Bellevue - Le Crotoy

This restaurant is somewhat outside the city center of Le Crotoy. We had high expectation. But the moijto ordered as an apetizer was not fresh at all (it was as it came from a ready-made-bottle). The smoked salmon, as an entry, was fresh but not...very original. Our main course was on the other side great: risotto with bar fish. Very well made and fresh. The chocolate mouse was ok but there was something with the meringues. Do you see some positive things, but also some negative points.

This restaurant is a bit further away north of the small city center of Le Crotoy, it is located on the beach. You may not see the water depending on the tide but the view with sand up to the horizon is still exceptional. The...food is delicious, based mainly on sea food. It is a short menu but it is extra fresh and cooked with delicacy. The indoor is modern, pretty and extra clean. Great restaurant and good value for price paid.

Food is great, service too. They were very accommodating (my wife is pregnant so we had lots of questions), and the food was great. They have a menu for eurso where you get a starter, main course and dessert that I would totally recommend....They have also a blackboard in the dining room where they indicate the provenance of each ingredient. Too bad we went for dinner and there was no light, cause the view of the sea must be wonderful.

We made our reservation in the Michelin App and read several of the reviews so were expecting an exciting dinner ! The restaurant is situated in a beautiful position overlooking the spectacular sand banks in Le Crotoy! The evening was particularly warm and sunny so...we decided to sit indoors. There were only two waitrons on duty and service was no fast but acceptable and wine water bread and food did all take a while but we decided that it was a relaxed evening. My oysters were tiny but very fresh and tasty served on a bed of seaweed with a overly strong vinagarette My partner thoroughly enjoyed the melon and prawn soup which was elegantly served with additional soup My partner had the hake with risotto ! The hake was fine but the risotto was stodgy and too creamy and served with a crispy kale I had seen a dish of cod with samphire and mussels being served to another table which looked delicious My main arrived with delicious mussels, fresh samphire and very tasty creamy sauce. The fish however was not the cod but tail ends of tasteless hake ! Despite bringing this to the attention of the waitress I did not get any response nor any explanation The fruit soup was reasonable and the plum dessert fresh and tasty The wine list was quite extensive Although they recommend making a reservation there were only tables The restaurant was in need of a make over as it was all a bit drab and tired and most of the orchids were dead!

We visited on my husbands Birthday, had a lovely table with a view, although they do ensure all tables have some sort of view. Kir royals to start and the euro set menu, highly recommended, a special and delicious dining experience. Service friendly...and professional but not intrusive, would definately go back on our next visit to Le Crotoy.
