The Top 29 Places to Eat Near Le Cise

  1. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the beach huts and open sea, so the sunset does half the decorating at this coastal modern restaurant in Mers-les-Bains. Interior designer Caroline Tissier handled the rest in shades of blue and green, which feels either on-the-nose or exactly right, depending on your tolerance for thematic commitment. The chef runs a set menu built around Picardy seafood, scallops from small boats and pot-caught langoustines, kept simple and letting the ingredients argue for themselves.


  2. Rank 2. Le Goût du Large

    Modern Seafood


  3. Rank 3. Les Voiles d'Or

    Modern Seafood






  4. Rank 8. Crustum

    Modern French

    A deli counter full of pâté en croûte, foie gras, and pies greets you at the door, which sets the tone for this market-square restaurant in Abbeville. The couple behind it cook and run the floor together, turning out precise modern plates where the combinations are thought through rather than showy. Desserts get the same attention as the savory side, which isn't always the case.


  5. A converted mill overlooking the Somme Valley, this is a rural auberge where the chef runs a surprise tasting menu built entirely around local producers and independent fishermen he knows by name. The cooking is unfussy in the best sense, flavors clear and unhurried, the kind of meal that makes you realize simplicity is a skill. The wine cellar runs to over 300 bottles, and the terrace earns its reputation on a good day.


  6. Rank 10. La Table d'Elka

    Modern French

    A renovated farmhouse with a glass extension looking out over the chef's own orchard and herb garden sets the scene for this fine dining room in a quiet corner of Normandy. The cooking is rooted in classic French technique, with locally caught turbot and seabass doing most of the heavy lifting, but the odd dashi or raisin turn up to keep things interesting. Dress accordingly: this is a proper sit-down affair.



  7. The dining room wears its animal tapestries and black-and-ochre palette like a well-tailored suit, and the terrace looks out over La Canche lighthouse. This is the fine-dining room inside an old-school Le Touquet luxury hotel, where the kitchen works a seafood-forward creative menu, think caviar, lobster, langoustine, handled with the kind of precision that earned a Michelin star. La Table du West next door handles the lighter appetite.


  8. Rank 13. Auberge du Moulinel

    Traditional French




  9. Rank 16. Le Paris

    Modern French


  10. Rank 17. Le Mezquité

    Fusion Mexican

    Cochinita pibil cooked over mesquite wood sits alongside mole poblano with duck at this fusion restaurant in Le Touquet, where the menu is a direct product of its owners' geography: he's from Valenciennes, she's from Puebla. The result is French regional ingredients run through Mexican methods, sauces, and smoke, with a fondness for the latter that turns up across the menu in ways you won't quite expect.






  11. Rank 22. Les Orfèvres

    Modern French




  12. The signature here is cabbage, stuffed leaf by patient leaf, which tells you something about the kitchen's temperament. This is a modern French restaurant in the countryside south of Amiens, where the menu tracks the season and the pantry leans local. The room pairs waide blue, a pigment native to the region, with raw concrete. Prices run unusually gentle for cooking this considered.


  13. Rank 26. Préambule

    Modern French



  14. A seafood restaurant in Boulogne-sur-Mer, where the catch is the whole point and the kitchen's commitment to sustainable fishing isn't just a menu footnote. The name nods to the fisherman's wife, a fitting tribute in a port town, and the cooking follows tradition without getting stiff about it. Leave room for the soufflé, which the team has made their signature, and which earns that status without any help from marketing.


  15. Rank 29. Orizon

    Modern French

    A modern French restaurant where the kitchen draws its ingredients almost entirely from the Côte d'Opale and Pas-de-Calais, the coastal stretch just outside the door. The chef and his front-of-house partner met while working together elsewhere, and the room carries that comfortable familiarity. Expect careful, produce-led cooking with a classical backbone, the kind of place where a slow-cooked egg starter and a riz au lait finish feel like enough of an argument.
