewed By hic-et-procul - Canterbury, United Kingdom

On a day-trip to Calais, with son, his wife and grand-daughter (6yrs), we had the distinct impression of a town 'closed for winter'. Seeing the sign for La Buissonnière, on looking at the outside menu Mme la Patronne welcomed us in. The restaurant is described as "Cadre 1930" in décor, which it is; small but not crowded.
A range of prix fixe table d'hôte and à la carte menus, all of beautifully presented and prepared dishes enables "fine dining on a budget", and each dish was carefully explained when our French was lacking. Our youngster was presented with a nice piece of fried 'cod-fish' and frîtes, which she thoroughly enjoyed, whilst the adults were able to enjoy an excellent gustatory experience.
One of us is dairy intolerant, and that was happily catered for.
(Should you be wondering, the appearance of "She's cake" on the menu is a French phonetic representation of "cheese-cake", apparently!)
Altogether a most agreeable time, and an excellent meal.

Au Cote d'Argent

Au Cote d'Argent restaurant right on the water at Calais faces the seawall with fascinating views of the watery parade of sea Ferries churning in and out. The dining room puts you in the mood for excellent seafood, with varnished wood-panelled walls, marine blue carpeting and upholstery, nautical detailing and huge plate glass windows for viewing the waves. Chef Bertrand Lefebvre trained with some of France���s greatest chefs ��� Paul Bocuse among them ��� before opening his own restaurant here. The cuisine is simple, elegant in a selection of menus that include dishes like chicken livers saut��ed with mushrooms in sherry, fillet of red mullet with rice and shellfish with saffron or half lobster without shell but with coral sauce. The service is warm, the cooking refined and sophisticated, the wines are French and the experience a delight.

Histoire ancienne

Histoire Ancienne restaurant in Calais is a classic bistro with 1930���s art deco d��cor, fresco painting that recalls Toulouse-Lautrec, Mucha prints, traditional zinc bar, tables laid in white linen, harlequin floor and open fireplace where local fish and meats are grilled. So far, so intriguing. Patrick Comte is a fourth-generation chef who trained in some of Paris��� most superb restaurants, including Le Crillon and Prunier, and here uses the finest local ingredients in inventive dishes like duck tartare with comfit tomatoes and parmesan shavings, grilled sea bream marinated in lemon, coriander and ginger. Order the warm chocolate cake with molten interior with pistachio cream at the beginning of your meal. There���s a proper vegetarian menu, too.

We have been here a few times but this day was hot and sunny so sat outside. Service is good ( if you speak French ). The sea food is always fresh as you can see from the photos. A good first lunch for the start of our weekend away.

Le Channel

Reviewed By Winslow96B - London, United Kingdom

From the moment of arrival the service was excellent. The decor of the restaurant is attractive and modern, bathrooms upstairs very clean and tidy and as a mark of a quality restaurant offer individual towel/flannels for washing hands. The food was good overall. The amuse bouche excellent, starter good too. The main course was mixed. One of the main dishes was more like a slab of fish and not very imaginative. Though the other fish course was good. Cheese and dessert were good though servings could have been a little more generous. Overall though a good meal and very good service . Restaurant was also full and popular, though more English accents present than French.

We had lunch here yesterday with two friends after filling the car boot with wine at Carrefour. We had booked but arrived 20 minutes before the requested time which didn't seem to cause any problem. We got a very friendly greeting and the service throughout the meal was impeccable. We all went for the €32 menu which was excellent. I had the cheese filled ravioli in mushroom soup with coppa which is an Italian Pork Salami somewhat like pancetta in taste. I then had the Limousine faux filet which was delicious and finished with a warm almond tart served with sliced fresh apple and an apple sorbet. Others had a scallop starter that looked wonderful, and plaice stuffed with langoustines or duck main course. The portion sizes are very generous and the accompaniments to the main courses were interesting and very well cooked. We look forward to our next visit
