It may not look like much from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. The card shows a limited number of dishes, but these dishes are worth a detour. The fish terrine for starters was excellent. For main dish I had the coquilles St. Jacques,...More View all feedback.
2nd trip but overall around 6 visits lunching and dining - this time a lunch and a Sunday dinner after all the weekenders had cleared off - and it was still busy with early (typically in local town France) customersAnd as I say, 'scuse me but its **** good 'ereReal sure fire attentive service and cheffing from the boss, the chef and any of the team - you know what, they listened and with interest and cooked to our preferences!They do cook to order (if you remember that notion) so we waited a little bit at lunch for the mains - but there was not a spare seat so the atmosphere kept us goingI think I wont go on but just say .... go! And if you are on a winter trip they do open in March (last year they invested in kitchen improvements so opened a bit later in the month) - in doubt - Tel 03 22 26 28 99All tables are good but if you do want a beach view - ask early
We didn't eat this time - shame - big shame - this is superb but they are currently undergoing a refurbishment so try to call them firstOn a previous trip we went 3 or 4 times so the rating below is reflective of those visits - this restaurant is known over in St Valery so it has a reputation beyond CayeuxRing first 33 3 22 26 28 99
Cayeux sur Mer is a lovely sleepy seaside town and Le Petit Baigneur is definitely our favourite place to eat there. It is on the sea front and has a good varied menu. The waiters are delightful.
One of those restaurants that you find my chance and where everything comes out right. Charming service, authentic traditional cuisine and an excellent location on the sea front. Even dog friendly. Our best meal among several excellent ones in a week in the Somme.
Some posh places can be a bit sniffy if you order a light meal at lunchtime - they weren't here. My wife had the fish soup, which she pronounced to be excellent. I had the Assiette de trois fromage, which was as good as only good French cheese can be, with Loic Raison dry Breton cider, which is right up there with the best that Somerset can show.The restaurant has a glass front built out on the the promenade, which gives excellent views on a windy and changeable day. Not sure about the stripy bathing tops, though.
