My husband and I split the platter and holy moly there was a ton of fresh seafood! Highlights for…read moreme were the raw oysters and the warm shrimp. The seasoning on warm items was very flavorful. I skipped some of the cold items (snails, small shrimp) because they were either too hard to eat or I didn't like the taste. Surprisingly, the best thing we had was the lobster bisque. I don't think I'd get the platter again. The seafood was okay but I don't know that it was worth the price. The lobster we had had very little meat inside. Service was friendly but the restaurant was basically empty the whole time we were there. Hopefully it picked up once we left because this is a local spot a little off the beaten path of tourist restaurants.

We showed up here without a reservation but it wasn't full so we got seated immediately. With a very nice wine list and even nicer menu choices this restaurant deserves praise. Only 2 people in the dinning room area for waitressing and putting orders and it runs perfectly. We had so many good things... I can tell you that anything out of that kitchen will be delicious. My wife ordered the surprise menu... which was a three course dinner of anything the chef wants to prepare for you. Everything was perfect. Beautiful presentation and all explained to you by the waitress. We also ordered a seafood dish with a lobster sauce that was delicious as well as my fish. All cooked perfectly. Great Restaurant, great service, awesome food.

Superb fish focused restaurant, a must try if you are a fish lover…read more Went on an offer from restaupolitan where you get a free dinner for 1 for a minimum of 2 people booking (must be a la carte and order minimum of 2 drinks) My parents went for that offer but I went with the discovery menu (4 courses for 38,5€). First the table gets an amuse bouche of coconut milk creme with seabass, coral lentils and sea lettuce. As starter we had the Monkfish and panais puree and for me the salmon on caramelised chicory. for mains we had the turbot wit carrot puree and shitakee and gingerbread. I had the pollock with pleurote, celeriac and bulgur risotto. I had a dessert, as included in the menu and it was a delicious apple and cinnamon souffle with an apple granite! The fish is fresh and perfectly cooked and staff is super nice and good service! I will comeback next time I'll be in the area

This used to be a very good place but quality has went down dramatically over the past few years…read more Most of the dishes have a very generic flavor which makes me wonder if everything is really home made at this restaurant. Bread usually tells you if the restaurant cares about food quality and what they serve you here is a piece of frozen baguette. Even the oysters, one of their signature dish on the menu, do not appear the freshest. Nothing very appealing, really. And service is still overly pretentious considering the mediocre quality food served at this restaurant.

I recently visited this restaurant while in Lille. I enjoyed the food very, very much - except for…read morethe main course. The bread was fantastic. I had the Croquettes with shrimp as the appetizer, which were fantastic, and the creme brulee as desert - one of the best I've ever had. However, the surf-and-turf main course was very disappointing. The steak was very bland (although tender), and the seafood portion consisted of one giant shrimp (one!). The rest of the dish was filled with salad (mostly lettuce). Otherwise, the atmosphere was lovely, the wine selection was outstanding and the service was great. I think I'll probably give this restaurant another try to see if I simply chose the wrong main dish.

The staff at the counter were friendly and helpful as before. We watched from across the way as the kitchen prepped our seafood, yelled out my name when it was ready and walked it over to our table. This time we got the razor clams and mackerel during both visits and those were our favorite. Razor clams were still the best we've eaten to date. Mackerel perfectly pan fried with skin that easily separated. The tartar like sauce was a great complement for the fish. The octopus was cooked nicely and served in a tomato sauce with chopped veggies. The calamari rings were crisp on the outside and tender inside, a good dish but portion seemed small. As usual a tasty serving of seafood at reasonable prices.

My family got the Filet Mignon and they all liked theirs and they were cooked to order. I got the Kangaroo steak (see photo). Everything was tasty. The Kangaroo is likely a dish I wouldn't get again as it just wasn't my thing. Perhaps it was just the sauce/gravy and the Kangaroo was good. I'm not sure. Service was a little slow and the restaurant wasn't that busy. I just don't think they were in a rush for anything. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation.
