Just a few of my favourites include<br />
Aquar’aile which has magnificent panoramic<br />
sea views and a superb menu including<br />
succulent oysters and a scrumptious fruit<br />
de mer platter, leave room for a dessert or<br />
two – it’s hard to choose just one! Au Côte<br />
d’Argent has great views to the coast from<br />
where you can watch the Calais dragon pass<br />
by. With a light and airy dining room, and in<br />
the summer, a brilliant barbeque area and<br />
sunny terrace, the menu is just so tempting<br />
(from €28 for three courses – it’s a steal),<br />
and the food is superb. Enjoy a gastronomic<br />
feast at Le Grand Bleu in the port of Calais.<br />
Classic meets innovative here, hot-dog au<br />
boudin de St Jacques with spicy shrimps is<br />
absolutely irresistible!<br />
Feast on the atmosphere as well as the food<br />
at Les Grandes Tables du Channel at Calais’s<br />
National Theatre. With a restaurant serving<br />
modern classic dishes, (the 5-course menu<br />
de extraordinaire at just €42 really lives<br />
up to its name) and a cosy bistro serving<br />
local favourites in theatrically decorated<br />
surroundings, this is one of the best kept<br />
secrets of Calais and foodies will adore it.<br />
