Tout Va Bien: Mussels and Fries at Tout Va Bien
dave123taylor Says: We wanted the Classic Mussels and Fries on the Harbour front at Dieppe. No it's not the classiest of restaurants, it's got more of a cafe' feel to it. The furnishings are adequate, the prices are reasonable and the food and service was food.The plus side is they serve the...
Bistrot du Pollet: The best in Dieppe
unhappyhammer Says: The menu is displayed on a blackboard outside and is changed daily, we have been going for a few years and the dishes tend to stay the same, they do change from time to time though. It's quite small inside and you will need to book ahead, especially at the weekend. We really...
(Can't remember, sorry): Drinking Madness!
amapola66 Says: Maybe worth a mention, but if you are looking for a bar/pub with some colourful local personalities, and some less corporate music, head straight up the main street (away from the sea) that the Saturday market is on. There is a bar right at the end , on the right hand side,...
dave123taylor Says: There is lots of free parking on the front but does get full at peak times.Get there early or allow time to drive round, there's also lots of paid parking around Dieppe.

dave123taylor Says: Getting in , out and around Dieppe is very easy by car.Dieppe is not a big town so the car is only needed if travelling out of Dieppe or maybe if going to one of the edge of town supermarkets for supplies. (Although supplies are plentiful in town)We Travelled along the coast...
sue_stone Says: In June/July 2006 we had a 9 day driving holiday in France. We caught a car ferry from Dover to Calais, drove down through Normandy, popped into Brittany and then caught the ferry back to Dover from Boulogne-sur-Mer.We chose to take our own car over, as the cost of the ferry...
amapola66 Says: 2006 - Update : This service is no longer available much to the people of Brighton's dismay - Hopefully it will return. You now need to catch a ferry (longer journey of 4 hours).The Seacat is the fastest route to Dieppe from Newhaven. It runs in the spring, summer and autumn...

mwe Says: Classic cars can be seen in pictures on some of my other Dieppe Tips.This is the original (1937 to '55) Fiat Topolino 500, which preceded the better known (1957 to '73) 500, which morphed into the 126 (the last small rear-engined Fiat) in 1973.The second picture of this tip...

dimilag Says: A service charge of 12.5 – 15% is usually included by law, but most people will still leave a small tip of approximately 5 – 10% for excellent service.

Dieppe for the day - OK! Dieppe overnight - Not on a Sunday night! Dieppe is a place of staggering banality. The Dieppe market is on a Saturday and probably the livliest event in the town. On Sunday...
