We thought this was a great little museum! Obviously not as big and flash as a museum in a major city but we learned loads about Operation Dynamo, lots of nice artefacts and everything written in both English & French so easy to follow. Easy to get round in about an hour/hour and a half and they have toilets. Good value especially with the couples ticket. Would recommend

What a lovely, clean, and well-presented museum. The displays are clear, the exhibits are of real quality, and the supplementary information is well written and highly informative. The museum follows the modern style of presentation that many institutions are moving towards, but what truly sets it apart is the lighting. Unlike so many museums that are overly dim, this one is perfectly lit with warm, bright lighting that makes every exhibit easy to see. The effect is both inviting and engaging, creating an atmosphere that encourages you to take your time and really absorb the experience.

Great experience, the main reason for my visit to Dunkirk as my Grandfather was on the beach there. Fantastic museum bringing the story and horror's of this historic event, as well as commemorating the fallen. Great entry price 7 euro .

Fantastic museum, small but jam packed full of information and artifacts. Information boards written in French and English and presented in easy to follow formats. Plenty of artifacts from uniforms and weapons to parts of tanks. The dioramas and maps of the operation were really interesting and with the museum being so close to the beach it made it a lot easier to visualise the extent of it. For €10 you can get a joint ticket to both here and Fort des Dunes.

A fantastic insight into the history of Operation Dynamo. A reminder to the sacrifice that was made for our longstanding freedom. Worth visiting and keeping the memory alive. Cheap to enter.

This modest but fascinating museum is ideal for WW2 nuts and gun fans, also logistical exhibits such as ammo and mortar shell boxes. For 2025 it's so cheap for admission, maybe that's a good marketing ploy as it encourages extra spending in the shop. No cafe but hey it's France, so there are many nearby. Wonderful photographs on display and a few real relics dug up from under the sand. Even my small children loved it, really glad we went there. Parking's dead easy too - and free.

Lovely museum, extremely informative and very well presented in a 19th century, preserved bunker. Excellent layout, lovely staff and great displays with some very poignant items. Completely wheelchair accessible with no issues whatsoever. Well worth a visit.

Saint-Eloi’s Church was burnt in 1558 and nearly destroyed by French troops. Early 1560 the city decided to rebuild the church and assigned master- builder, Jean de Renneville, to restore it. The church was rebuilt with Gothic flamboyant style, then enlarged and increased solidity by another architect. The major restoration were necessary after the damage caused by the two world wars, the last one ended in 1985.

Very impressive old church, real nice and sceneric 🏆🏅

A must place to vosit. I would definitely suggest to go on top of the tower (they have a lift!)

Beautiful Church , but was closed because of Corona , but very good surroundings , explore the area , cafe's, restaurants , shopping and more history

Beautiful cathedral. Beautiful architecture and art.

Beautiful cathedral showing shell damage from WW2 on the entrance wall

I visited the tower to catch the view, which is amazing. You can see the city and the sea from the top. Also there are photos and information indicating the buildings you are viewing from the top(very good to note where you are heding next. There is an escalator which takes you 5 floors up and then you have to climb a couple of steps

Interesting timeline history of the ancient port of Dunkerque. French style "sense de la visite" layout (you're ushered along a predetermined route rather than being at liberty to wander). Reasonable amount of multilingual interpretation but significant gaps might hinder the understanding of those without any French understanding (or a translator on their phone). Lots of excellent models, plans and photos over three floors. Took us about 3 hours.

You pay 8€ for adults and you can visit 3 boats, Duchess Anne included, and 3 étages of the museum building. It was quite interesting to pick up on the board and to see the real boat which was given as a part of reparations after WWll from Germany to France. However the museum is a bit boring. Yes, it's absolutely renovated with an interesting design inside, but not enough actions or at least the possibility to take a guide excursion. So you are just walking from stand to stand, from ship to ship and that's all.

Great museum and tells the story of Dunkirk over the centuries very well. Well worth your time and more engaging than the Operation Dynamo museum (alas). Note you can get a duo ticket for both museums that saves you on some admission fare but that pass only seems available here as the sign wasn’t readily visible at the ticket counter at the Operation Dynamo museum.

Really interesting museum of Dunkirk maritime history and more. I particularly liked the three boats you can visit outside. To be honest, if you have to choose between the maritime or the operation Dynamo museum, the maritime museum wins hands down, more eclectic, bigger collection and obviously covers many more topics

There are many things to see. Unfortunately there is very limited information in English. Very disappointed with this. There were also videos of Port History at different places, still in French. Overall the museum is nice, but the language makes it hesitant to recommend. Being an international place this problem should be taken into consideration.

Lovely place, reasonable prices, lovely scale models that a lot of love has gone in to. Lots of history of the area and friendly staff. Sadly not everything had an English translation but we managed to use Google Lens. :)

Very nice museum full of Dunkirk and naval history.

The place itself is historic because of its relevance in WW2 Dunkirk Dynamo operation. Aside from that its overcrowded and overpriced (restaurants and bars). We had overall bad customer service everywhere. Maybe best to visit in spring or fall.

A beautiful beach steeped in history, with a stunning promenade stretching as far as the eye can see, lined with restaurants and bars along the seafront. For those drawn by the past, the area is filled with plaques and information boards commemorating Operation Dynamo. I walked up through Dunkirk town, past the museum and over the bridge to the beach. At the end of the bridge stands a striking monument as a reminder of what took place here in 1940, but standing on the sand and looking out over the beautiful beach, it’s hard to imagine the scenes that unfolded here all that time ago.

Nice atmosphere. Beach was quiet. Loads of space. And a war historians pilgrimage for me. Amazing to think of all the brave souls who were here before.

Clean and huge and kilometer long beach area , very historical 1940 , as really nice to take a walk at the promenade , worth visiting for a nice ride on the bicycle , by walk or skateboard. Lots of parking possibilities , ice-cream , restaurants for nice lunch, there are toilets and showers and water to clean your sandy feet.

The beach where the allied soldiers mostly managed to make it back to fight another day from. Bit eerie but a beautiful beach.... Just couldnt help thinking about all those guys huddled up here waiting for their turn and getting attacked the whole time while they were all so close to home.....

Huge sandy beach, but the town behind the beach was a little run down and needed a bit of reviving. Lots of building work (March 2019), so looks like improvements are happening. Went on a cold and windy day so it was very quiet and atmospheric - can imagine it being a good place to relax & enjoy the sun on a warm summer day.

One of my favorite beach in France, it's kilometers long, nice and sandy, and the water is shallow. There are bars and pubs with excellent food. I visited little time after watching the movie and I was impressed. The only thing is that the weather might be tricky in Dunkirk.

A beautiful building in a park that is still a work in progress. The park exhibits are stunning but the gallery collection needs working on. One can't argue about taste but for us and others around us there was zero wow-effect in the gallery. C'mon Dunkirk, France is heaving with great artists who would love to exhibit there.

Great exhibition with many interesting art pieces. They even have some prospects giving context to the artists and their work. The staff was kind.

Car parking was easy and free. The sculpture garden is free and has seating, it’s a lovely oasis if you’re just looking for a break and somewhere to sit. The gallery building is an impressive structure in itself. Set out on 3 floors the collection might not challenge the Pompidou but we found it worth the time and with a rotating exhibition programme it is somewhere we will return.

Wasn't sure what to expect with this museum but ended up staying for almost 2 hours because of how taken I was by the art pieces here. Absolutely worth the visit.

Great selection of modern arts. Had a group of kids a d they loved it. Very inspirational and imaginative. Kids go free and EUR 4 for adults. But during holidays it's free at times.

Nice #modernart museum. Perfect for a rainy day or to find some shadow during hit days. Surprisingly good pieces at the firts floor, the ticket is just 4 euro hence there are no reason to akip it. The personal does not speak English but they are VERY friendly, hence, they are able to communicate anyhow.

Sympathetic art exhibition that is well worth an hour of your time if you want to experience French post-modern art.

They have free public transport and the vehicles are always on time (which I rarely see in small cities..) The public transport is really clean and friendly. The town hall had a Christmas event with a huge line up, I only saw it from the outside.

Once I had chance to visit the city, actually it wasn't that bad as people said. the city has their history after 2nd world war and some building are restored obviously. They also have some nice restaurants which serve local foods. :)

Amazing building , beautiful design and impressive, worth a visit.

Top

Lovely quiet place to walk around and look at the townhall, not that wow but it’s fun

One of the most impressive buildings I saw while I was in Dunkirk the Architecture is breathtaking and very grand

A very nice and huge building

cool architecture & interesting art. good place to hide for a bit if the wind of northern "summer" is too much

I really liked this modern art museum, it has good location - close to the port and beach, interesting exhibitions on four floors, excellent children's play area for children on the ground floor - with lots of games and books. The ticket price for an adult is only 4€.

This museum has a very nice collection of contemporary art. When we visited there was a joint exposition together with the other museum just across called Lieu d’Art et Action Contemporaine (Museum of Contemporary Arts). We enjoyed the visit that develops over 4 different floors that mix physical pieces of art, visual and digital art. I haven’t spotted big names but for sure there were many interesting pieces. The museum is modern and well kept. It extends on one warehouse which gives a very impactful atmosphere to the pieces exposed. There are a small bar and shop inside. We visited on the first Sunday of the month and the entrance was for free! Highly recommended when you are in Dunkerque.

We loved the FRAC which is located in a building that is matching an adjacent container terminal next to the port of Dunkerque. Very nice exhibition celebrating the 40 year anniversary of the center and breathtaking views on the beach and North Sea coastline.

A place for modern art, it is a bit disappointing, the place is huge and it is underexploited. It is financed by our taxes, so I believe they could allow for some concerts, latino dancing or other social events as they don't have any direct neighbors and there is a huge free parking next to it.

Lots of interesting exhibits in a great post industrial building. Worth visiting. Lots of provocative pieces. Not always sure what's an exhibit and what's part of the building! It turned out that the "click, click, click" in the section that was inviting me to reflect on the constraints of time and space was not an installation but a bucket catching drips.

That's rather an eccentric museum, that is not suitable for everyone, but if you are interested in contemporary art and modern activism and it's projection from a rather small artistic community, you won't be disappointed

Absolutely great value for money. Only a few euros to get in, and you can easily spend an hour or so in there (if not more if you time it to see the feeding). Great place to spend extra time if you've just got off the ferry

Really nice little zoo nestled within a residential area. Animal enclosures are nicely designed and obviously well looked after and the animals had a nice amount of space. Interesting selection of species, it was cool to see Jaguarundi as they aren't in many collections in the UK. You can probably walk around the whole place in around an hour but always worth walking around more to see the more elusive animals.

A rather small zoo, but enjoyable nonetheless. Surprisingly, on the day of my visit, it was pretty empty most of the time with very little visitors. Some of the habitats could definitely be a bit bigger, but generally, the animals do have a nice home here. Employees are friendly, but be advised that most of them speak little to no English, so you’d better brush up on your French. The ticket prices are really cheap - which actually surprises me with the amount of animals they harbor. There’s free parking, too. Overall, this is a nice place and I liked coming here.

Great zoo. Funny sheep. Slightly on the spectrum seals that just zoomed in circles. Lynx had babies and they fell off the top bit which was funny. Toilets were good.

Nice small scale zoo. Lots of different animals to see.

Excellent value zoo, great range of small to mid size animals that are well cared for. Only €5 entry and a good gift shop. The route is not do well signed but it's at the far north of Dunkirk, satnav will take you there. Great for kids.

Great place to visit €4 each we spent about an hour or so there but with kids I guess a while longer there's a few activities centers for them and picnic tables half way round by the unisex toilets and the gift shop at the end.

Amazing view of the toem from the top. Interesting to see the bells too. Staff were very helpful and friendly

Beautiful view from the top, especially at night. We went on one of their special "apero" nights and had a lovely cup of mulled wine and biscuits. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, definitely worth a visit.

A great view of Dunkirk from the rooftop accessed through a narrow low stairway. Only a little vertigo due to the height of the wall. Lift takes you to the first stage part of the belltower. Staff were very helpful and spoke English very well and without reservation.

Definitely worth a visit! Staffs from the tourist office were very friendly and helpful. They gave us a city map with bus schedule for our day trip in Dunkerque. 5€ for adulte to visit Saint Éloi Belfry was the best thing to do. Free for children under 7 years old. With a 360 observation desk that offers a mind-blowing view make this place the landmark of Dunkerque.

One of the best attractions in Dunkirk in my opinion, the Monday we went there was a lot of wait in the afternoon so we came back the next day and a bit earlier. We were able to get some places to go up and have a view of the city. You will have to walk a few stairs which are super tight and not a lot of space, warning if you are claustrophobic the climb is very unpleasant

Went here on our holiday to Dunkirk and was impressed! It was only €5 which isn’t bad at all and the views are great! I would definitely tell anyone that visits Dunkirk give this place a go!

Unfortunately it was closed when I arrived but it was lovely to view from the outside nonetheless. There is a big parking clomped nearby and if you don’t mind walking for a bit you can park on the bingo parking lot for free.

We had a traditional menu for dinner, staff was friendly and we enjoyed the dishes. Prices are a bit overrated but it's justified with the location and the restaurant itself.

The food was impeccable. I enjoyed being there, it was definitely an experience. The staff was friendly, however every time I was approached in French, even though it had been established that I didn't speak any. As a tourist I understand I'm the visitor, but I found it a bit pointless.

Good quality, prices are somewhat adequate given that it is France and the location/story/setting of the restaurant. Service depends on the waiter, some were super friendly and explained & advised, others were more impersonal and quite robotic

Poor. Visited as a large group. Veal starter was very acidic. Main was duck and was cold. Service far too rushed. Nice drinks. The real disaster and disappointment here was a dessert was spilled on my colleague’s knee whilst seated. Very poor apology. Would not visit again.

Incredible restaurant on board the HMS Princess Elizabeth (who saved 1650 soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940). Beside the location the food, wines, cocktails, whisky and everything else is perfect, even the bill. A must.

We had a very nice lunch here and they accommodated my gluten-free needs very well. Their online reservation system worked very well except some timings do not reflect the restaurant closure but they called us to inform us and modify our timing.

It’s just amazing. The boat is owned by the urban community and rented by a restaurant by a mechanism of pu lic services delegation . I didn't had lots of choices but I have appreciated the moment spent there because of the spectacular view

This was our first time in Dunkirk, and Le Protocole stood out as the only restaurant in town without a break in service hours — which was a big plus for us. We ended up visiting twice: once for a late lunch, and later for coffee and dessert. Our first visit was excellent, which is why we returned. The mussels were decent, and the male waiter was very friendly and welcoming. It left a great impression. However, our second visit unfortunately did not match the first. After walking around town, we came back for a coffee and some waffles. A young waitress with red hair in a ponytail saw us but didn’t greet or seat us. Instead, she served a French couple who arrived after us. When she finally acknowledged us, she placed us at a table right next to the kitchen door — a spot that had a strong, unpleasant smell, almost like a toilet. The restaurant was nearly empty, so the choice of table felt intentional and unkind. It’s disappointing to say this, but the experience felt discriminatory. It’s a shame, because our first visit was so positive. The inconsistency in service left us with mixed feelings.

This place is AMAZING! From the moment you walk into this restaurant, you feel great! The decor is outstanding. All the staff were so very attentive. The food was perfect! I what was basically fries topped with shredded chicken and melted cheese. It was delicious (you need to be a French fries and cheese fan) the desserts are amazing and very big portions! So x1 dessert for two people is really enough. Our waiter Sébastien was amazing! Very very good at his job. Thank you for making us feel very welcome. We will be back again.

Visited the place after reading the good reviews. Very good ambience, friendly staff, it was a bit pricey but the food is good. We ordered mixed finger food, seafood platter with 3 varieties of fish, grilled octopus platter and 3 drinks. Instead of the seafood platter we received a dorade fish menu ordered by a gentleman sitting on another table beside us. Since we had started eating, we did not complain but at the end we were charged for the seafood platter. Luckily i had taken photos of the food before eating, so we cleared the situation with the waiters and they gave us another bill without any discussions.

Disappointed. Our mussels were overcooked and we had to send them back. No apologies from manager or commercial discount. Butter with extra Televisions goes on with the news ruining the atmosphere.

We visited on 9th July as had a few hours free waiting for ferry back to Dover. Amazing service provided by the staff, seated as quickly and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend if in the area. The views are amazing.

Food was simply horrible. They have such a beautiful location - ok the Design of the place is ostentatious, trying too hard to be upscale, but - this restaurant COULD be top notch. Yet, they really managed to ruin the food and made it a miserable experience, especially when the bill comes. Risotto that came with an overly fried fish was so salty it was inedible and tasted like old fat. No need to talk about consistency. 30 euros. The fries that came with a traditional meat dish were obviously pre-frozen and then sadly died in fat. How is it possible to ruin them so badly? Three stars because the waiters were nice and service not as slow as the other reviews said. And they gave a discount because of the inedible parts of the dishes.

Beautiful setting, tasty food, but the service is very slow due to restaurant being completely full for lunch with only 3 waiters working. Flammekueche and Mules were great

The food here was divine. 🎉. My mum booked us in for dinner after having read some good reviews and boy did she choose well. The wine was great, the bread was great and then when the dinner arrived, it struck us silent as we enjoyed all the wonderful flavours. I ordered the Duck Magret and I deeply wished I had a second stomach so I could eat it again. Sadly I am but human and only have one stomach but such is life. We couldn’t fit dessert but if we could have, we would have! Thank you all so much for a fantastic experience. By far my favourite restaurant in Dunkerque.

It has promise and perhaps we were unlucky a few things went wrong. The good - amuse bouche was tasty and a nice touch, like that they accommodate kids with smaller portions and nice location. The bad - My kids mocktails had what looked like green mould in them. Service with drinks was kind of slow. When we asked for mayonnaise for the fries they didn't arrive until they were cold. The ugly - I spent the whole night/morning being poorly with food poisoning. I suspect it was starter as I was the only one to have that and was the only ill person. I called to let them know as they may wish to look into, didn't really feel they took ownership or cared a great deal. Was just told its not us.

The place is decent enough. Went there mainly because of the ratings that it had recieved and therefore thought that it would be one of the better restaurants along the coastal strip. It would've been nicer if the place had more in-house preparations. The service was also ok. Our tea/coffee came after the dessert. I must say that it was quite packed for a Monday afternoon. The organic red wine, which my friend had, was really nice. Not bad but nothing exceptional either.

I have eaten all around the world. Have been to hundreds of restaurants in my life (Im 46) from Michelin starred restaurants to dives. This was THE worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant and one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever experienced in any industry. The wait staff was unbelievably obnoxious and rude(coming from a former waiter). We ended up not eating here (after waiting 45 minutes for a menu and 50 minutes for water) so I cannot comment on the food. Our table was never inconsiderate or impolite at any point. We were never loud or obnoxious either(no one in our group drank any alcohol). We walked down a few blocks and had a delicious meal at a very warm and welcoming establishment.

If you make a reservation they will place you in the worst part of the restaurant. We were seated in a very dark place near the kitchen. I think the trick is that they place people who reserved a table in advance in the worst corners of the restaurant while they leave the terrace for those who were passing by and decided at the last minute to eat. I notice that those "reserved tables" at the terrace remained empty most ot the time. It completely sour our experience.

Been here many times over the years, always Fabulous food & good service

The service was excellent and when all the construction is done along the beach, I imagine the atmosphere would be also much better. A good wine and beer selection. The fish that i had was very lacking in flavor, but the rest of my group enjoyed their meals and they looked much better. The menu (appetizer, main and dessert) was priced well.

Basic eatery on the beach where you should probably prefer the mussels served in many variants. I had the bad luck to chose a salmon and avocado tartar and a plate of 3 little pieces of local cheese that, like the tartar, had probably spent the previous night under a plastic foil in the refrigerator, judging from the rests of plastic foil on the edges of the plates. It didn't help that I found a tooth filling in the tartar...

Food was good, but service was terrible. Lady who served us was so rude, I had a feeling that guests will do dishes in the kitchen. Not recommend. Especially if is special occasion .

Food was decent, not great - pizza was a little soggy, mussels in a bucket were a bit of overcooked. The restaurant was busy, so I was okay with all that. But, the worst/wierdest part was that I needed to order bread (extra) for soaking up the mussel juices, as it didn't come with the dish...

Appreciate the effort taken by the staff to speak English and explain the food to us. They were patient and puts us at ease. Doing their best. Food is awesome except beef could be warmer when served. The mussles were generous and goes really well with champagne. Setting is cosy. For menu refer to images to have an idea of what is served and price point.

The food was nice . The service could be improved as they are a bit slow but it was fine overall.

The food was great (muscles and cod/salmon dishes) and the seating area on the promenade was great in the evening sun and friendly staff. Missing because chair+table design/layout meant they took up space or badly positioned so I had to keep moving for the staff who also knocked me several times. Also had to queue in a busy area for an unnecessarily complicated payment system more like a buffet restaurant.

Typical familial French cuisine Huge portion, homemade and very tasty meal + very good value for money. I can only recommand 😉

Cheap and cheerful! Came to €40 for two to have a jacket potato each and 2 drinks each. Very big portion sizes and as nice as can be for a jacket potato

If you like potatoes, then you should eat here. Very nice place, close to the beach, with tasty potatoes with different sides. You have dessert included. The personnel was very friendly and we didn’t wait very long to have our dinner, which it’s important when you go with the children

Jacket potatoes are not really my favourite food but the children wanted to go to this restaurant because they get a free toy at the end of the meal. The service was excellent. Their menu at EUR 20 (aperitif, main course, dessert, coffee) is particularly good value.

Had a wonderful dinner here out on the beachfront. The potato portions are huge! If you like cheesy baked potatoes you cannot go wrong. Oh! I almost forgot, they include dessert as part of the meal!

Great place, friendly staff with good English. Didn't realise it was Jacket Potato based, but was fantastic and glad to experience other toppings than the normal beans and cheese. Would definitely go again.

The stay there was okay, I don’t recommend it for vegetarians, the only meal they have without meat is a salad. I took instead the 4 fromage potato (without the ham) and it tasted like nothing. The salad next to it was nice, but not seemed fresh. The aperol spritz just tasted like water. The menu for 19 € is nice= drink, potato, dessert and coffee is included. For France it’s cheap. The staff was nice but they didn’t talk English (except one). All in all not the best experience but still okay.

Who knew potatoes could be this good? Excellent staff and service was fast...even thought they were also serving a tour group of around 40 people. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. Wide variety of toppings and good prices.

We stopped in Dunkerque for one night for an early train the next day back to the UK and were so happy to have found this place whilst searching Google Maps for somewhere to eat. I love this style of place - big, modern, good atmosphere, amazing beers, and solid food choices. There were families, friends, and couples all enjoying the big space and modern decor. The amber beer was really smooth and very easy to drink, and the beer cocktails were also really good! It's very easy to drink on a warm night. The food was good, the Flammekueche especially was amazing - we had the goats cheese and honey one and it was delicious. Could've eaten 10 😂 Our waitress was lovely and could speak very good English, we only had a French menu, but it wasn't too hard to figure it out with the French we know and Google Translate. If the waitress hadn't spoken English we would have been able to order ok, so it's really nice they can speak English but it's France so it shouldn't be a must-have expectation! I just really like the vibe of the place, and I think if I lived in Dunkerque, I'd be down here all the time! The only improvement is that on the Ceaser salad, in the image on the menu, the sauce was in a dish on the side, but when it came the salad was totally covered in it, and it was really quite thick. The sauce was lovely, you could really taste the anchovy but... it would have been nice to have been able to put it on ourselves in the amount we want not super thick all over. We did inform our very nice waitress of this who was very apologetic!

We tried this place for a quick bite. It has its own brewery on site. After tasting the blonde and Amber beer I thought the blonde one was best. This place has two entrances from the shopping centre and the street. The food was of a good standard. Particularly good value was the cheesy fries. Service was friendly.

Horrible Place! Food was decent, the place looks nice however the staff is easily the worst we’ve ever experienced. We are not fluent in French and from the beginning they seemed sceptical to serve us. When the communication was hard the waiter rolled her eyes and just left just, we had to wait quite a while until someone else came. They visibly made fun of us and treated us without any respect. This is not how to deal with paying customers nor anyone else! You should really think about how to fix that issue because like that this place is unbearable! I advice anyone to avoid

Not bad for quick stop, but be ready that kitchen is closed at 3pm on Sunday which is not stated in opening hours. But thanks to one saint waiter we were allowed to sit at 14:45, at the same time two others were not sure if we can do it…. Beer was good, burger good enough.

It’s a 3 Brasseurs! Very good food at a reasonable price with friendly service and a good atmosphere. Always a consistent place to eat!

Nice place in the center of the city and facing the marina. Good choice of made beers. Food from the north and also strangely from the east of France. Consider it as a restaurant of food coming from French regions historically producing beer and not wine. Kitchen close after 10:30pm. Better to place orders before 10pm, more choices. Lack of salads, not a place for veggies!

Lovely people, excellent food, good selection of artisanal beers. What else would you want? Definitely recommend. 10+

Had a great lunch here. Recommend booking as it is popular. Great value. Lovely staff. x

A bit of a shabby place, but the mussels were really good, tasteful

62 different mussel preparations on the menu 😲 Lovely place situated at the end of the seadike, overlooking the beach. Friendly service

We Couldn’t Understand a thing on the Menu apart from the BEER , So We Just Ordered the food by pointing at Customers Photo On Google …. An English Menu would have helped ,,, but nonetheless brilliant food and customer service (At First a bit on the slow side but , it was really busy when we were there, saying that as soon as the order was taken, food was out in minutes) Highly Recommend as the location in front of the beach makes the food taste even better and please book your table in advance as it gets really busy during busy hours.

Had our anniversary dinner there see pictures. If you visit and we recommend you do, just go for the mussels we had enormous portions and enjoyed every mouthful

Best muscles ever and the fries are awesome as well. Can’t beat this stop for a great meal at a friendly price. Family friendly environment. Everyone gets the muscles and now I know why, wow. Reservation is recommended.

Lovely restaurant and food, nice and helpful staff. Mussels in Garlic white wine sauce and mushrooms very tasty

Centrally located in the city center, super convenient. You know what to expect…food was ok, not surprising. Service was average, staff were busy and hard to get their attention. Atmosphere was great but it got busier and busier. Difficult to find parking since it’s in the city center.

On early Saturday afternoon I had a very delicious lunch here. Of course, on mange toujours bien en France, but it was the service at Le Grand Morien that made the difference. Florian's suggestions were amazingly helpful. The food, the beer, the wine, and finally the dessert--I really loved it all. This beautiful brasserie certainly is one of the best places to eat in Dunkirk. I will come back the next time I am over there.

Food was good, Staff was friendly

Couple of visits here whilst staying in the town. Once for an excellent meal then other for hydration only 🍻

A lovely brasserie right next to the Eglise Saint-Etoi. It has a good variety of plates and drinks. Has a nice terrace overlooking the main square. Food was good, service was very nice too. If you are in the center I recommend.

We ate a breakfast there, this was only option but really enough. It was tasty. It was really hard on sunday to find a salty breakfast in Dunkerque. Most of the restourants are open everydat but kitchen is not open till 11h, 12h in most places.

It was really busy The Dunkirk Carnaval time. Service 4 stars because - The waiter / garcon didn't offer to wait for a table to be vacated. However really fast did a table service. The atmosphere 4 stars because it was really busy time as I mentioned below. It was Carnaval time and many restaurant guests came to drink coffee or wine. They were in no hurry to vacate the table.

We ate here two times during our stay in Dunkerque. The fact that we came back probably shows that we enjoyed the food there. I had muscles and lobster risotto. Both really tasty, generous portions. Service a little rough around the edges maybe, but not unpleasant. Not much to complain about, we will come back for sure!

Excellent food, generous portions but the service was a bit slow. Somehow they overcharged us with 4 orders that were not ours. Only discovered it as I was tallying the expenses once in the hotel. Had an early departure back to London so we couldnt follow this up with them.

Good overall experience! Restaurant is conveniently located by the beach. They have English menu. Food is well seasoned, portions are generous. Opening hours on google may not be up to date, so check with restaurant.

The mussles were delicious 😋 really recommend. Portions are very generous as well. The location is also perfect,just by the front beach. Would definitely recommend!

There’s a reason places like this survive for decades — reputation. Once upon a time, maybe it was deserved. Maybe the mussels were transcendent, the service sharp, the whole thing worth a slow train ride from Paris. But now? Now it feels like the king has abdicated. You walk in and they’ve got that polished, almost studied sense of “hospitality” — just enough attention to make you believe you’re getting something special. But behind it, there’s a fatigue, the quiet confidence of a place that knows you came here because of the name, not because they earned you tonight. The oysters? Fine. Not bad. But when you’ve had Jerry in Perth behind the shucking knife — not a single shard of shell, no grit, champagne frosty enough to make you shiver — these just feel like they clocked in, did the job, and went home. The steak arrived as two odd, mismatched cuts on a plate, like leftovers from a butcher’s B-side. The fish — a whole sea bass, pan-cooked, flanked by vegetables that seemed like they’d been sentenced to die on that plate. A smear of vegetable purée acting less like a flourish and more like edible glue to keep the garnish from sliding into the abyss. And before all that, there’s the dance — the wait, the two sittings rule, the mild but unmistakable pomposity about where and when you get to sit. You’re in Dunkirk, not Versailles. The bill, like the reputation, is bigger than the experience. High prices, middling returns. And here’s the thing — walk a few doors down and you’ll find better options. Friendlier faces, no games about seating times, no haughty theater. Just good seafood, served by people who seem to actually give a damn. Le Roi de la Moule? Still wearing the crown — but the shine’s long gone.

Absolutely loved my experience here! The seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting—perfect for a nice evening out. Excellent service all around. Will definitely be coming back!

We have been to Roi de la Moule as a family (2 adults, two children now 9) every summer for the last three years, either as we leave or enter France from the UK, and it’s a firm favourite. We always get the ‘mussels in the king’s manner’ because it’s the best! You do need to book because it gets very busy but it’s absolutely worth it. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Visited on a cold, windy and wet Thursday evening but everything about this restaurant soon warmed us up. Staff were excellent and the food was the best we had in a trip that included Monaco, Nice and Geneva. Steak was perfectly cooked, oysters were fresh and clean, accompanied by a very nice mignonette and the crème brûlée finished the meal off perfectly. The bill included beers and sparkling water and was £35 each which was Incredible value for such quality.

Very good dining experience and amazing food. Definitely worth a try and you won't be disappointed.

delicious food. amazing service. the maitre’d spoke english and was very helpful with my allergies. the mediterranean style sea bream, was gluten and dairy free.

The restaurant is right by the sea, so the view from the terrace is wonderful. The menu is interesting. I found many dishes of traditional French and Flemish cuisine. The grilled cod fillet with black rice was delicious. The Flemish stew with pieces of gingerbread and cinnamon is not my flavour at all. A very interesting combination for me but not to my taste. It's something for Flemish foodies. But the meat was excellent. Everything was aesthetically presented, the service was courteous and friendly and I would recommend it. Merci beaucoup

Stunning food presentation with very great flavors and the kitchen has to be on of Europe’s most cleanest and tidy.

Had a lovely meal there with brilliant service. Beautiful location with views of the beach and sunset. Indoor and outdoor seating available for winter and summer. Suggest booking.

We as 2 pair of sailors arrived around 8 (sorry if it aint in french we are dutch) Never had this amount of quality and service for this price in France, absolutely amazing thanks for everything

Good airport, but DESPERATELY needs to be TOTALLY renewed and internationalized, and more jet bridges, new restaurants, more shops, etc, this is MONEY and the Economy for the country of Belgium and jobs for the Belgium people and immigrants.

the best airport in Belgium. There are few people, you come in, quickly pass the control, sit on comfortable chairs and wait for your plane. The waiting area has everything you need: comfortable chairs, coffee, drink machines, free and fast internet, no registration required. Super.

Nice small airport. The problem is as any other airport they make you through the water to lateral charge you 3.8 for a 500ml water with no other option

We fly via Ostend Bruges Airport, and we find it nice and efficient.small but amazingly inside departure area is quite jumpack still cozy for all travelers, 👍👍👍👍👍

Brugge was a place like no other. People actually stop to talk to each other despite language barriers. Looking for taste, religious connection, serenity of the river/water, entertainment, Exercise? Well take you pick all there. Loved the experience ❤️

we had a swift arrival from mallorca via tui airlines & baggage claiming was swift. going home was convenient too when it comes to either commuting or parking your own car as there is a bus stop to various locations and the parking area is iust out front.

I love ith so much and I'm was very nice

NO SEATS, DIRTY TOILETS, all the STAFF is RUDE and worst of all, the security counted and liked 2 products that i carry for years and never had a problem in ANY airport (i’ve been to +8 different airports with those products) and he (security) said products with less than 100ml aren’t allowed and he would take them!!! this airport is A JOKE. ps: while i’m writing this i just got told my flight has been delayed, wow, never stepping into this airport again.

By far the worst ever airport I've been to in my life. Poorest infrastructure. Less than 50m in length. One shop that doesn't even have anything to eat. Common flight delays. No one speaks or understands English in an international airport. Clown show

Never again They only opened the check in 1 hour before departure and the queue was for all volotea flights So there were people in front of us who had a later flight and the queue stretched across the entire airport The check in was also very slow When we finally got checked in and reached the douane, we had to run because we only had 2 minutes left (eventhough we were in the airport 3 hours early..), but we stood in the check in line for 2,5 hours! And that with a baby.... Very bad organisation, would hardly not recommend

small, no seats, very chaotic and extremely dirty toilets

My disabled mother had to pay €36 for a bottle of water at this airport in a duty-free store. She was cheated of money and the customer service doesn't want to admit it. Be careful about paying there !

Rather small airport, it is not closed for the night in case you have a connection travel from here, it is possible to spend the night. 230V/USB sockets avaiable, free unlimited WiFi. Besides - nothing special.

Our plane parked at a bridge space but still walked down using stairs and then took an elevator up to the arrival hall. Don't know why. The public transportation connection to the city is almost non-existent. If you're not a local, don't book a flight from/to this airport.
