Outside you have a terrace overlooking the town hall, which is heated when it gets a bit too cool. And upstairs you have a nice little restaurants serving, amongst other things, the prize-winning potjevleesch - a selection of cold pressed meats in jelly, served with chips. Sounds disgusting but it's actually nice ! The menu is fully translated into English too, which is useful.

I dream about it. It was amazing and I wish I could recreate it or find it in the states. My spouse like the moules as well. If I had to live on one food forever, this would be it. If I would to die tomorrow, I'd want this as my last meal. I hope they still make it and name it after me. I should add that this was in July 2016

Was expecting something Chinese-like in aroma and flavor. More like pasta primavera. Maybe that is just the way they serve it, but when the only thing Asian was the rice cake and bean sprouts on top.....a let down On the burger front, nice side salad. Patty was tasty but too small for the bun (Now I know to order double patty). The bacon on mine was essentially not cooked and far too much fat for my teeth to cut through. Had to pull it out and leave on the side. Fries were undercooked, soggy, and cold. It was a Tuesday night in Dunkirk in mid June. Maybe just an off night with the B team in the kitchen.

Unfortunately, we did not take photos but the prices are decent and a half carafe of Chardonnay wine is €10.50 and very good. I had it with fish and chips and my partner had steak tartare. We were happy to find somewhere to eat and good ambience, good food, and really great service. That is something also that you will not find on the beach as people get seated quickly and are without drinks and food for a while. I give this thumbs up.
