Restaurants in Calais

[BensGrandad]

Going to Calais for the weekend and when there previously noted most restaurants are closed Saturday evenings. Does anybody know of any reasonable middle of the range price wise restaurants that may be open. Dont want a cheap cafe or top price place just an ordinary restaurant serving meat and fish.

There is one called the Jungle, which has a wide range of world cuisine

One there called The Jungle, I believe. It is mainly middle eastern cuisine, and can get a little lively at times, but you should be okay there BG.

Drive a couple of miles down the coast to a place called Cap Gris Nez, the place where cross channel swimmers swim to. The restaurant is called La Serene, used to go there once or twice a year, it was bloody wonderful, but I've not been able to get there now for a few years.

Talk about setting yourself up.

Are you camping by chance?

Going to Calais for the weekend and when there previously noted most restaurants are closed Saturday evenings.

What on earth? Saturday nights are the most popular nights for restaurants.

A quick check on Trip Advisor reveals there are 119 restaurants in Calais, which should give plenty of choice. There's even one called Oh! Seagulls, which sounds appropriate

The Rainforest Cafe will give you an authentic jungle dining experience which I think you will enjoy.

L' Arriere Gauche is excellent

Sound advice.

 

[Weatherman]

He will probably end up on the menu. Would take a long time to slow roast though

I looked at that and got confused with so many but there was one Au Grill in Rue St Mer which read quite well. Wife doesnt want to drive far when we arrive in Calais., That appears to be about 10 mins walk from our hotel.so she can have a glass of wine, I am all heart.

Still very much open.
In Audinghen which is in a different universe to the jungle (and Calais port to be fair). Serves wonderful fresh seafood.
I once had smoked eel there served with smoked salmon and scrambled duck eggs. Superb!

[pastafarian]

never had a bad meal in cafe de tour and its always busy with locals,reasonable prices too.....its on the old square where the de gaulle statue is and a few yards from the better known cafe de paris

Of course the best place is le perroquet bleu.
