One thing that's odd -- although not unique to this restaurant -- it makes zero sense to order items a la carte -- the pricing is much lower if you order one of the set menus.

I love mussels. Chris's dad loves mussels. He says, 'They're great if you don't look at them.'…read moreAfter only being able to exercise my carnivorous instincts upon seafood for twelve years before rediscovering meat, I do like to look at them. Gross as they are, I like to look them right in the... eye?... shell?... weird, wrinked body?... and tell them how much I'm going to enjoy them via my unique sea-dweller telepathy. Now, I've only ever had mussels in the form of a starter, a big old shared crockpot with creamy white wine and herb sauce and a huge hunk o' bread of some kind. Now I'd heard of moules frites, and it had always intrigued me. Mussels wi' chips? How would that work? My Northern brain vexed itself. The only seafood I'd ever had with a side of fried pataters would be a chunk of battered fish or a good breadcrumby fishcake. Colour me interested. When Chris was telling me of all the marvellous things I could try in Le Touquet, including savoury crepes, sweet waffles, macarons, wine, all the amazing cheese, he asked me if I'd ever had moules frites and told me he'd take me to La Chope to try them, a gallant act considering he deems all seafood poison. And, well, him saying anything Frenchy just makes me stupid and girly. Remember this review, yelpers? http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/le-marche-francais-edinburgh#hrid:Oi_5UyrpkYJw39UFIZcQ7Q If you're following the story of our hilarious decade-build-up romance, it was pretty obvs at this point that I was goo-goo eyed over him. Ahem, anyway, less of my lovelife, back to les moules! So the three of us trundled through the pretty town snow to grab us a good lunch at La Chope. I didn't realise how much of a tourist destination Le Touquet actually is, and this dish is something the visitors love, so La Chope cater to them well. The staff are friendly as soon as you enter, the beers are cheap (and blooming delicious - Chris's Belgian tipple was divine!) and the whole thing is done very theatrically. I was given a giant plastic bowl which looked salt-worn and fisherman-like to throw my shells into, and when the signature dish arrived it was a massively generous portion of mussels in a clear, herby broth of the like I'd never seen before, filled with garlic, shallots and parsley. And my big bowl of chips on the side was just heavenly. In fact most of the menu's dishes come with a side of chips - Chris's ham and his dad's steak being good examples - and these are less side portions, more separate portions in their hugeness. Awesome. Dash them with salt and vinegar and enjoy. Check the pictures and tell me you're not jealous. French-wise, the moules frites are really reasonably priced at just over 12 euros, and hilariously the beers are cheaper than the soft drinks. My coffee, a Lavazza, the only coffee of the entire trip for me (shocker I know!) was so kick-in-the-pants rocketfuel-style that I probably didn't need any more for the remainder of my stay. These continental folks and their coffee. Sheesh. An awesome introduction to Le Touquet town for me. I'll certainly be back for the same ritual next time!

Great place to…read moregrab a bite while looking out over the water, then take a stroll along the water and see the cliffs. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was clean. It's divided inside, sort of like an old house. They have outside seating for good weather days. Their coastguard burger was good; nothing special, just a good burger. As for their fish and chips, the fish was really good; light / flakey with minimal grease. Chips were average thick cut fries; nothing special there. Mushy peas, which they called "crushed peas", are about what they sound like - smooshed English peas, which is what they tasted like. Again, nothing special. The purple coleslaw was good; nice flavor. They use purple cabbage, which gives it the unique color, but seems fairly common in England.

Hands down, absolute worst restaurant experience ever (in Europe and across all continents). When…read morewe asked a simple question (if we could sit at a table with a better view; which we had requested on the reservation), the hostess started shouting at us in French: "you can leave if this table is not good enough", "speak French when you're in France" (we were speaking English among ourselves as my husband is American). Mind you, there was only one other table occupied in the entire restaurant (that alone should have alerted us that La Sirene is no longer what it used to be), and my mom speaks fluent French (and I can manage although my French has gotten rusty). She then got her husband and together they literally kicked us out while continuing their racist rant. The female host was by far the rudest and most small-minded woman we've ever encountered. She obviously only wants to host French people; never ever have we been shouted at in a restaurant by the staff. Having grown up near the French border, my family and I used to come to this restaurant every few years but now we will never be back. On to the positive -- we received a recommendation from friendly locals on the parking lot (who overheard our conversation as we walked out) who recommended we go to La Marie Galante instead. We were lucky enough to score the last table and are so glad that we ended up there. The staff at La Marie Galante was beyond friendly, the atmosphere cozy, and the seafood was excellent. Fun fact -- when we walked by La Sirene later that day, the restaurant was still not full (no surprise..) PS - Writing this review in English in the hope that no other non-French tourist has to go through this terrible experience.

Anyway, so I decided to get myself the "cheeseburger" which everyone raves on about so much, with a small fries. The cheeseburger was alright in taste, was not expecting cheese, so that was a pleasant surprise especially as I like cheese. However I would recommend that McDonalds warn people in the future that their cheeseburger does intact contain cheese. 4/10 Small fries were quite small, not enough to satisfy this appetite -if only there were a larger option. Bit dry, could do with more grease so to facilitate their journey down my digestive system. I only consider a fry to be sufficiently greasy if it can slide down my throat without being chewed, but maybe this is because I am incapable of producing saliva. 2/10 Cleanliness 9/10 there was a hair in my burger. It was my hair. I don't know how they got that. Architecture is incredible, gothic revival interior similar to that if the Houses of Parliament. Atmosphere really contributed to the gastronomic experience of this. Interest to visit other locations to see if their is part of the brand or a unique feature of this branch. 11/10 Overall rather disappointing however simultaneously fantastic. But what can you expect from a small chain.
