The Best Seafood Near Racines, by the Record

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.

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.

A small hotel-restaurant wedged into a coastal village between two famous capes, La Plage leans hard into the Opal Coast's larder: sea bream, mackerel, pollack, whatever came in. The chef's plating is careful without being precious, and the menu strays into poultry and slow-braised things when she feels like it. The Michelin Guide gives it a Bib Gourmand, which tells you the math works out well at the end of the meal.
