"I used to work and live in Boulogne and ate here regularly. This place is definitely not worth your time or money. We came on Valentines night, the place stank of bleach and off fish, not a good start. We had one waiter who spoke...English and was very helpful and kind. The other staff are rude and arrogant. The amuse bouche was edible but not amazing. Our children had chicken and cod respectively with pasta. The chicken was very bland , the cod smelt off and tasted bland and past its best. Then my wife and I had scallops to start which were of mediocre quality. Then the mains arrived. I had the Brill in place of Turbot, because the Turbot had sold out. It smelt strongly of off fish and was like eating wet cotton wool. Now I am a fisherman… I have caught literally hundreds of Turbot and Brill and it should flake in your mouth with delicious sweet flavour. If you imagine wet loo paper smelling like old fish this is what you will receive. Then came the worst bit. Rather than to cause a fuss inside the restaurant with other valentines guests enjoying their meal, I decided to discreetly take the waiter to one side and explain that the food was not of good quality and I would prefer not to pay for that dish. Yes I would pay for the rest of the meal, but not that dish. I was then taken into the kitchen by the “boss” if you can call him that. He wanted to show me his fresh fish. I was met by around staff all staring at me and mentioning “Les Anglias”, “Brexit”, “this is French fish”, trying to provoke the age old UK France fish war story, you don’t know what fish this I s, and a barrage of insults along those lines. I have NEVER seen anything so unprofessional. YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR CUSTOMERS INTO YOUR KITCHEN TO INSULT THEM WHEN THEY ARE PAYING YOUR BILLS. Message to anyone reading this avoid it like the plague, they are arrogant, rude, unprofessional, expensive and to top it all the food is revolting."

We had a perfect dinner at this (new) place. It was more than a substitute for the place where we wanted to go first. The neighboring restaurant was nearby. Happy to see La Matelote. Perfect service and excellent food. We can recommend this professional place for a special dinner session 100%. View menu

We had a great time, from the reception, well being at the evening meal, everything was perfect. I emphasize the professionalism and attention of staff. A real happiness! The flavor menu of the sea is cordial and divine. Bravo Mr. Lestienne and the team. In addition, if not the price compared to the benefits. Good continuation! 17/12/2016

a very good entry, dish and dessert at 35€ at noon. We had a very good lunch and there was a lot: 7 adults, 4 children and a baby. a room was privatized for us, which allowed us to be a little isolated without disturbing other customers, it was cool. ideal for many families. fresh foie gras lamb salad and spicy taboulé, the perfect sweet chocolate mignarde
Sylvie
Very large restaurant, several lounges compose it with a burning atmosphere, beautiful decoration. High-end staff and adventurous service. Unbelievable aromas, weddings of flavors, every dish surprises us in the desert, magistral! To be recommended, the menu of flavors! The excellence of French tradition with all the ingenuity and the perfect know-how of Tony Lestienne! Bravo View menu

how to translate a contrasting opinion. Everything was going well until dessert. refined dishes, attentive services, warm setting. in brief we were in a starry establishment and a good evening. comes the time of coffee (for me) and tea (for my wife) and there it gets complicated. choice first, but this is recurring in many restaurants. for tea we only offer a green tea with mint and that comes the time to serve it we have heard this incredible phrase. "for mint tea, I know it exists, but we don't have it."! more seriously, why there is no possibility of different choices to finish a good meal. we are in a starred restaurant, with mouth-watering and mignardises with 5 choices for sugar and no...
