    This has got to be the best place to enjoy the popular dish of Moules Frites (mussels and chips!) in Calais.
    We have been several times and have never been disappointed. They serve a good Muscadet to wash the food down with too.
    It is right next to the Railway Station and is easily recognisable.
    I have also tried other dishes and they have been of good quality too.
    The place is often frequented by locals which is always a good sign.
    Came her on August 11 2007 with Jo104 and I think she agrees with me too now

    Mussels and chips. The salads are good too.

    This is a must if you want luxury eating. The seafood platter is huge and excellent.
    The platter include winkles, shrimps, prawns both in and out of the shells. Crab, lobster, oysters and more! Try the lovely house Muscadet wine to wash it down with.
    It is not cheap but luxury never is!! Nice friendly waiters, lovely and bright restaurant.

    This is just a cafe attached to the station but the food is always good and the mussels and chips are really tasty (and quite cheap), washed down with a nice glass of Stella Artois.

    We always finish our continental driving holidays here.

    Mussels and chips, great value and gorgeous. Moules mariniere.

    When we arrived in Calais the shops were closed for lunchtime so when in Paris do as the locals do & go for lunch. Natalie (Nchram) took me to her favourite brassiere, it is a little stroll out of the market square.

    Natalie ordered her favourite mussels & chips, the healthy option being in white wine & parsley or if you're feeling naughty indulge in white wine, butter and cream. I chose the menu of the day For Euro 16 & had warm goats cheese followed by La Cabonarde flamande & for dessert creme caramel. We enjoyed a carafe of the house white wine.

    The brasserie opens from 6am for breakfast until 10pm and there is seating area outside as well as inside. The menu is in English as well as french & the waitresses do speak both languages but do appreciate those that try speak french.

    We first visited this restaurant in December 2002 with a group of friends. We became rather rowdy and raucous, and the staff joined in with the frivolities. We stayed well beyond their normal closing time of midnight, and some of the staff came back to our hotel to continue the fun until the early hours of the morning.

    On our second visit in January 2004, we were quite surprised that the satff recognised us. We obviously made quite an impression last time. This time we were on our own and very quiet, but we still managed to be the last to leave.

    Our third visit in December 2004, the staff again greeted us as long-lost friends and we received a couple of free drinks on the house. It makes you feel pretty special to be treated like a regular after such a long time.

    I love all their food here. We have tried the following during our visits:

    Home made paté
    French onion soup
    Snails
    Moules Marniere
    Baeuf Bourguignonne
    Steak Tartare
    Steak au Poivre
    Crepe Suzette
    Tarte au pommes

    I particularly enjoy their steak tartare. It is served cold with the raw steak mixed in with capers, finely chopped raw onion and egg yolk. I prefer it all mixed in rather than served seperately as they do in most restaurants.

    They have set menues ranging from 14 Euros to 25 Euros. Drinks extra.

    A buffet style dinner was set out at hotel Meurice. That was very enjoyable, laced with plenty of wine, dance and laughter.

    The French are good at catering, in my experience. About 130 packed lunches and it still looked elegant and tasted good too!

    I came here about 20 years ago and having been to a different restaurant in Calais for so many years thought it high time to come back. The food was just as good, the service excellent and the wine was superb.
    The chef served us some shrimps in garlic butter as a sampler which was a good touch.
    If you are looking for a cheap restaurant on a day out then forget it! This is a quality restaurant.

    Seafood platter to start consisting of clams, winkles, prawns, whelks, crayfish and shrimps.
    Main course was a beautifully served sea bass with salad. To finish I had the patisserie which was filled with strawberries and creme anglais.
